I speed up a little and as soon as I reach the front of the truck, I slow back down, falling all the way back to the rear of the truck. 
I know the guy was having a shite fit. 


This makes him the a-hole, no matter which lane he's in.

I was doing 75 in a 70, in the right lane. You are suggesting I go over 80 (easily) to pass the truck in order for the a-hole to have room to pass.

Nope.

The real answer to the story is that the truck should have slowed down since I was already beside him and get in behind me.

I already admitted, be an arse hole to me, I’ll be an a-hole as well, especially when I was not in the wrong.

Good God, now I know what the problem is on our roads.


I agree. From reading some of the responses, most of the drivers on this board don't know shite about the real "Rules of the road."


Bunch of dumb asses is what I'm seeing.

Bottlenecks on the interstate cause accidents


So do people driving excessive speeds. You wouldn't have the bottleneck in the first place were the idiot driver following the posted speed limit

Of course this is the real answer but it’s not real life.

Idiots going slower in the left land should always be shot but since there’s not enoug bullets, that’s impractical.

So you deal with it by speeding up briefly to let the guy around.

And don’t fricking play games varying your speed. Serves no purpose but leads to pissed off people and risky situations that you aggravate.

The arse hole in the Mustang swings into the left lane and takes off, laying on his horn as he passes. I’m sure he was flipping me off, but I couldn’t see him.


Mustang is one of the biggest white trash status symbols you can have. No wonder he was driving like a moron.

And I would have done it if the guy wasn’t riding my arse with his brights on.

After him flashing the truck didn’t work, if he would have simply gotten in behind me because I was going slightly faster than the truck, I would have done it.

MAYBE

But we are talking about rules of the road. He's in the right hand lane and has no obligation to control the flow of traffic.

Depending on my mood and my pissy level of him getting behind me in the right hand lane and bright lighting me I might have made him eat shite for about 5 miles or so.

Do you not think driving driving 20 mph over the posted speed is dangerous? It's not even debatable that it is. The OP is a dumbass and an a-hole for blocking him like that, but the guy driving that fast is a dumbass and an a-hole too

Y’all both could have handled the situation better.

If I was behind you with explosive diarrhea, I would have taken the shoulder. Sometime there’s no time for who’s the boss of the lane, games.

Exactly

The 18 wheeler driver should have been pulled over and had his drivers log inspected He had no reason to be driving in the passing lane at 4 AM

That might have made you feel better in that moment, but really you created a dangerous situation for yourself and other drivers unnecessarily.

I was taught that if someone wants to go faster than you, just get over ASAP. Otherwise you cause dumbarse tailgaters to pass on the right or weave in and out of traffic.

Pissing off someone already driving like a reckless maniac is not smart. You also didn’t change his behavior, you accelerated it.

Yep, tickets for all three drivers. Everyone in this situation is an a-hole.

OP also sounds like a pussy.

You were probably doing 65 and in the left lane. Stay home if you’re scared.
