At least you recognize/acknowledge your mistake. Most of the douchebags doing this crap think they're driving like pros.

Just ran the dragon yesterday for my first time...all I can say is WOW!!! I took it real nice and easy.I just remembered this post about staying in your lane One thing that I wasn't too happy about at all was a Semi that was in front of me, and he took up almost both lanes! I really cant believe some of these truck drivers, both his clutch and brakes were smelling real bad lol. Other then that, It was all smooth! And I will be going back tomorrow to get some pics!

In defense of the driver, he is following the route his dispatcher gave him. I've led a few drivers through before and talked to them at the end, and they all said the same thing - that was the worst road they've ever driven.
