is taking like taking a major risk with your own life! I drive this highway quite frequently, in fact up until 1 year ago, I drove this stretch every single weekend, all the way through to Dauphin. Every single time I am on that highway something happens that has my heart in my stomach! Let's take my most recent trip for example...I had to hit the shoulder because an asphalt truck was just cruising on the wrong side, I watched 2 cars try to pass a camper, and nearly crash into each other as they each swerved into the lane, and back when they realized traffic was coming, I had 5 vehicles pass me at INSANE speeds! I drive an average 115-120...and these people passed me and were long gone...HOW fast do you need to go??? I saw them again anyway at the lights on 1st so I really didn't get the point. Now, I totally agree that campers, and tractors going slowly down the highway are rather annoying, and that getting to the lake after work as quickly as possible is important...but so is actually GETTING there...alive, and in 1 piece! I have heard rumours for years of the stretch from Minnedosa to Brandon being turned into 4 lanes!! I for one would be all for it!
