    Seriously... I was thinking about this movie just a couple of days ago.

    Some good reading here: Duel (1971 film) - Wikipedia

    That's an annoying amount of micromanagement. I'd rather my employer just trust me to get good fuel economy, but still get the load there on time.

    Bad idea. Law of unintended consequences applies. Then all the jack wads would pass you and slow back down to 65. Sometimes you just have to follow

    The better person would have been smart enough to know he shouldn't try to have passed a truck he couldn't get by in a timely manner. The only exception to this that i can imagine is of a truck moved to the left lane to allow another truck to merge on to the interstate. In that case the truck merging onto the interstate has the responsibility to not block the one that let him in out in the left lane.
