9 times out of 10 the idiot that can do 70 in his governed pos will pass a guy in another governed truck that's governed at 68.
He's the guy that gets in front on level ground but when an incline comes into play he's usually now the slower truck because he's underpowered and/or heavier than everyone else.
Then you have the equally large loser that loves his Georgia overdrive. At every grade he jumps out in the hammer lane and goes as fast as gravity will allow. Blows the doors off every truck around.
He jumps back in the granny lane and begins to climb the next grade at a turtle's pace blocking up the lane and screwing every truck that's lighter or properly powered that he recently passed.
This game of Leap Frog continues for miles and miles until someone gets frustrated enough to stop him.
You ever send dash cam footage in on somebody?

Once the long hood fellas quit putting around in their 3mpg bricks at 68 to pretend it’s fuel efficient,
Just have to be smart about and wait for a solid gap in traffic.tarmadilo Thanks this. -

And if there were less of the ungoverned, properly powered super truckers setting their cruise to 68mph to turn their 5.5mpg brick into a 5.9mpg brick, there’d be less 70mph, 8mpg trucks in the left lane.tarmadilo Thanks this. -

I have no idea who their insurance carrier is, or who the appropriate person is to review it. I'd like to just up load it to a site, computer reviews it, ids the owner of the vehicle and creates a driving score that insurance companies can use to set appropriate rates.
Despite wanting this, I'd probably argue against it because of the intrusive overreach and potential for abuse. -
Then you’ll catch the same group crawling along at 65-68 occasionally trying to be ‘economic’ in their 600hp brick
