Earlier today, northbound on I-5 near Jamboree Road. I'm in the #4
lane; a few cars ahead of me there is a Waste Management garbage
truck. Passing me in the #3 lane is a semi. My lane is moving kinda

It was two years ago when I brought this up here and on
misc.transport.road.
The situation involves a 4-way intersection, the side of which I come
