    Thats just it I am not holding up traffic. All Billy Big Rig is going to do with his 16 lane changes is get 100 yards ahead of me to the next traffic back up. Sometimes its best to just go with the flow.

    You will be on the side soon getting an award for driving in the left lane at the wrong time. I used to have your same attitude about driving, a few years of doing it the wrong way and fighting with a few municipalities about it changed my way of doing things.You will lose this battle may not be today but all that foolish look at me in the wrong lane crap will catch up with you.

    That was just a joke rob. The way I look at it, if your atleast doing the speed limit, i don't get to excited. Its when people want to run the center lane and go 10 under, that gets to me real quick.

    Good. I'll take all the video I have of everyone running 10-30mph over the speed limit all day long and show the judge. I'd like to see what he thinks of the cops doing absolutely nothing about it. And yes, they do it right in front of the cops and I have that on video.

    The judge will probably tell you they are safer cause they are running with the traffic and not being an obsticle.

    In your mind set, it appears you think that if you are in front nothing can get you...so the faster you go the quicker you will lead the pack. Have you considered the aftermath you might cause and leave behind you...but it is behind you so it doesn't concern you right? You are a part of the reason that the HOS rules were put to a change...that's right the HOS rules...to try and get the dangerous, aggressive drivers, and the ones that run illegal in many aspects, off the road.

    Very easy to answer...your "style" of driving reflects on me and all other truckers. We all get blamed or grouped with your traits and bad, aggressive habits.

    In your own way, perhaps you are helping it along, by showing (and bragging) some new youngster that the aggressive behavior can be done and little hindrance will be found. By this means you are "teaching" others that this behavior is acceptable...when in fact it isn't!

    Two (or more) wrongs make it right? Nope that is actually three lefts make a right!
