    That seems to be the only way to drive around here. Not saying the driver in either pic is not guilty of tailgating but who's to say the vehicle in front didn't chop them off that close? Around here it looks bad with those exact scenario's taking place but a lot of times it's because the car chopped the truck off real close. I had one 2 weeks ago that did that to me for no reason. Chopped me off even though they had plenty of room to go further ahead of me and then merge over. Problem here with trucks tailgating, it's the only way to get a car to move out of the passing lane so the truck can go on down the road. They tailgate to intimidate the cars to move, makes the rest of us look bad.

    I watched both trucks close in on the cars, they were pissed off because the cars were in the middle lane, the werner managed to scare the car into moving, but the Reagent driver didnt, I was surprised he didnt hit the guy, he finally passed in the right lane which had been clear the whole time

    Looks like the 4 wheelers are too dumb to stay in the right lane where they belong.

    in both cases, the cars were doing the speed limit, I agree they should move over anyway, but that's no reason to risk killing them

    What was the '20 on that Werner wagon? I'm pretty sure that wasn't one of our boys if he was going 65 (We're stuck at 62).

    actualy I seem to recall some of thier trucks going quicker if you were on the lease side. Eather way, 62 65 or 55 tailgateing with a vehicle that big is a big no no, I wouldn't even do that in my ford ranger.

    In Arkansas, it would be very difficult to enforce a "slower traffic keep right laws" what with there being highways splitting right and left and exits to the right and left and, if you are not in the correct lane to go where you are going at least 10-20 miles before the split or exit, you miss going to where you are going. I have only twice been able to stay in the right lane until just before 430 splits to go to Little Rock or to somewhere else and that was when I was coming home from a midnight showing of a Pirates of the Caribbean movie - the highway splits such that if you are going to Little Rock, you need to be in the left lane - I live in Little Rock.

    I still say that both cars are obstructing the flow of traffic, and should not be in the center lane

    Here's an idea. Instead of putting up dull useless metal signs no one reads that say; "Trucks over 10 wheels must use 2 right lanes", put up bright flashing signs that say "All 4 wheelers gtfo of truck drivers way cus they're not allowed in the left lane and it ain't safe to pass on the right plus there's a slow truck blocking that lane which means they're more or less stuck in the center lane where you are driving too slow I might add and don't forget most truckers get paid by the mile not by the hour you silly wabbit and btw don't complain about that werner truck tailgating you cus he's trying to deliver the freshly baked crumb cake you were complaining this morning walmart was out of stock on okay? Thank you! - D.O.T"
