    If you can't pass safely in a reasonable time/distance and you do you're an idiot. If an idiot is trying to pass me I slow and let them by as I don't want to drive near an idiot. All seems pretty common sense to me.

    I find it funny when another truck goes to pass me and then they match my 60mph speed with mo traffic ahead if them. when they are even with me trying to make look like the ###. I don't slow down cause there ain't no reason they can't continue the pass.

    There's also the trailer whip dummies that will try that #### on my cause I'm going m 60mph. I don't swerve for that either. Go ahead and side swipe me. I got your ### on camera.

    That’s just rude. If somebody tries to pass and cannot, you should always be the bigger man and drop your speed. :)

    I;m doing a trip tomorrow so if all you other drivers will just stay parked till i'm done I would appreciate it.
    If I'm doing 65 and you pullout to pass at 66 and Islow to 64 now all the guys doing 65 want to pass I sloww to 63 the guys doing 64 want to pass.etc etc.
    I have come to the conclusion that whatever I do it will be wrong. LOL at the entitled people. If you can pass go for it but if you can;t well not my problem.SORRY
     
    IluvCATS Thanks this.
