I just have to share this with all of you 65 mph governed trucks.
A few days ago I was pulled over in Georgia by a State Policeman for driving in the left lane on a 3 lane highway (I-75) south of Atlanta. I knew I was wrong by being out there but I was passing several slow trucks who absolutely refused to move over and let us pass. We asked (nicely) over the cb radio for them to give us a break and move to the right so we could pass as we were running empty (I was with several trucks trying to pass) and they pretty much ignored us. So I passed finally on a hill in the left lane and got pulled over for it.
Here is where it got interesting. the cop was an older (55 year old) black cop with a very heavy southern drawl. He waived me to the back of the truck and asked for my license. He said you need to stay in your truck lanes and thats that, no excuses, even if you have to pass the slow trucks on the right. So I asked him, why they dont pull over the slow trucks who refuse to yield to us and here is his response, "Sir, did you know that most of us have cb radios in our cruisers?" I said no, he said "We monitor cb traffic and I heard you all asking them to move over so you could pass and I also heard them refusing, on that note I was about to pull over the lead truck when I saw you enter the left lane so I had no choice but to pull you over first". Now that I have given you your warning, you can go so I can catch up to them and issue them a summons. I was all smiles!
I guess there are Highway Patrolmen out there that absolutely "Get It"! this goes back to the thread about slow trucks not moving, you better watch out in the state of Georgia! lol
