    If I am driving down the road in the middle lane or one of the middle lanes in my 62 mph truck and you don't like it - too bad to sad.. go around me and keep your obnoxious and rude opinions to yourself. If I am impedding traffic I will move over, if I am not, I will stay where I am to avoid having to constantly break for those pesky 4-wheelers.

    All your yelling and screaming is going to do is make your heart rate go up and your blood pressure to elevate.. plus you shouldn't be doing 75 in that 65 zone anyway..

    Do have a blessed day now...

    Why consider moving for 4 wheelers but not trucks? I'm sorry if your truck cannot do speed limit, but why should you get to control my speed?

    How is a truck a roadhazard at 62 in a 65? This is not a topic about split speeds, but a lane issue. I too drive my 61mph truck in the middle or 2nd lane when available and not holding anyone back. Now, if the speed limit is 60 or less, I definetly am not doing anything wrong. If you want to break the law, than get in fast lane and pass...

    Since pesky 4 wheelers are in and out of granny lane, you are graciously allowing me one lane to attempt to get around you. I may be doing 68 or 70 or 75 and now have to slow to your speed and then accelerate to try and get around you; with pesky 4 wheelers now passing me at least 10 miles per hour faster than me, your forcing me to your speed and wasting my fuel, now get out of the way.

    Actually where this happened the speed limit was 65 and it just went from 3 lanes to 5 I moved over to the lane next to the granny lane. I'll not repeat was was said on the CB..

    Again if I am a hazard then I am impeeding traffic and I will move over; however i'd rather not deal with a 4 wheeler who thinks it is wise to race me to end of the ramp forcing me to hit my brake to avoiding them and the tail gater behind me..

    Do the speed limit or move! Its that simple....

    If the speed limit is 65 and you're doing 61, you a hazard. Plain and simple. You should atleast have the common courtesy to move out of the way of those able to do the post limit.

    I don't really see the problem unless trucks are restricted to the 2 right lanes.

    And Thank You for have the common sense and courtesy to move over for others!:biggrin_25514:
