Passing

Yesterday, I swear they were doing it on purpose. I would be in the hammer lane with noone in front of me. There would be 2 truck in the right lane running close to each other. I am running 70. They had alot of time to pass, but would wait until I got close, THEN the trailing truck would pull out to pass the other truck and the turtle race begins. Now I am down to 65-66 until its over. Three of the times this happened, there was plenty of opportunity to amke this pass before I got there and there was noone behind me so there is another opportunity. If they would have waited another 30-45 seconds, they could have easily fell in behind me instead of jacking me up. I just think that some of those drivers governed to 65 do this for kicks.

I understand when traffic is heavier, a driver has to take whatever they can get. I understand that. I might be running faster than, but you wanna run faster than the driver infront of you. Come on over, I will happily ride behind you till you get past him. But yesterday, the traffic was really light. You have been right behind that truck for awhile, I see you as I am closing on you. I am going to pass the 2 of you in very short order and you choose to pass that other truck just as I get there, and jack me up??? I would have been by you pretty quick. Just the way it happened, I know it had to be on purpose. Is this the way it on Saturday afternoons? I am normally a M-F driver. Not you starboyjim. Those 3 ###### drivers that jack me up for no good reason yesterday.


When I am passing, I will turn on my blinker BEFORE I am clear. This is to let the cars behind me know that I intend to move back over as soon as I am clear. I hate those ####### that try to pass on the right just as soon as there is enough room for the car to fit through.

 

I'm sorry, I don't have a long story to share. But turtles are really cool.

 

a turtle race?




and this guy?

what a lazy, well you finish the rest!

 

That first one must be an Schneider turtle... Kinda has that "look."

 

LOL, I wasn't even thinking about "orange"!

 

But I do have a family of Schneider here for you!

Awe come on man! No, that's pumpkin poop!

 

LMAO!!!! Little Schneider turds!.....

 

LOL, well I beg to differ with you. Many years ago, some drivers, yes, including me, driving thru a construction zone, would say on the cb, "how many Schneider families can we destroy this time"?

That's ALL I CAN SAY, any "old timer here" may also remember those Schneider destroying days!

One other thing we would also say is, "yep, it's spring time, all the little Schneider babies are out for thier first time"!

 

Trucks with DRL also have a switch to momentarily interrupt the headlights. Apparently you need to read through your owner's manual to find yours.
