Can you tell?

What is wrong with this picture?


Look hard now (no, it is not our dirty windshield).




Okay, I'll tell you. The semi is in the left hand lane, meaning he is passing us.

Do you remember the line from Pirates of the Caribbean where the pirate says to Ms. Swan that the rules are "more like guidelines"? That saying also applies to the rules of the road here in AL.

There is not a separate speed limit for the semi trucks (like in Washington where they travel 5 to 10 less than cars). Meaning if you aren't going 10-15 miles faster than the speed limit like the other cars on the road they will pass you. It was nerve wracking the first few times it happened. But just remember they aren't really speed limit rules per say, just guidelines.
