Let them obey the traffic laws like everyone else. 😉
That should make things real interesting.

Love to see cops give tickets to them for this

I love seeing cops given tickets to eradicate car drivers too.

Capital punishment seems excessive in this case, even if the cops have been given tickets that authorize it!

Speeders tend to get very upset if anything hinders their law breaking.

Lol. Oh wow. This is probably one of the guys

Nah, he's one of the guys that camps in the left lane to prevent speeding.

No, I've never seen truckers do this.

I agree, have I seen a truck pass another truck somewhat slowly.

Like how long are you talking about? 2 trucks side by side so no one can pass.

You must be blind or don't drive on two lane roads. This happens a crap ton on the way to Boise.

Give 'em a break. They're headed to the BSU truck driver school to get educated.

Give them a break. They are some of the few on the road who are working.

I have much less patience for right-lane passers than truckers. Truckers seem

I for sure have, but I think it’s accidental. I’ve seen a truck pull out to pass coming to a slight incline and then

Truckers are the most aware drivers on the road. They plan way in advance.

FYI, You hit them with the emergency flashers after you pass to say “thank you”. I’ve had them do this just when I was

I've never used the flashers for this, just tapped the brakes. But makes sense

Part of the problem is that a lot of truck engines have governors now so they

More likely they try to pass, grade changes, and just can't quite get it done.

Who is the long haul trucker on CB? He could probably offer insight.

Yep. It sucks. Happened to me outside of Laramie on the 80.

Does this happen very often? In my experience, truckers usually pull right when
Tricky

They'll last for miles and miles. Sometimes 10-15 miles.
Division Bell

They know they are holding up traffic but it's not malicious. The worst is when they go to pass
