wow, didn't know so many people had similar experiences (dump truck, semi, whatever).
I hope you all took actions to tell the authorities (their higher-up's) of their driving "skillz"
I could do nothing, too busy worrying about getting a good shot (damn photography instructor is a brainwasher and teaches his class like a photography cult LOL).
But I figured someone behind me would get some info and call someone. No celly either so i couldn't dial 911. i am so surprised it didn't make the news. But some dumb shit did like Mary K. Latourno or a poor kitty cat got stuck in a tree (note this happened a WHILE back).

I have had a similar situation to TibRacer01's. Heading up I81, which is always loaded with 18 wheelers. I was behind one for several miles who was swerving occasionally and going under the speed limit. Other cars were passing. I finally decided to, and of course, right then the truck swerved first off the road to the right, and then all the way into the left lane. I was run off into the grass at 65mph. Pretty scary. Saw that truck pulled by the police 10 miles further down the road. Someone must have reported him.
One other. I was a passenger driving west at night on route 360, a 4 lane divided country highway with wide medians, grass, trees and so on. It honestly took me a good ten seconds to process the approaching headlights as a car driving on the wrong side of the road, straight towards us. I'm sure I yelled. We quickly came to a stop in the right lane, horn blaring. No place to pull off. A few seconds later a very elderly man in a big 70s chevy passes us in the left lane at about 30mph, on the wrong side of a 55mph road. I don't think he even noticed us, horn and all. We called the cops, and turned around to follow him (on the correct side of the highway of course), getting ahead a ways and flashing the high beams like mad at cars he was headed towards. A cop showed up within a few minutes and pulled him. Hard to believe there was no accident. That guy swore he was doing nothing wrong.
