The car's windshield and pillar structures are too flimsy to resist the shearing forces that occur when they collide with the bottom edge of a semi's trailer.

Motorists must always exercise caution around trucks.…

On the freeway headed towards downtown it happened to me again that dreaded slow driver in the far left lane or better know as the passing lane. Okay, I'll be honest, I was annoyed. I came across a road rage meme and it made laugh so hard! It was Kermit the Frog with a bolded caption that said" My face when ... I'm finally to the person who would let me over." I'm looking at it again…
