Sorry my my bad..
Drives me nuts when I'm in right lane doing 5 mph over the posted speed limit. Look in rear view mirror and see this. This wasn't 20 mph in a 15 mph so not like anyone is stopping quick if something happens.
This is a big rig so a little more annoying that the Usual 30 something in car or SUV.
I just don't get what people gain by driving up someone's rear end I'm not going to go any faster.. This guy finally moved to the left and passed me. Then moved back to the right so I was behind him at the next stop light 1/2 mile up road.
Guess he showed me.
What does everyone think ? Should I call the 800 number on the truck and see if they want the photos I have?
Getting so a guy should have a dash cam both facing front and back.

Maybe the driver of the big rig was trying to see if you were on your phone and driving distracted by taking photos.

If he had room to pass you on the right, why were you driving in the left lane?

I assume you mean b/c someone was in front of you and you were waiting on them as well.
I hate when I'm following someone and the person behind me acts like I am the one in their way... hey buddy were both waiting on this dipstick in front of me.

Dipstick = person in left lane with people behind them and no one in front of them and they not getting over.

EXACTLY! People that camp in the left lane annoy the snot out of me! Use the left lane to actively pass someone and then get back in the right lane where you belong.

Humm, good question.

What bugs me is the folks who pass me and whip right back over with 8 ft of space between me and them.

Left lane is the passing lane; not supposed to camp-out there. If you do happen to be spending some time in the left lane and see someone coming up on you, you're supposed to move to the right..

before dash cams and all the recording devices I heard about a crazy Ironworker I knew( dead now) that had a small hatch back car with sun roof and was car pooling with 3 other guys. they were on a 2 lane hwy and the truck was closer than your picture could not see the bumper just the grill. the sun roof was open and he stuck his arm out of it and emptied his 38 back into the grill of the semi. no aiming just arm out of the sun roof pointing behind the car and bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. The truck backed off fast and the cops never showed up at the plant we were working and never heard a thing about it. Now I would not believe that story but I knew the guy and everyone in the vehicle. It happened.


Had a semi try to run a young girl off the road I personally saw around the same time. It was late night 2 or 3 am I think in MO or IL on interstate 64. It was a long flat area and I was following about 150 yards behind my girlfriend. A semi passed us both slowed beside her then passed her. once he was in front of her he shined a bright light in his mirrors back into her eyes, she slowed down, then he started swalearving across both lanes and the shoulder back and forth whilst slowing down further. It was late summer and dry he was kicking up a lot of dust going off the road some when swerving back and forth.

I speed up caught up and he quit swerving as I got closer. I got up beside him just a little behind about even up to his sleeper before he saw my window down and decided to speed up faster than my 1988 Isuzu trooper could go and he was out of sight quickly. I have often wondered how many of the missing girls you see posters of that man was responsible for. I would never have believed it had I not seen it and experience it. I was just over 18 and in shock when it started not understanding what was going on for a while until he had slowed them down to around 45mph then it clicked.

There is a movie like that. A semi driver with hundreds of graves in his back yard.

Yup, it's (un)common decency, and the LAW in some places...

Speed limits are the law too, but nobody pays attention to those either.

Most drivers today don't have patience today everybody wants to get to where they are going quick.

On multilane highways slower traffic is to the right,faster traffic is to the left.
Not good to be constantly changing lanes to pass,just keep up with the flow of traffic in the lane you are in and stay there until its time to exit..
What bugs me is the retards weaving in and out of traffic on a 6 lane highway to pass everybody on right and left.
Usually see them in the ditch,in an accident or pulled over by a cop down the road.

I move over. Sometimes I feel like driving faster too so I like to be able to pass if I want to.

In Alaska its a $500.00 fine to use the left lane as a driving lane!

With the influx of new drivers that have showed up this year driving has become dangerous. One of them was just killed pulling out in front of an empty set of doubles Ore Truck!

We just finished working on a RR overpass and the speed limit was 45. about 1/2 of the cars obeyed but the others don't slow down. I used to carry a can of upside down PINK line paint in my back pocket for speeders that come to close to me working on the highway!

I also move over unless it is in town.

people just need to beat out the other guy in todays screwed up society....be ahead of him, prove your smarter, better and the list goes on.

My thoughts exactly . Here it law for slower traffic to keep right . Nothing more annoying than a slower vehicle in the left lane .

This is where I’m at on the subject. You admitted to driving over the speed limit yourself but the impression is that you had a superior right to set everyone else’s speed to yours by becoming a rolling road block. You should have moved over.

I've read that in Europe, the penalty for failure of slower traffic to keep right is worse than a DUI.

And i think it should be.
