Truck driver here: to all of u saying trucks shouldnt be in left lane i have 2 points 1: cant say for this video but many construction zones tell trucks to BE in the left lane. It keeps us from having to slow down or make dangerous lane changes when vehicles are merging onto highway 2: traffic would slow even further if too many trucks stayed in right lane. Trucks would be forced to slow down for vehicle ahead, try to get over (which would take forever because no one ever wants to let trucks over), truck speed would be reduced by the time he changes lanes which means the left lane is now equal speed of right lane. I dont expect people who dont know anything about trucks to understand, but take it from a 17 year veteran, there are probably more people driving regular cars that dont know how to drive or follow traffic etiquette than there are truckers Edit: actually 3 points....most trucks have a limiter as to how fast they travel. The complaints are probably about the trucks that can only travel 65mph (which should be fast enough in a construction zone) that are in left lane. But even still that truck has a right to pass a vehicle who is driving even slower even if it takes a little more time than you would like
Some worksites require semi trucks and busses to drive in the left lane unless entering or exiting the highway. Pennsylvania's I76 worksite is currently doing this. When they shift the drive lanes over, it's not always safe for heavy vehicles to drive on what would normally be the shoulder.
Construction zone. Trucks surrounded by impatient zoomies, are more dangerous changing lanes multiple times in short order, than staying put for that one mile. As seen if you actually watch it more than ten seconds before your reply…
I also am from Pennsylvania and therefore has run the PA turnpike countless times in my life. I live just west of Philadelphia in a town called Media and love this roadway. I've been to Pittsburgh years ago with my family and traveled through the area of the police chase a few days ago. The drive through those scenic areas is a very nice one too. The PA turnpike mainline is actually my favorite highway in the state!!!!
@illuminerd3757 not even close. Their widening the entire road to 3 lanes. Ohio line to philly where its already that wide. Doing it section by section. Its probably gonna be 15 or 20 til its completely done. They literally have to move mountains. Its been 2 years for a 10 mile stretch. And they have like 260 to go. Not sure what their gonna do with the tunnels tho
It has to be impossible to can do in general given how long that would take, and especially with the tunnels they could never do anything with that. It’s the way it is there with not enough space for more than two lanes, and completely impossible. So, it doesn’t make really any real sense to do construction for that type of project.
Had one in a Georgia construction zone in the wee hours one night years ago. I was doing the speed limit when some moron blew my doors off. Before he got out of sight I saw a county mounty in the middle. A minute later just before he blew my doors off I blinked my markers. Just after the end of the construction guess who was on the shoulder having a conversation?
@@rickadams9 I drive all lower 48. Depends upon the construction situation. Yet the left lane only is common in every state. Shoulders can be weak, right lane too narrow for semis, numerous reasons.
In a slow down construction zone, I think that rule is out, personally. Construction workers get killed every year by speeding drivers. If truck is going speed limit, don't see a problem.
@@diffened The problem is that he should not be in the left lane. Period. Any person who drives in the left lane without passing should not have a driver's licence.
awe man, was just about to grab the guitar and join in...

My daddy taught me to always let truckers in! Flash ur lights kelly n let ‘em move🤙🏽
Self-serving rationalizations make you feel good but convince no-one.
@MrSunrise- and self-centered driving causes unnecessary traffic and convinces everyone
Camp in the woods, not the left lane.
Respect the physics of large vehicles Mr. Wizard

In many construction zones in many states there are signs telling trucks and busses to use the left lane, sometimes only.
0:16 White, rectangular signs are regulatory signs. So the trucks are in the lane they’re required to be in.
I run the turnpike almost every day. That construction zone is honeypot for the state cops for 2 years now
2 years? i hope they are almost done

@@nickd.4512 .... Sounds like the Newark Airport. I've changed planes there multiple times over 40 years, and it's ALWAYS under construction!
Hii this is Revit up.
Can i feature your dashcam clips in my next compilation video ?
linked and fully credited, Thank You !!

Heyyoo my brother! Can i use it please ? Credited of course, thanks.
Sure bro

Love it.
Karma isn't real. 🤣, that's something people made up to act like they aren't getting screwed.
so god doesnt exists?
Karma is pretty basic cause and effect. If you're shitty to the world, the world will be shitty back. Unless you're rich enough, of course
Edit:Why were you in the left lane?
Some construction zones are marked "trucks use left lane".
@@russcudney1469 Driving for 50 yrs. Never seen a sign like that in Fla.. Maybe a state thing.

Soon, trucks will drive themselves.

Took him long enough
From what i can see, this is just another clueless trucker blocking the passing lane, creating gridlock and road rage.

“Clueless” Dude’s probably been on the road for over a hundred times longer than you have lmao
@@rickadams9 The state trooper didn't have a problem with it
@@rickadams9 Many construction zones. Trucks left lane only. Shoulder can be weak, lane to narrow, many reasons. Your ignorance is glaring.
