Have CDL can drive anything anywhere and have been doing so for a long time,
Drafting is an art, developed by the best racing drivers in the world.
True dangerous, But thats my choice, As far as the guys putting their time in
on the road, I respect them and never bother the guys in the big rigs,
Buses on the other hand , Well thats personal, And the yuppies in their SUVs
are the biggest bunch of it Ive ever seen. I have been trained at the then
Calif. State Pol. high speed driving school , Along time ago, and have driven
under conditions no other human is subject too except for other professionals.
I enjoy driving, any where any time, Carl E.
