RUDE TRUCKER GIVES ALL A BAD NAME

EARLY ON March 28, an accident on U.S. 220 South created a traffic problem. I heard about it before I left for work so was prepared to sit in traffic awhile.

When time came for the left lane of traffic to merge into the right lane to pass through Boones Mill, I became outraged by one truck driver. He not only nudged so close to the vehicle in front of him as to prevent anyone getting over; he also looked in his rear-view mirror laughing, as if it were fun and games. It is drivers like him who give truckers such a bad name. SEBRINA RUTH-COOPER ROCKY MOUNT
