As I was driving into Hungary from Romania yesterday (different post in Trips and Travel Reports), I was on a main highway, M43. I was cruising along at 140 KPH (87 MPH), and something strange happened. I approached a large semi truck in the left lane who was passing another large semi truck on the right. As I got closer (rapidly), the truck on the right moved onto the shoulder. Then the truck on the left moved over into the right lane. I passed them both (we were 3-wide), then I saw both trucks move back one lane to the left. All that just to let me pass! I see other drivers get out of the way all the time, but nothing like this!

Talk about situational awareness! :shok:

Amazing! 

You'd never see that from the 'professional drivers' here in the States (but you already know that).     :scratch_one-s_head:
