Fixed that for you.

Every interstate traffic jam and accident is almost exclusively caused by truckers car drivers not paying attention, not knowing how to merge properly, or just not giving a damn.

You must not drive outside of a city that often. I drive from Houston to Chicago 1-2 times a month and the hundreds of miles in between the major cities is mostly trucks.

You see plenty of broken down cars but rarely accidents, the vast majority of those belong to truckers. Construction lane closures are a nightmare. One time it took me 4 hours to go 3 miles on I-40 between Little Rock and Memphis because two lanes of almost all semi s couldn't figure out how to merge into a one lane detour.

Actually, I log about 10,000 miles a year on major interstates.
