When I was a MUCH younger man I drove truck for about 7 years. Several things I remember while preparing for the written part of the CA class A test.

1 no matter what speed you are going once there are 5 cars behind you move out of the way. (I will find a wide spot if there are 2 or more cars behind me if on a one lane road.)

2 in order to pass a vehicle you are to be going at least 5 MPH faster than the vehicle you are overthinking.

Just two that I remember re passing and holding up others.

It is very dangerous to allow a long line of cars to be stuck behind you EVEN if you are doing the speed limit. This invites someone to attempt to pass you when they should not. We have all seen this. Yes they are in the wrong BUT you have created this situation so you are to blame. RVers who do this give us all a bad name. You guys who do this knock it off it makes you look stupid and just invites violence (road rage).

So quit being the pimple on the butt of progress and move over or pull off at the first wide spot and let them by.

No body appointed you the traffic monitor in chief.

Ok off the soap box who's next?
