    The big trucks have 2 ft to play with. They max out at 9 ft wide in an 11ft lane. and if they wander into the next lane incorrectly, they’re responsible for 53 ft and are far more likely to kill someone.

    Ode to local statutes, in most states (all the ones I checked) it is absolutely illegal to operate in other people’s lanes.

    Statute: California Vehicle Code (CVC) § 21658(a)

    Statute: Virginia Code § 46.2-804

    Maryland Transportation Article § 21-309

    Look, I don’t love the wheel grinders, but what you wrote is not factual
