What is the purpose of the driver you are passing switching to the other lane?

    I have asked this before, and people have told me that I must have not been on the road that long. That I did not give him enough space when I passed. Well it’s only happened a handful of times and I have been out here over a year now. I passed a guy had my blinker on got back in his lane I look back and he is switching to the other lane so I went to get back in his lane and he switched to the right lane and so on.

    You can call it what you want but this year just seems like bad sportsmanship. It’s pathetic behavior in my eyes .


    Once again is there any actual reason for doing this? Or are drivers just sour due to being passed while in a low governed truck.

    Ive had drivers do it then blow my doors off must hurt their pride being passed by a 65mph outlaw. My guess is they let their speed creep down unknowingly to them and when they get passed they realize something anit right. Another reason this time of year could be for road spray.

    I will do that if after the pass you don't continue accelerating, building space between the trucks.
    It sets off my nanny systems and camera.
    Too many times it seems as if a big truck is being intimidated by a following vehicle and pulls back over with barely 30 feet of clearance and if something happens I have no course of action.
    Give that vehicle you are passing some cushion and it will most likely end that practice.

    I DO that when YOU cut me short and no one is in other lane. I refuse to tail gate someone . If you switch back in front of me I send video to law enforcement .

    That's probably it; guy switched lanes because he thinks you cut back in too soon. A little temper thrown in also.

    Please wait to pull in front of me until you have at least a truck length between us as long as you do not have an emergency vehicle driving code 3 behind ya.

    to show him I can be a dick as well. It’s uncalled for to switch lanes because his ##### hurts
