That means you are going too slow in the fast lane. Stop camping in the passing lane.

Always hated that on the turnpike. One jackass doing 66 trying to pass another jackass doing 65 all in a 70.

i absolutely do NOT take the turnpike unless i have to, my boyfriend and his parents drove to maryland from new york this past fall for thanksgiving, i met them in maryland with my family as well since it was kind of a get-together (my boyfriend & i are long distance) and they almost got into an accident at least 10 times on the way!

I've found people in BMW and VW are especially bad with that; seem to think they're on the Autobahn, although probably were never in Germany except on a Viking tour.

i drive an older mustang that sits very low and jesus christ, this but when a semi is behind me! literally ANY truck rides my ass until i let them pass… i always chalked it up to “maybe they can’t see me” but my car is a very bright color 🤣

a truck driver almost side swept me not too long ago and luckily no one was really all the way up on my ass behind me or else that would’ve gotten very ugly.

Truck drivers have not been Knights of the road for years.

Unfortunately it’s because the trucks are set at a maximum speed (65-75) and we have to be somewhere “yesterday”, because someone in an office planed using google maps that estimates travel times based on what a car can do. Also weight is a factor which is why trucks can slow way down on an uphill and get faster on the downhill. And we need every mph we can squeeze out of a 5-8-11 hour trip because our bosses demand it.

Which is why, screen name aside, I’m not doing it anymore.

Yea dude. You're right. Road rage is always totally justified and rational.

So many left-lane campers between Quakertown and the Tunnel in particular. Fn annoying.
