im curious does it make someone an ####### for passing someone at the same speeds or by 1 mph? You all know it your rolling along and someone slows down around turns up hills for no reason. You try pass em it takes 5 minutes lol. #### truckers and campers always wanna slow down for whatever reason I drive with pedal to medal I don’t slow down unless going uphill with a heavy load and then I usually stay slow so ppl can pass but some ppl don’t know how to drive through mountains then when u go to pass they wanna speed up and make it harder. Am I the ####### for passing or are they? Same thing with 1 mph faster or even less shouldn’t the person in the right slow down a bit to let you pass? I do cuz I know it’s annoying when someone is taking forever to pass but those cr England ####ers always wanna try and beat you. Idk opinions on this matter?
Passing at slow speeds etiquette?

If you can't keep a consistent speed and won't let others pass you, you're an #######. I tend not to get too mad solely at the passing driver . . . just my opinion

I always get fed x trying to pass me. They at .5 mph faster than me. I will not slow down for them. Takes them 20 miles or more to pass.

You can't let off the gas for 5 and half seconds to let someone around, then get back to your 65 MPH? Your not going to get where your going any faster by keeping said truck on the side of you for 6 miles. Just cause a backup.

It depends on how much traffic is affected behind us. If a lot of cars or other trucks fill in behind me, I'll slow down and let the other guy go ahead.
Or if I'm the guy trying to pass and it's just not happening becase of the hills, I'll back off from the attempted pass if it's backing up traffic while I have my turn signal on indicated what my intention is.
If there isn't much traffic behind, I'll see if I can pass over 20 minutes lol.Bean Jr. and Suspect Zero Thank this. -
I’ve had people driving with their egos.
I start passing. They speed up and sit next to me on the inside lane. Then I look bad. If I give up passing. They slow down 5mph. -
