    That’s what they’re trying to force you to do. #### the truck down. Do 20mph on the freeway. Create a big jam up. Yup... I is stupid.

    I like to let traffic flow passed me. A truck in the middle lane cause cars to bunch up around them like those little fish swimming with a shark. Nobody in there right mind should think that is a safe way to roll dow the road.

    If its a section of road with a lot of on ramps and I can keep up, I’ll ride the middle lane so I am not an obstacle to the drivers merging into the right lane.

    That's usually where there are 3 or more lanes.

    I have no problem running them into a ditch. Happens at least once a week.

    That's not the law though. How many years have you been driving?

    Try using your own expert driving advice while driving I-495 around DC at 15:00 on a Friday. Your piddly nonsense “advice” wont get you very far.
    I’m out there avoiding collisions and your counting the minivans you put in a ditch.
