    half these posters can't even do the speed limit ,if it's over 65.

    I will and do move if someone is coming up behind me.

    I usually have the cruise set at about 73.

    being polite on the road used to be the norm.

    When they harmonized the entry of vehicles on limited access roads laws will this become relevant.

    I try not to pass until traffic has cleared, but I refuse to stay behind a guy just because he speeds up as I start to pass him. So the speed isn't that relevant, the law (sign is black and white) does say "Left Lane For Passing" and "Slower Traffic Keep Right". When I complete my pass, I will get back over to the right, until then suck it up buttercup.
     
    truckon and Ghost Ryder Thank this.

    if im in the right and come upon a vehicle slower than me, I WILL go around at the first opportunity.

    im truly sorry, but that's just what will happen.

    we all deal with other drivers (cdl and others) all day every day. cant handle it? work elsewhere.
     
    Ghost Ryder and Bayle Thank this.

    That is an excellent example of courtesy. I try to follow those very guidelines.

    I think the more interesting question is where this attitude of garbage haulers came from that being passed is just the worst thing on Earth.

    so IN OTHER WORDS you're only professional when you're being passed. If you're making a pass and a faster truck comes along you're no longer professional?

    BS.
