    i dont get out of the slow lane unless its necessary. but then again...i just "love" it when a male driver will slow down in front of me just so ill pass so they can get a look, then speed back up again to keep doing it. really... come on.. im trying to get somewhere too...

    I guess that statement tells me a little bit about your attitude, so get over yourself and deal with it.

    I happen to to have to run in a governed truck...if someone tries to pass me i will let off and let them by.....i really hate it when i have a good run going and i go to pass a truck that is slower and all of a sudden he decides to speed up a little and keep me along side of him...i then will be the man and let the idiot go ahead of me and i will get back into the right lane...and half the time the idiot slows down again....i do my best not to hold up the faster trucks...one day i will be able to get off the porch and play with the big trucks...lol.....and the race will be on...lol

    Oh, don't worry, if Public Citzen, CRASH, Window Lickers of America and others have their way, we'll all be driving 65 mph.

    because some drivers are idiots. Had one the other night going up the hill to the Sheridan scale NB on I-90 in Wyo. We both had 75 mph trucks, she (yep a womany driver) was a tab slower than me on the hill, yet refused to back off when I came around her. Result, I missed the prepass sensors, at the last second, when she realized I would have to exit, she backed off and let me over.

    Gave her a few choice words at the scale house, as well as her company the next morning. COURTESY, it's not just a phrase anymore.
