Respects for a few 18 Wheelers.

So this week I had drove over 1K miles through the I90E/W and QEW Toronto. During those trips, I drafted behind a handful of cool 18 Wheelers. These guys knows that I was drafting behind them and they were being very helpful also. For instance, whenever the trucks passes someone, he/she speed to 80MPH. When he/she passed over and returned to the same lane, he/she speed up a bit and left some room for me. Whenever they are leaving the interstate, I would drive next to them and pressed the horn. Always get 2 horn taps from them after.

On another note, there are a-hole truckers. These guys would not let you draft behind them. Whenever they see you drafting, they would put on emergency flashers and slow down. And when you passed them, they would turn the flashers off.
