I remember back in 04 coming thru WV on 64 for the interview in Indiana. It was snowing, windy and pretty crappy roads. I was following a semi which changed lanes suddenly coming up the side of a mountain. Next thing I knew I was in the same lane behind him and hadn't turned the wheel. About a mile down the road the toll road started, road plowed, salt out and traffic flowing smoothly. It was a line drawn in the road for toll road maintenance and regular I64 maintenance.
Both the trucker and I stopped at a rest stop and I told him I thought it was strange how he changed lanes until my car did the same thing. He said he had been driving for 25 years and had never had the wind push the rig a full lane change without even a little wiggle. Scared the hell out of both of us.
