[rant] I was cranking down Irvine Center Drive to work this morning when I almost wrecked because of dirt haulers flying down the road. Not one, not two, but five in a row. Between the sand and road crap being kicked up and the dirt and sand coming our of the trucks, I had to turn my head to even see or breathe.
Irvine Center Drive is not the cleanest stretch of road due to the fields, butbthe construction traffic has made it worse. I also thought those trucks were required to cover their loads.
I have an email out to the city of Irvine with my grievence, mainly because all of the road junk ends up on or near the bike lane, which affects me and other cyclists in a potentially hazardous way.
