    No it isn't. Once you realize you can't pass why don't YOU tap your brakes and get behind? That's what a reasonable person would do. I mean you did create the situation and now you want the other guy to tap his brakes?

    You blocked the left lane by not doing the speed limit because someone else doesn't know how to legally merge? Yeah, real common stuff. You're part of the problem.

    No you didn't. We all here can smell truck stop counter bs. Just most are nice enough to not call one on it.

    No it's not. You're making your slow truck everyone's problem. You're supposed to drop back. Or are you more important than the other slow truck?

    You're behavior outlined in your posts is classic aggressive driving.

    Some stooge in a 900 with a flatbed would have hit me head on at speed on US54 in Kansas cause he couldn't get around a guy.
    Fortunately there was emergency lane on that stretch, and I took it at about 60, or I'd been in the weeds.
    Dudes were coming around a curve no less.
    Just more stooges we don't need.

    I would have called safety on you and reported an aggressive driver.

    Because even though his truck is governed at 75, he's butt hurt because it is governed.
    We had a guy do a self imposed govern of 72, because he was burning through a set of drives in under a year.
     
    Bakerman and Woodchuck88 Thank this.
