Please define "too slow".
54 in a 55?
60 in a 60?
65 in a 60?
No matter what speed I drive, there will always be people that think I'm "holding them up". -
If I'm on a two lane, and I see someone behind me who might want to pass, I'll hit the turn signal to let them know it's ok and slow down so they can get it done quick and safe.
Night Prowler, Bob Dobalina, scottlav46 and 4 others Thank this. -
And then pull back on and hold up the next line of traffic?
Fortunately I don't run two lanes where I can't do at least 5 over the posted limit. Personally I leave lots of room ahead and ride the fog line. Makes it easy for the 4 wheelers to get by. As for big trucks in a hurry I'll try and get them on the CB but more don't have it on. I do my best to make it easy for others to get by but even if I were slower I don't see pulling off every ten minutes as a realistic option.
Suck it up and get by when you can.Ssand Man, scottlav46, Tonythetruckerdude and 5 others Thank this. -
Entitlement dude. It's not just for the elite anymore. Any sally can come in and get a cdl now and terrorize everyone else.
Buncha touristsscottlav46 and joseph1135 Thank this. -
Said nothing about too slow. I said if you see them and they'd like to pass you.truckon Thanks this.

I run two lane out west a lot. It is less miles on the two lane highways then going all the way to an interstate.

what if they're in training.. we're not suppose to make any waves.. the trainee and trainer expect other drivers to understand...
I get that too regardless of why they're rolling in slow moe.seems courtesy only counts if a officer is present with some -
Not sure what the speed limit is where you were talking about but the dude riding the center line and speeding up on you is a prick.
Just saying, not matter your speed there's always someone wanting to go faster and pulling off every time you get a line behind you isn't realistic.Tonythetruckerdude Thanks this. -
My bad . I assumed "holding up" to mean "too slow".
