    I 90 middle of winter in Montana.

    DudeA gets in the left lane after a fresh salt. In the process he's going to completely blind the guy he just passed while he is in the left lane.

    Does this have an official name?
    What's the local lingo.

    I've always wondered.

    I was usually the one doing the dusting.
    As I just came out Indian land then some guy going 40 ended up in front of me.

    I called it dusting him.
    Always felt like an ### doing it to the guy cause I knew he couldn't see. Literally black out conditions.

    Passed quick.

    Just wanna know if the locals have a name for it.

    Depends on which way the wind is blowing, I guess. I've been cussed more than once, but there are very few times I'll run in a herd in winter weather.
