    I had some idiot in a trailways bus screwing with me in eastern Iowa last nite .
    Had my Cruz set at 67 and he'd pass my and slow down to 60 or so ..after about the 3rd time he passed me again I expressed my displeasure with his driving on the radio ...don't know if he heard me or not but I never saw him again .

    I used to be that guy who avoided the drifters. There was a time when drifting was mostly due to normal road issues. Now, it's 99.9 percent of the time some ####tard on his phone or ELD. I no longer try to avoid them swerving into me anymore. I need a paint job and they need more preventables so they'll be forced out of the industry from extremely high overhead/insurance costs.

    Right and maybe you'll live to take it to court and really show them who's right. I simply don't have the time or motivation to deal with minor or major crashes, and if there's any little thing I can do to avoid them, I'm doing it. It's generally not all that much trouble and I live to play another day, mostly stress free.

    When I drove a 65 mph truck and some jackwagon was passing me at 66 mph, I'd just back off the cruise a bit and let em get on by. Simple.

    I wonder how quick your lease would get cancelled if your fleece company safety department sees any of your videos? I bet it would be immediately
