    How about the guy that enters the highway and immediately has to get over 3 lanes at 35 mile an hour, causing a cluster of brake checks, because we are all running 65+, when the acceleration lane continues on to allow that vehicle a chance to gain speed and merge

    Parking on the fuel islands, speeding in truck stop parking lots, and the side by side turtle races among slow trucks set me off....Don't even get me started on the clueless foreigners and their lack of professionalism..

    I have called in a Stevens, CRE, and I think it was a CRST for doing exactly this. Two were on 75 south headed toward Atlanta. They didn’t hog the middle lane for a mile or two. It was five or more. No reason for that type of ignorance.

    the NJ container haulers do that all day on 78 pulling the hill to Allentown, 3 wide doing 38 mph…..

    obviously the poll is a joke, but it seems like majority take being passed personally…

    Then the next batch behind wonder why it’s stop and go in a 65 zone
    but they continue to do the same exact thing which only contributes to the issue.

    The poll results as of right now say the majority who voted are more concerned about thier Puppy than being passed.

    Not long ago I had a western express driver hold the left on a two lane directly beside his partner in crime for just over 30 miles. He also took the No truck left lane going up the mountains and his partner took the middle with all the folks who couldn’t hold any speed clogging the far right no one was able to get by even then. Average speed for that 30 miles in a 65 zone was about 54 till traffic was finally able to get by when they exited the highway.
