I drive an F250. If a typical car does this, it's not gonna hurt me as much as it'll hurt them.

Nothing new around here. For some reason slow driers can't stand to be behind a truck. Hook a boat to the trunk and the issue grows exponentially. I think it's Californians with Beto stickers. I miss the Beto stickers... marked which chicks were down to party. If she smokes or has a Beto sticker, she is a contestant. I miss Beto. He was a walking, talking meme generator. You know he got some good medical when raising that California campaign cash. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/02/full-14056-38817-betotrippin.jpg)

I always enjoyed it when in the semi, doing that right in front of 40 tons proved their stupidity Happens a lot when I'm driving a 26' box truck too. Stupidity is too nice a word - idjits I call them.....

It also marked the chicks who were disgusting and probably never shaved. they all need to leave anyway

I think its a cruise control thing.
What about a semi going .0045 MPH faster than another one so he just HAS to pass the other semi and it takes him about 7 miles to do this while youre stuck behind both of them. Makes me want to snap some necks.

My cruise control uses a camera and radar to match the speed of car/truck in front of me. Makes the whole cruise control issue go away.

Makes me want to snap some necks. thank the insurance cos. and a lack of competent truck drivers. pretty much all co. trucks are governed at 63-65 with a few at 68, same with no trucks left lane bs, dangerous as it can be. the states with split speed limits (except kalifornicate) have all dropped the split, accidents went down.

Yes people are getting dumber everyday. So true... I have labels for some drivers. Flashers....those that drive in the rain with poor visibility already and they have their flashers on and driving 15mph below the speed limit. Hangers....I am driving in the right lane and I can see them catching up to me so obviously they are going faster than I am but when they get to the back of my truck they just hang there instead of passing me, therefore causing their head lights to be blinding me from my outside rear view mirror. Laggers....those that lag 15-20 car lengths behind the car in front of them for no reason, and they are usually right next to some one else going below the speed limit and won't move over. Then they hit the brakes whenever the person in front of them does even though they aren't any where near the car in front of them.

So lately I've noticed this happening as I drive.... a lot. I will be in the right hand lane doing whatever, 70-75 and will have a car either come up behind me or on the left then immediately get over in the right hand lane right in front of me, sometimes 10-15 yards in front of me. Sometimes to the point where I have to tap the brakes even though I have been in the right hand lane the entire time and on CC. There will not be anyone in either lane ahead and usually no-one pressing them from behind, maybe for roughly 100 yards or more. They can just keep going in the left lane or go up ahead and then get in the right. Why in the world do these people need to dive in front of me? We are getting stupider as a peoples. So I'm just taking a stab in the dark here.... Don't you city folk have signs on the highway every 5 feet that say "left lane for passing only"?

You don't have to pass an IQ test to get a drivers license. It's getting to where half the people on the road don't even have a driver's license. Less than that when it comes to insurance.

Less than that when it comes to insurance. summary execution on the side of the road when caught with no insurance or license. period, end of conversation as far as I am concerned.
