i have had people come up behind me, i'm doo'n 120 and they are 140-150, get behind and will stay there for hrs. lots of opportunity to pass, miles of no oncoming traffic, i have slowed down and pulled over as far right as possible but no they just follow, drives me wild. or they will decide to pass on a blind corner, numb nuts is what i call em. oh well.

I think this is a useful spot to see what really "grinds your gears." Could be bad drivers, rude people, thread hijackers or how the dang government is ruining this country. Maybe this will help threads stay on track.

Fire away

You gonna make it up this way for sledding this year?

When this happens to me I make a game of it. If they lock onto you in the right hand lane, keep hitting the coast button on cruise every couple minutes; see how slow you can get them to stay behind you before figuring out what’s happening. Works best with idiots talking on their phones I find!

Absolutely. Last year was slow first due to iffy conditions - then cold weather - then I got busy. Need to make up for that this year. I will PM you when we have something cooking.

People who have trouble comprehending "Slower traffic keep right" on a 4 lane highway

If some has caught up to you....GET THE **** OUT OF THE WAY!

It doesn't matter if you are at the maximum posted speed limit and the guy behind you is speeding.....GET THE **** OUT OF THE WAY!

If you can't understand 4 simple English words..."slow traffic keep right".....you ARE part of the problem....GET THE **** OUT OF THE WAY!

If you are making excuses to why you are in that lane......you ARE part of the problem.............GET THE **** OUT OF THE WAY

Rant over

Phew....there, I feel better
