    Yes I realize my truck is slower than yours

    But is it really too much to ask that when I do the right thing by being courteous by getting in the hammer lane for you while you get up to speed that you return the favor and let me clear you and get back to in the right hand lane instead of blowing my doors off on my right side and leavng me hung out to dry in the hammer lane? That's my silly little rant for the da...thanks

    Sad when a truck is involved, but not unusual for a 4 wheeler. I have learned that when I move over to the hammer lane, I immediately put the right turn signal on to let them know I am moving back over.

    I was so going to start a thread about this exact thing just the other day. Its one of the things that i find the most inconsiderate. Exactly as you put it, "I did you the courtesy of moving over to let you merge(which by the way is a COURTESY not a right) and you dont have the decency to let me come back into the lane and maintain my speed without having to slow down or speed up for YOU" .Its one of the things that really piss me off as well.

    It only pisses me off when its a big truck. I dont expect anything less from a 4 wheeler.

    Not a silly rant at all. These jokers have got a point to prove...that they have a bigger motor than you. It's sad, isn't it? Same thing with fast trucks in the hammer lane. When you're passing, they will tailgate the crap out of you until you get back into the right lane. They are nothing more than a 4wheeler in a big truck.

    Then of course there is the big truck who matches my speed right as I get even with his door and now its a game of chicken of who is gonna let up first. They should give me a special turbo button that overridess the governor for 60 seconds in cases lik that...lol
