You Shall Not Pass

On certain uphill stretches of Interstate 15 (and, in fact, many other highways), a third lane is added to the far right to prevent slow trucks from obstructing all other traffic. Most truckers use this, but every now and then an ambitious truck driver will try to overtake another truck by using the middle lane.

While I find this practice incredibly annoying, as it takes about three years to complete, I can live with it because the far left lane is still open.

However, a wall of trucks across three lanes is not acceptable. This happened on a long uphill segment on the way back from Las Vegas. Not only did it cause a massive traffic jam, it almost resulted in many collisions as drivers had to slam the brakes to slow from about 85mph to 35mph.

This needs to be punishable by death.
