    Seems to me that does little more than simply move the location of the bottleneck.

    I liked what the numbskull in the red truck did. God forbid they merge behind you. We certainly wouldn't want anyone to have to suffer the indignity of having to be behind a truck. :rolleyes:

    But the buttons are plainly marked. Besides, if you don't quote anyone, the insert quotes button doesn't even show up.

    My thoughts are pretty simple here. If you are doing something that is likely to lead to a road rage incident, you are not doing something very bright.

    Wasn't me doing it. on i35 heading from thackerville 2 okc there are several spots down to 1 lane and it is really a pain depending when you go through. 2 drivers this weekend were blocking the lane roughly 2 miles in advance. As stated didn't really effect speed of open lane at all. The main thing that made me think back of this was the road rage I saw from vehicles as 2 this fact. Cutting off other cars. Going through the grassy median and even through the cones at the end. It was really 1 of those wtf is going on with every aspect of the situation. Just wanted 2 stir the pot and see who was like minded vs pro blocking

    pro-blocking = impeding traffic = illegal.

    Leave the pro blocking to the football players. Pro drivers are far more interested in safety, than they are in playing dumb games with four wheelers.
