    I'm in Ohio quite often. Spent this entire week there. Next time we should grab a beer or five.

    The majority of vehicles I try to pass on the highway end up speeding up when they look up from texting/Facebook/porn or whatever they’re looking at and see a Walmart truck passing them. Cars, other trucks, doesn’t matter. I can verify this due to the nanny tech....I mean OnGuard radar readout of the vehicle’s speed in front of me.

    All governed trucks should be banned from the passing lane. Drives me crazy how many times I have followed these idiots for 10 miles while they duel it out.

    I set up my pass and hammer it by before I end up in a outSide curve and if I have someone passing me at a Crawl even sometimes a 4 wheeler I kick off the cruise for a minute and let them by.

    Have you noticed most idiots that are driving slow or hang out in your passenger blind spot are driving a Prius.

    Yep. Had a Prius intentionally block me from passing one day in Cincinnati. Guess he thought everyone should go 50mph in a 70/65mph zone.
