It never ceases to amaze me the lack of respect people in tiny cars give to 80,000 lb. trucks.
Nice to see it wound up being doubly satisfying for you: d-bag in the Nissan gets a ticket and d-bags driving for Werner are forced to slow down and suck your exhaust.
it's weird to reply to a comment from more than a year ago on a stranger's journal, but this is a maddening point for me: i suspect cruise control is responsible for the 'packs' that bother you (i call a pack a bolus and the space between packs the interbolus -- bolus is the term for a chunk of chewed food moving through the digestive tract by peristalsis, being sort of pushed along rather than having agency of its own). packs are caused by a slow car in the lead and trapped or complacent drivers in line behind it.
and the reason a slow car winds up leading the fast lane is usually cruise control set to a speed lower than acceptable for the fast lane. this is a favorite habit among people of my mother's generation, who want to set it and forget it, and never think about what's behind them or passionately don't care (a related peeve is that if people like my mother have others in the car they seem to feel compelled by imaginary law or divine right to stay in the carpool lane).
