Unfortunatly, many truckers, especially owner-operators, enjoy being obnoxiously loud just like the harley bikers. Our police could deal with either group, but choose not to. Since making noise with one's motor vehicle is so popular and just to be safe, maybe trucks should be required to blow their air horns when approaching intersections like the rail road trains do.
