Day 5, 3/04/08: Mis amigos

To be accurate, i had experienced already in France a taste of the behaviour of some spanish truck drivers, giving me light signals meaning that i should go faster. But honestly, although i was expecting more bad behaviour, in the road between Lerida and Saragoza it reached its peak.
Sure, it was not an highway but the road was in good conditions. But it was up and down, so my poor Maluch sometimes was just trying to survive the hills.
This would be ok, if this wasnt a heavy traffic road for trucks between Barcelona and the Northwest of Spain and with very few areas to overtake. To cut short, i was thrown out of the road by spanish trucks about 5 times. Meaning, if i hadnt went on the right side and brake, they would have hitted me (on purpose). Sadly, i could not identify any of the drivers. Although, i believe these guys that drove trucks resembled something like this:
Note: Dont do this road: Lerida-Saragoza. Way too dangerous.
