On three different occasions tonight I am seeing truckers cruising in the hammer lane below the speed limit and refuse to get into the right lane. I understand some parts of the country where segments of the right lane have massive pot holes or even worse filled pot holes that make your truck go airborne, or cities where oncoming traffic is always merging, but I had to pass three trucks from the right lane tonight. I see them in the distance all alone doing 65 MPH in a 70, I flash my lights at them and they remain in the hammer lane, so then I zoom past them on the right lane while they still remain there cruising like a four wheeler. I guess this is the new thing from the "only care about me" society. I wish law enforcement would do something about this and people who cruise beside you with their brights on.
I'm seeing a new negative trend being born with truckers

Another reason I enjoy having a ungoverned truck. Passing them on the right doing 80 typically wakes them upTripleSix, Intothesunset, Woodchuck88 and 16 others Thank this. -

You haven’t been driving a long time, not paying attention, had a slow truck and couldn’t pass, etc. The stupidity and selfishness you speak of has been going on for years. It has only gotten worse.
To me it is mind blowing to see a bear (or a DOT man for that matter) to pass on the right and keep on going. In GA more than once btwTripleSix, 86scotty, snowman_w900 and 9 others Thank this. -

I could have prefaced my comment with the word: apparently. As I said, this has been going on for a long time. Only getting worse.
You may have a sunnier outlook on things than I do, therefore taking longer to be bothered by something. Left lane hogs have annoyed me for a long time.Itsbrokeagain, 12 ga, D.Tibbitt and 3 others Thank this. -
