[s-cars] Audi TT accident

[Ed Kellock]

On a recent trip through New Mexico, between Las Vegas and Raton, I came
upon a trio of semis, closely grouped, that I was barely closing on at
95-100.  When I finally came close enough to decide to pass, I ended up at
about 110 to finally get by them. I have no idea if they were loaded or not.

Two years earlier, descending from Kingman west into California, I saw close
to 100 while I was barely passing semis on that long downhill.

Last Thanksgiving returning east from LA towing a Uhaul, I was repeatedly
passed by these behemoths who were doing a good bit more than 80.
