    ...says electronic sign. The question is, how slow should you actually go? Watch this video, guys. Interstate 80 in Wyoming between Cheyenne and Laramie.

    IMHO...the driver? ( the one making the video ) ....that term is used loosely too , is an accident just looking for a place to happen.....It's just an opinion though. Not wanting to start an argument...I would've kept my place in line and not passed that group. I'm using the view if you don't push a bad situation then you'll more than likely not be involved in an accident. Slow down and enjoy the scenery. Passing 12 vehicles , running up behind another....if 1 , just 1 of those folks had lost control.....someone would have been hurt or maybe even killed....

    Speechless, the video speaks for itself.

    Agreed, accident waiting to happen. Hope he doesn't take anyone out in the process.

    Holy guacamole what a numbskull. (Until I crash, I'm operating safely. If I wasn't, obviously I would crash. If I crash, it was the fault of the conditions, nothing I could have done would have prevented it.)

    Yep clearly someone who hasn't been properly humbled by those kinds of conditions. He keeps that up he will be that's for sure. Let's just hope he doesn't take anyone else with him when it happens. A perfect instructional video on what NOT to do.

    1. The truck is going too fast for conditions? Yes.
    2. The black car in front of the truck slows down for no apparent reason? Hmmm...
    3. The Fedex truck is going too slow? Maybe...time to park?

    Would I have passed the others? If loaded... Would I have been going 30mph faster than them while riding the zipper? Absolutely not.
