My experience with logger roads and logging trucks in Vancouver Island
is logging trucks drivers don't like to go slow, they drive the truck like
a freight train. We are on vacation, we take time to enjoy the scenery, we
care about our van etc etc.. they are behind us honking horns and flashing
high beams. In short they have a job to do and fast... so yes sometimes we
are a nuisance to them.
