    You're climbing a hill, you're heavy and you're slow. The guy ahead is a bit slower. You're dong about a third of the speed limit. Do you go for it?

    That's a pretty big if at 20mph when the 4's are doing 65-70. In this case he could see me coming up but the two 4 wheelers and the fedex weren't visible to him when he hit the hammer lane.

    But I agree, if you can do it without holding up traffic. Otherwise you have no business in the hammer lane at that speed.

    Them chip and log trucks are weighing in a 130k+ and should be thinking before they pull out like that IMO. The one that was a bit faster probably does have a big 'ol kitty cat.
