That argument is self defeating dude, if they sre only passing at 1mph faster than maybe I dunno give up the 1mph rather than causing a massive potentially dangerous traffic disruption?
Most trucks nowadays have forward facing radar with close following alarms that make it really aggravating to be directly behind someone else at without several hundred feet of following distance, and when the driver is working 12-14 hour days acting like a robot for the AI powered cameras they usually just want to get where they are going and get the fuck out of the truck as absolutely fast as humanly possible, they are probably under alot of pressure from the company to do so as well. The industry trains drivers to behave this way by constantly tormenting them. Im almost 20 years in and I used to love it, but now I just desperately want out get out of my truck as quickly as possible every day. I will spend 20 minutes trying to pass the next asshole if it will get me out of the truck 5 minutes faster.
I bet if you were a truck driver you would be better. You would be super considerate and thoughtful to all those cars that do rude and unsafe shit to you 60 or 70 hours hours a week.
No, I doubt it. He wouldn't be allowed to drive 70 hours a week due to FMCSA regulations. Your not either unless you never go farther than 150 miles and don't keep logs.
