The Washington State Patrol is looking for those small cars that dart in front of semi drivers.
Truckers know there are drivers who nearly cause accidents every day because they dart in front of semis, not knowing how much time it takes for the big rigs to slow down.
This week, state troopers are riding with truck drivers. When the patrolmen spot a car speeding, cutting off, or driving aggressively around the truck, they’ll radio ahead to fellow officers to stop the driver.
The last time they did this kind of patrol, the WSP issued more than 300 tickets in one week.
