It’s hard to fathom how this runway got the approval for construction, as it seems extremely hazardous. This runway is at Gibraltar International Airport, where cars have to stop at a traffic light to allow planes to land safely.

As a female truck driver, I’ve come across plenty of cocky guys who think they’re tougher than everyone else. But this particular incident left a lasting impression. Two bikers were standing near the gas pumps, making a scene as they ridiculed a large trucker nearby. They laughed loudly, tossing out cruel jokes about his weight and his truck. “Maybe switch to a bicycle instead of hauling burgers,” one of them jeered.
