Editor: I travel 16 Avenue every morning to take my dogs to the park, and every morning I am either following or being followed by a dump truck. When I鈥檓 following I can go a little faster because they speed. When I鈥檓 being followed, I am being forced to travel faster.

In defence of the dump truck drivers, I recently noticed some bad driving at 16 Avenue and 264 Street, where the driver of a gold-coloured car took advantage of a vacant left turn lane to pass a large truck, and then again shortly thereafter crossed a double solid yellow line to pass the vehicle in front of the dump truck. The driver ended up stuck behind a couple of other vehicles, that were being slowed down by a slow-moving dump truck.

It鈥檚 not always the truck driver鈥檚 fault. However, the same dump truck driver, when I passed him as I was turning left at 216 Street, was on his cell phone.
