    Don't worry about my family, they're not stupid enough to pass trucks on the right. Anybody that is takes their own lives in their hands & I won't weep at their funeral.

    The stupidity of others is not my responsibility and I refuse to take on that burden.

    Or they can baa merging onto the highway and one of the ton of cars passing on your right hits them, since you lack the 3rd grade reading comprehension skills to have got that from that post.

    Just answer, why do you HAVE TO be in that lane when you're not in any heavy merging situation? It's pure ####### stubbornness and that's all.

    Not my fault or responsibility.

    Face it, you can't guilt trip somebody that isn't doing anything wrong.

    On a road where it specifically says to keep right except to pass, yes, it's your problem and fault, because you being on the wrong lame caused that pass. You're not exempt from traffic laws just because you're in that truck.

    Still moving the goal posts, I see. Sorry, but you won't have any better luck this time, either. Let's review the OP, shall we?



    You know, I think I've seen a similar sentiment posted on Twitter from another driver.

    He's facing charges because he was king of the road. You might want to think about that unfortunate crash & reconsider your own attitude towards barreling recklessly down the highway.

    it is called courtesy, and you suck as a teacher if you are not teaching your students this. the left lane is mostly used for passing and for truckers that is the second lane in a lot of states.

    if it is rush hour or in a major city not much you can do, but on the open road stay right unless passing.

    He said that in his last sentence...."That being said I always try to teach my students to stay in the granny lane unless you are passing".

    In some states it is the law, stay right except to pass, you are obligated.
