THE LEFT LANE ON THE HIGHWAY IS NOT SOME KIND OF DAMN BIRTHRIGHT!!!!
(And by the way, it is illegal in the state of Texas to just hang out in the left lane.)

I got caught behind the dreaded right lane truck going 64 mph
And the left lane truck going 64.5 mph
if the road was level,if it was uphill they dropped to 59

I guess if 64.5 is executing a pass on 64, it is technically okay, even if it takes 15 miles of highway to do it...
It's frustrating as hell to get stuck behind these rolling roadblocks.
I remember when all the truckers would practically push everybody else out of the way. Now they all have governors that prevent them from even doing the speed limit. We have stupid government regulations to thank for that.

If you get passed on the right a lot, then you're an asshole.
ETA: Frustrating trip to Texarkana today

If you are passing more people than are passing you, you're going too fast. If more people are passing you, you're going too slow.

What's up with the folks going slightly over the speed limit, until they start to pass an 18 wheeler, then slow down?

+1 I think that is really dumb. I want to spend as little time as possible in immediate proximity to an 18-wheeler. I speed up slightly when I'm passing trucks. I call it "shooting the gap".

Depends on which lane you're in.

Thank you. I hated it when 4 wheelers dawdled in my blind spots.
