I drive back and forth from Kettering to Cincinnati daily and travel on Interstate 75 on more than one occasion — with me not even going the full 65 mph speed limit in the southbound lane to work. Dump trucks have pulled out in front of me with no regard or care of how close I was to them.

I barely got slowed down to the 10 mph they were going without going under the truck myself; so it would be interesting to me to hear the side of the story of the people who have lost their lives the past few days.

Lowering the speed limit is good; so is more patrol.
