A couple of days ago I was on I24 going west in Tennessee right before Nashville and I was behind a ups truck and hte blew a tire so I looked in my mirror and there was a truck a little ways back and he had been in the lefft lane for sometime so there were a bunch of cars behind him so moved over and the ups driver was pulling over on the shoulder and at the same then the truck behind me cuts over to the right lane blows by ups them waves to me as he passed me in the right with all 100 of the tailgating 4 wheelers behind him. I was furious. Thank goddness a truck was merging on I was able to jump over eventually but I can't believe that brain dead idiot did that.
Same day a little further down I moved over to let a truck on and b4 I had chance to move back he gunned it and I couldn't get over and there was a scale coming up. Well it was open but right as he passed closed. I started to tell him but then I was po'ed at what he did. He ended up sitting on the ramp and I laughed at him as I passed. -
If your speed governor is the same as the speed limit, you have no business in the left lane anyway. You choose to drive in a lane you don't have the speed/power for why is it my responsibility to make sure you can get back over? It may not be polite but neither is flashing your brights in my mirrors.
What you guys call the "hill game" is because some of us set our cruse on a speed, say 65mph. I'll pass someone up hill doing 65 but they want to race down the other side at 70 and pass me back. So when I see them struggling up the next hill they expect me to allow them to slide in front of me so I have to step back out and pass them again. Sorry, slower traffic STAY right. -

Who moves over for merging traffic? They've got the yield sign not the mainline.
