[QUOTE="corneileous, post: 3597206, member: 45041"] I feel your pain and I even drive a semi that is more than capable of driving faster than any speed limit around… Except well, except for maybe I-10 through most of Texas because my truck’s governed at 80 but nonetheless, I feel your pain but you just gotta understand that this is what our trucking industry has turned into. Too many large companies out there that are more interested in saving a dollar on their fuel bill and since the majority of them out there no longer have well experienced drivers driving their trucks, they slow them down that much for safety reasons as well but yes, I know, I don’t like it when a 66 mile an hour truck jumps out there in the left lane to pass up a 65 mile an hour truck but if anything, I don’t get upset at the truck that’s doing the passing; I get upset at the truck that’s being passed simply because his truck is slower than the one thats passing him and no matter what he does, he will never out run that other truck but he looks at it from the wrong way like so many other people do and tries to make the passing truck look like the jerk when in my book, he’s the one being the jerk because he could very simply just back out of the throttle for a tiny bit and let that faster truck get around him and be on his merry way and after telling you this, I sure hope you’re not one of those that agrees with that national speed limit for trucks that the government’s pushing for because if you think it’s bad now, you just wait and see how it’s going to be when almost every truck on the road is going to be governed to the same speed because due to differences in tire sizes from old and new tires and the accuracy of the speedometers, there’s always gonna be that one truck that’s gonna be a little bit faster than the other one and you can bet your bottom dollar he’s going to try to take every advantage of that he can. Oh, what you said at the first of your post about the people who ride in the left lane virtually the same speed as the people in the right lane, that pisses me off to no end as well and what really aggravates me is when they finally decide to get over, it’s like they hit the afterburner switch because they’ll go from the speed limit to 85 miles an hour in no seconds flat. It’s like, why in the hell weren’t you doing that before when you were in the left lane?… LOL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
