    Trucks use right two lanes... the sign does not say trucks use middle lane. Its safer for a truck that does not run the speed limit, to stay in the right lane whenever possible not to cause congestion. Just because one jerkwad wouldnt let you over one time, doesnt mean everyone is a jerkwad, be courteous when you can.

    Not really. But since I got myself a dashcam I find myself less aggravated. Listen, I go with the traffic flow. If everyone is speeding around me I usually go over the speed limit no more than 3 mph. But even then I make sure there is enough distance between me and the vehicle in front of me.

    Im just saying when its a 3 lane or even a 2 lane in the middle of nowhere then there is no reason to be riding in the left lane or middle lane.

    If everyone is speeding around you, why would you not just grab the right lane when possible? And let them go by quicker and easier? I think we all know why you dont.

    I already explained why. Read all the posts above.
    PS. Speed limits and signs are posted for a reason.
