    Thanks for all of the mature responses to this never ending post. I just thought I would post it again. But we all know the true answer to this one. The way I see it is to just fuggettaboutit or Have a sheet of poster board saying "I just called 911, You are dragging a dead body behind you" That usually makes him decided to pull it emergency lane. Therefore Walla...Problem solved he is out our way and we are home free for a bit until we run up on his cousin.

    You have to hand it to the Internet Queens that post videos to show bad driving behavior of OTHER drivers, while demonstrating their own idiocy.

    In this example the driver in the right lane with the camera maintained just enough speed so the Werner driver couldn't get in the right lane without coming over less than a truck length in front of the Queen. Then he also blocked the driver that wanted to pass from making a pass in the right lane. He helped create the rolling road block by pacing the Werner driver and IMHO he IS the starring idiot in the video.

    If theres a trucker behind you move over. If you dont want to move over and be slowed down then speed up, he doesnt want to be slowed down either. If you dont want to speed up or can't then move over.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you are not alone on the road. In todays world that simple act of common courtesy may just keep you from being run off the road or getting shot at the next truck stop when Joe Bob sees you pulling in becaue you were driving in "his" lane slowing "him" down.

    Karma - when it kicks in it kicks in big time.
