When two cars are going down the road with just slightly
different speeds on their cruise control things can get pretty
dicey. It would be nice if the faster guy goes a little faster
and the slower guy a little slower. This decreases the time
the cars spend in close proximity and relieves stress
and risk
on the drivers.

Maybe they do things different there. Here, you usually
accelerate if necessary to pass cleanly, then return to cruise
control (if you use it) afterwards. A well-mannered passee
will also slow down just a whisker as you pass, before
resuming his accustomed speed (this happens less and less,
though). |
|

The main passing-related gripe here is that lorries (trucks)
will often overtake one another with a 1mph speed
difference. I don't understand why. |
|
| |
I'm not so sure. Often I can see the truck pull out, and can
see that there's nothing in front of him, and can see that
there's still nothing in front of him when he pulls back in, in
front of the truck he's just overtaken. |

I figured it's some perverse gay thing amongst truckers. |

“I'd rather burn fivers than brake” is, I think, the official motto, [MB] |

Yeah, but if we can start a rumour that the ultra-slow-pass is
basically a gay thing between truckers, they may change
their ways. |

I always get that so-you-wanna-drag feeling. |
|

So at what point do you run them off the road ? |

Re: truckers [MB], I find their behavior much more
justifiably vindictive
than simply being 'gay'. That being said I question
what percentage of individual taxes and business
taxes go into repairing the roads. A solid 50/50
wouldn't reflect the turmoil truckers impose. |
