[QUOTE="Chinatown, post: 5431601, member: 70690"]The problem is, you slow down so another slow truck can pass you, then once he's in front of you, he slows down and now you're tailgating him. Why? Because the reason he was on your tail is because he had no wind resistance, then he pulls out to pass you and now he can't unless you slow down, because he now has wind resistance. Once he's in front of you, you're now tailgating him because he slowed down due to wind resistance and you sped up because of no wind resistance. This happens when 2 trucks are governed within 1 or 2 mph of each other are playing tag on the interstate. Even I can figure this out and I purchased my fake high school diploma off the internet.[/QUOTE]
