most trucks are governed so they can only go so fast. another problem is when we come up behind a four wheeler and we go to pass then he speeds up. so we get back in the right lane then he slows down. they have no idea how dangerous that game is. we cant stop as fast as they can and if they do something stupid its game over.In the OP, this is a VALID complaint that I see over and over EVERY TIME I drive on the Interstate.
Truckers DIDN'T USED TO DRIVE THIS WAY in years past.
In years PAST, when a trucker passed somebody, they just pulled in the left lane and just passed normally like everybody else.
Why the change?
There's no conclusion other than they INTENTIONALLY do this that I can come to.
If I was a police officer I would pull them over and ticket them for intentionally blocking traffic.
It is against the law.
