Haven't had a road rage incident in a while...

[berad001]

Until today

I drive a lot for work, always at the speed limit, always signal my turns, haven't been cited for anything in something like 10 years. I ALWAYS give semis a wide birth...

On the highway today, middle lane, minimal traffic doing the posted 65mph... I hear a J-brake and a semi is easily doing 90 in the right hand lane, almost blows me out of my lane, then he cuts everyone in front me of off. Gigantic semi hauling multiple steel electrical type units/buildings out of Georgia. He keeps getting caught up by slow traffic ahead of him, I pass in the left... Mind you I'm in no way shape or form instigating anything with this truck. He keeps blowing by people using the slow lane (illegal) few times he busted out into the left lane to pass (illegal for semis). I don't even know how this thing was as fast as it was, he was easily weaving in and out of traffic doing 90

So I'm getting ready to take my exit (two lane exit I'm in the right lane) He busts out from the middle lane of the highway cutting people off and goes into the left lane of the exit ramp. From there he blows by me, cuts me off, then slams his brakes hard I'm like so I attempt to get into the left lane simply to not be behind the guy... Completely taken by surprise I'm on the brakes again because he's swerving/trying to run me off the road/keep me from passing... I just slow down and stay behind him.

Now we're out of the exit and heading up to a 6 booth toll, 3 of which are cash which is what I was doing (forgot fastlane at home) still not sure WTF the semi driver is thinking I go to a far left one, he accelerates and tries to run me out of my lane and now on the horn hard. I go back right and he does it again, left he swerves again... We get right up to a booth and he's literally got me in the middle of two lanes I'm on his drivers side... We're both stopped.

His cab door swings open, fvcking biggest redneck I've ever seen 50-60y/o about 5' tall. "Take the bus next time fvcker, you can't drive 4 shyt mother fvcker." I'm like Just basically laughed at him while giving him the bird... While he was busy telling me to take the bus I was able to squeeze infront of him into the toll booth.. He was right on my azz doing something with air brakes trying to intimidate me... Gave him the bird again as I left the booth, he must have gone a different way after that because I didn't see him again

Should have reported him, assuming he doesn't own the truck

He was either on drugs or just wrecked from driving his whole life... Either way admittedly I was a little relieved fvcking Mr. T didn't climb out of the cab because this guy was a total joke... Unless he had a shot gun, which he probably did

I should have done a lot of things, like take a picture of him for comedy relief, report him to the company ( u mentioned) flagged down one of the multiple state cops that just chill at the toll, etc... At the time the only thing on my mind was leaving him safely behind me.

laughing and/or flipping the bird after talking sh1t while cars were in motion, says you're scared as fvck now that you are stopped next to each other.

I didn't talk shyt while cars were in motion, nor did I do anything to instigate anything (did u read the thread?)... I didn't even make eye contact with the guy until we were stopped. I flipped him off and laughed at him only at a stop about 10' from him (as face to face as we got)... So basically what you wrote makes no sense, but good try

If they're geared right, you can really get them moving on the highway.

The big engines are 600+hp and 2000+ft/lbs.

[LWood]

There are guys that make a very decent living sitting in truck stops reflashing ecm's. There are also guys that make a decent living sitting in truck stops sucking cock, so you've always gotta be carefully when answering the knock on your door.

People who want to do 90 can always use the other 2-4 lanes to go around... Again

Don't come off all high and mighty...you're obviously aware that you're the minority or you wouldn't have even emphasized it. You're impeding traffic. Get the fuck out of the way and get into the right lane. End of story.

No, we can't. It's illegal to pass on the right and sometimes it's not safe to pass on the left. If you want to drive slower than the flow of traffic, and I don't give a shit what the speed limit is, then you should be in the right lane. Period. If YOU come across someone in THAT lane going too slow, then YOU should use one of the other two lanes to pass.

Obeying the speed limit while you're driving a work van on the job= high and mighty...

Ok jay

Like I said, if the speed limit is too slow pass me, it's not like I'm doing the speed limit in the passing lane.

So I should drive at your pace (above the speed limit) because passing in any one of those open left lanes is dangerous? Get real rolo.

is basically saying "Well *i* do the speed limit, look at me, I am right, everyone else going faster is wronnng"

Like I said, I don't care what the speed limit is. It's called the slow lane for a reason. If you're going slower than everyone else, that's the lane for you. The middle is the through lane. IE, the lane for people going with the flow of traffic. The left lane is the fast lane. IE people going faster than everyone else. Get it? Got it? Good.

Absolutely not. If you don't want to drive faster than the speed limit, fine. Just don't sit in the through lane and impede everyone else who wants to go on about their day.

[Al Blue4.6l]

I obviously dont know MA law, but here's the relevant section from the VA Code

§ 46.2-804. Special regulations applicable on highways laned for traffic.

Whenever any roadway has been divided into clearly marked lanes for traffic, drivers of vehicles shall obey the following:

1. Any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions existing, shall be driven in the lane nearest the right edge or right curb of the highway when such lane is available for travel except when overtaking and passing another vehicle or in preparation for a left turn or where right lanes are reserved for slow-moving traffic as permitted in this section;

Lucky you don't make the rules and cops don't pull people over for obeying the speed limit in a non-passing lane... Looks like I'm in the clear. Thanks for the backwards azz advice though

Looks like you're not. Thanks, Al. Looks like my advice was spot on...

I was within the flow of traffic, I was actually passing people in the middle lane using the left. If there is basically no traffic, I'm in the far right lane. When I'm working/ driving the van at least.
