Do You Ride In The Middle Lane?

Wheel holders in the middle lane is a pet peeve of mine. If you know your truck can't do 70 the don;t get in the middle lane in a 70 mph zone, especially when the other lanes are wide open.

 

that is and has been my point.i understand it when highly congested but when not,move over-

 

Yeah, when it is congested doesn't really matter. Just seems like there are few truck drivers anymore, mostly wheel holders that are either afraid to change lanes or are happy to get in your way just because they can.

 

Drive in the city everyday, all day, and you'll avoid the right lane. Far too many texting, on the phone, reading, eating, shaving, make up applying, breast feeding, tablet reading idiots who don't understand how to merge with the speed of traffic. So if you want to speed up, slow down your rig every 1/2 mile, please do, I'll ride along in the middle lane doing the speed limit, and I'll get to my next stop with far less headaches.

 

If you're such a hotshot driver why do I need to "help" you pass me? Go left, go right, go over or under just shut up and do it already ya cry baby.

I can only take a few incidents of four wheelers cutting me off when they merge. Then I move left and stay there. I go slow since no one else went on strike with me to get fuel prices lowered. Blame yourself.

When I'm in a hurry I just twitch my big right toe and make my pass and show 'em how it's done; without opening my mouth.

 

I stay in the right lane mostly because it's generally the faster lane when things start backing up. Every truck and four wheeler tries to get left constantly and it just helps me out. If there's an interchange between two interstates I'll get over, but that's usually about it.

I never understood why everyone makes a big deal about merging traffic. It's pretty easy to deal with.

 

cuz people dont know HOW to merge...no one wants to give an inch...and if we give an inch, then the next 30 cars think we are letting them in 2.....

 

yup, I ignore it, they can obey the on ramp sign that says YEILD, if they don't..well there is always the ditch.

 

It would seem that TTR needs a forum to help improve reading comprehension...

 

if they did that, how many us would there be left.. ... cuz obviously it seems to be a HUGE problem here...but of course you know Hammer.....WE dont know anything....the newbies now it all...and tell us so each day.....

ok my post doesnt make sense....blame the drugs i am on.......(prescribed people, calm down).....

what i meant was, if they got rid of the ones that needed improvement....
