Default No trucks in the left lane

Quick little rant

BC is making a law that no commercial trucks in the left lane on the Coquihalla next week. They are considering other highways under this law as well. How long until Alberta comes to there senses and adopts such laws here? It’s crazy when a big truck passes you and there clipping along well over 120 no way they can stop in time if needed. Then there’s the slow drag race between side by side trucks at 5km under for miles backing up traffic. I understand some get paid by the load and time is money. there’s already log books restricting there hours of operation way to many continue to doctor. A professional driver should be able to calculate how long it takes at speed limits and account for it in there trip accordingly. Put them in the left lane and restrict there speed and maybe enforce it. I’m sure it will go a long way to decrease traffic accidents on our major highways. Imo it would be a great move for public safety.
