  1. The idiot driving entirely too slow for conditions who won't hit the wide spot.

  2. The jabronis who space out behind that idiot and make impossible to pass

  3. The i'M bElOw ThE sPeEd LiMiT fool in the middle of the line with the flashers going

  4. The smarmy safe drivers who are gonna flood this thread scolding us as unsafe

  5. All of the above

    Let's add "I was going 20 mph below, but you're passing me so its obviously safe to speed up, so I'm going to match your speed and not let you get out of the hammer lane and back onto dry payvement".

    And the "I'm going slow to be safe, but sitting 2 seconds behind the guy in front of me, leaving me no time to react.

    I just came down Homestake on high to see if I got any feedback. It's covered, but nothin bad.

    Guy got on the radio askin if I was going so slow because it was slick.

    "No, it's not slick, but it's still F'n steep"

    Actually hotshot (flashers) and an empty flatbed. Same ol story, Cerro & Blue were a tad greasy, but it turned dusty once we dropped down along the reservoir. I'm sure front door must have slipped and got scared and lost his ability to judge the road.

    At least he had a radio. Once upon a time when everybody ran them, you had to sort the wheat from the chaf, but at least you had a chance of knowing when everyone was balled up in front of you before you got there.
