    ps: And I wasn't governed in the Petercar, just not an a'h either. Life's more important than a pace race...... IMHO.

    The driver that passed you will discover his paycheck didn't change; same amount if he had stayed behind you until it was safe to pass.

    That’s what the issue is, his getting passed. He could have easily backed out but he was bound and determined to not be passed. Every thing he said about the other driver applies to him too.
    Juvenile behavior in action. It takes two to get tangled.

    You will notice. As time goes on.

    The D move is a new trucker favorite. It's getting to be more common these days.

    Not going to happen. The other point is, you allowed that situation to develop. Could have solved it in 45 seconds. Back off, let the fool go by.

    Yep, general consensus. Not what the O/P wanted to hear, methinks. :(

    i honestly was debating weather or not he was going to pass me. i was going plenty fast enough. his line of reasoning made no sense. maybe next time is should just back off, maybe next time he will think twice about his actions that put him in a bad spot.
     
    D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

    If the situation were reversed everything would stay the same.
