    I always move to the right lane when i see a SuperTrucker speeding up behind me in the centre lane. Not because I have to (although you are right: you dont have to move over if doing the speed limit) but because I prefer him to pass me on the left of me where I can see the guy. I also have some wiggle room with the shoulder should he get really out of hand. But the main reason why I move over is for respect. I moved over for that Werner "driver" because he was just a little (0.5MPH) faster than me going up the hills. I also do it for the Karma for when I'm bombing down a highway in the U.S. that has 2" of snow on her. I hate when everyone slows to 30 MPH over 2". lol try that s### in Canada lol- you'll be left behind ;)

    Then again how do you know werner was not doing the speed limit? As in many areas truck speed limits and 4 wheeler limits are diferent, could this be the case? Guess since neither of us were there we really dont know.

    That may be true, but some truck speeds are only 60.

    This was taped in GA don't think that piticular hwy had 60 mph trk speed.But none the less that's no reason to tie up the middle lane.There were probably signs every few miles,slower traffic keep right.

    Well we can all beat this dead horse, as we all have our own opinions. Since I wont change mine, and you possibly wont see it my way. I suppose this my cue to move on and allow you to believe what you wish and I shall do the same. Therefore, shall we agree to disagree?
