    Its actually dangerous in the middle lane doing between 55 and 60.Some ppl go above the speed limit in the hammer lane.ould be some horrific consequenses if someone doing 75 hit a 60 mph vehicle.I always stay in the granny lane no matter what the trk is governed at unless im passing someone.

    Like you said there are 3 lanes of travel, but I fail to see where any of them are officially designated anything other then a lane. The left lane is off limits to trucks, although traffic (Trucks) doing the speed limit can drive in any other lane. "Slow traffic keep right", is just that SLOW. If you are doing the speed limit you are not going slow. Werner was within his right to be in the middle lane as long as he was doing the speed limit, that would the truck speed limit .

    Yr right. But If I were Werner, I would have changed lanes for the 5 seconds it would've taken for that super steering wheel holder to pass

    You may be right, but if he is doing the speed limit why should he. That is a personal decision. The super trucker needs to cool his jets until he is clear to pass. I dont have all the answers I just have to live it as I see it. Oh, yeah if that offends someone so be it. When I was trained a long time ago I was told the middle lane was best as it keeps you away from the 4 wheelers entering and leaving the freeway. Over the years I have decided that it workd for me. But, everyone must do whatever they think is right.

    Everybody was passing Werner like he was sitting still so how do you know he was doing the speed limit?No reason why he can't stay in the right lane.

    I bet you a million dollars this guy has done this before. He is the same guy, who will tail gate 4 wheelers. You have people on here trying to justify the middle lane. 3 freakin lanes and the guy thinks he owns the middle lane.
     
    TruckMafk Thanks this.

    Right lane is for slow moving traffic,why anger the impatient drivers by staying in the middle lane especially when someone is behind you.Just get over and let him pass.
     
    NHL_fan, Mr Ed, icepick and 1 other person Thank this.

    I'm not justifying anything simply saying be one of those respectful drivers and stay in the granny lane if you can't keep up with the faster traffic.
