Do you pass trucks governed 1mph less than you?

Sometimes the laws and common sense have nothing to do with one another.

 

lol in the club....im also not overweight or have a look on my face like im going to kill someone so i guess that excludes me from the club as well.

 

Yeah Im pretty fit myself and I don't look like a swift driver... you got to be careful some of these guys out there will shank you so be nice to them when you see them at a truck stop

 

That minivan driver had to swerve to be able to nail that truck tire. I'd give that maneuver a 10.

 

the worst part is where the 4wheeler takes to the shoulder and calls the 800 number on the trailer and claims they were run off the road.

 

I don't always pass trucks going 1mph slower than me, but when I do, I always break check them too.

 

Yesterday we had some guy try to pass us with an empty flatbed while we're loaded going slightly downhill at 63 mph. We're governed at 61, so the only thing different we can do is to slow down. He gets about 1/3 the way past us and all of the sudden starts slowing down and cranking on his air horn and yelling into his CB (we don't have one) and flipping us off. It's not like we were speeding up on purpose so he couldn't pass us. Ironic thing is that we got on level ground and he flew past us as if he wasn't governed, dramatically swinging his trailer in front of us like a baby throwing a tantrum. I'm ok with coasting to slow down to let somebody pass, but should I really have to activate my jakes or brakes for someone if there's no merging ahead or traffic being backed up behind us?

 

If the other driver had plenty in reserve to pass, yet you apparently forced him to go above and beyond his cruise control setting when there is no traffic delayed...

... that's all on the drama queen.
