    Hmmmmmm --------
    Whether or not that reason had any influence on the decision, it's quite possible/probable that the rule had influence on the outcome.
    Good point Jabber.
    Of course, it's also possible that the main concern for interfering with other people's lives is for the good of their health.

    Being hung out to dry like that stinks. If I can not pass it a minute or two, I will turn on my right turn signal then lift. May make the truck behind mad , but I am trying to get out of your way ! Be mad at the mass hole on my right. He had to speed up , if not how did I get beside him.

    This is exactly my dilemma now - is it my perception of it or a reality . . . ?

    Some days I feel it is my duty to remind drivers that they are going too slow as I pass them in my 62 mph truck. Because as soon as I get along side them, they must have remembered that they wanted to go faster.

    I got stuck behind a sod that fell asleep...... Even with repeated banging on the door he didn't answer. The station thought maybe he was dead and called the sheriff..... After breaking in the driver said he was on his "10 hour break" and would be fired if he moved the truck..... Sheesh.

    Sorry. I few times I have spaced out didn't realize I was going slow until you went to pass me. I would kick it down to more than clear you. That if some one isn't on my bumper. I have been getting better. If I see that you're going to get hung out there, I will slow down more and let you have it and take it back on your left. Sometimes, I am even behind you in the left lane before you can get to the right lane.
