Why Do You Exceed The Speed Limit?

@scottied67 I think you are letting this get to you way to much. Drivers are going to drive the way they want regardless of anything anyone does. Just keep trucking and let it go and if they tell you are number 1 as they pass, just smile and wave.

As far a truck going half a mph faster than me, if there is no traffic then he was to work for it. Half a mph isn't making any difference in your ETA. If there is traffic behind them and he jumps on to pass for some ungodly reason, then I will back down to 60mph. If they still can't pass me at 60 then they are the problem not me. How slow does one have to go to help (to use @scottied67's term) the princess driver? 55? 50? Pull over and stop?

It's even worse going uphill because I am not giving up my momentum to allow a pass. You should know your truck well enough to know weather or not you can complete the uphill pass.

 

Why speed? I don't want to appear suspicious.

The cop thought it was suspicious he was at exactly the speed limit. Ended up searching his car and found millions worth of cocaine. It went to our Supreme Court. The drug charges were thrown out due to illegal search but he didn't get his drugs back.

 

Agreed. Everyone has sped at some point in their driving life. Intentional or not.

 

I recommend you never ever go over limit speed downgrade.

It is one thing to be doing stunting to hammer in lessons of Issac Newton by the Moonbeam in West By God VA quite another when you are coming off Cajun and everything at the bottom is stopped.

 

They have finally done that. Anything facing the net and is driven by a face recognizing program is now fast enough to know who stole toiletpapers in Singapore.

 

I've passed trucks in the gorge, some of them drive 35 to 40 mph and it has to be done.

 

@scottied67 , are you butt-hurt that your truck is governed, and think because you're stuck at 66 mph, that we all should be?

If it's that bad for you, being passed all day long, and so many close calls you seem to record, maybe this is not a career for you.

 

And no wonder social skills went down by the way side. How are you going to attract any honey with that vile mixure of attitude?
