Was I wrong or.....

I drive a 65MPH wiggler, I keep the passing to a minimum but allow situational awareness to control where I'm riding. The path of least resistance works great, as does courtesy for others. Some do not feel the same and show their displeasure via gestures and comments on the radio....those individuals act mighty when they can't be held responsible, but if they were in front of you they wouldn't say anything!

 

Like the other poster said, every situation is different and personally I make the call on whether or not I am paying for the fuel! As a company driver if you are governed at 65mph, just back it down and give the other truck enough distance to pull away and to not have to "leap frog".

My truck is not governed and I often back it down to 65mph just to avoid the hassle of traffic. If you are running 70-75mph and that's the posted speed you are just going to be surrounded by four wheelers constantly weaving in and out of each other and doing dumb crap! Give it a try! I guarantee your drive will be 100% less stressful and you won't arrive at your destination any later then you would have running 75mph. Let everyone pass you and enjoy the ride!

 

Being a Swifty most drivers won't slow down even 1 MPH to let me pass when I am just that little bit faster.
Sometimes they actually increase their speed to either match my speed or to simply block my pass and make me fall in behind them again.
Childish.

It is so irritating to me that I will always back of a few if someone is creeping by me. I only lose a few seconds by doing so, and it is safer not to have another big rig beside me for too long.

 

my new truck is a 65 mph truck, the nice thing like chompi said is you lower your stress level , but think of all the cars passing you and all the seat covers you get to check out....lol.... Find the bright side in anything and you will enjoy your day.....
