...If you're doing 80 in the left lane and someone wants to pass, you usually have to slow down to 70 or so to move right... Come on!

In Idaho, the freeway limit is 80 and that applies to all lanes. If you're doing 80 in the left lane and someone wants to pass, you usually have to slow down to 70 or so to move right. Since you're already going the speed limit and passing cars & trucks doing it, I see no reason to slow down so someone can break the law. If I can do it without slowing down, then I'll move over. The question is why are you driving in the left lane then? I believe the law in MT is to travel in the right hand lane unless passing or turning. Though I've never heard of anyone actually getting ticketed for it. I wish they would enforce it though. You also are permitted to go 10 over in order to pass.

I drove down the centerline pretty much the first 120 miles of the parts run to Miles City this morning.
Record time...

Actually we weren't in a hurry(in the right lane...) but when wife fell asleep the Explorer momentarily hit triple digits. Not another vehicle on the highway for miles......

Careful RezDawg, I've read on here that you are NOT permitted to travel over the posted limit! And by Gawd they'll block all lanes of traffic to ensure it!

I was more worried about a tire blowing.
Cruising about 90, slow down to 74.
Wife asked, "Why'd you slow done?"
We're doing 74....
She replies, "Well it seems like we are going slow"....
Can you say smooth operator?!

And around here you will have 2 trucks side by side going below the speed limit for miles on end, across Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana, and Kentucky.

I see a lot of people on here need to drive a truck some , and they will drive their car/pickup different. And there are a few here I'd probably just blow their stupid head off if they cam across with the attuide they do here

On the drive back I asked her, "Remember that time you gave me road head?"
She sarcastically replied, "I was stoned".

I have a sales territory that requires about 1,000 miles a week to manage, so I'm on on the road a good bit. I love it when I consistently help the truck drivers on the road, only to have one pull out in front of me, unnecessarily, a few miles from home. Pos will slow roll at about 20 under the speed limit for the next few miles. Makes me regret the courtesy that I extended to them earlier in the day. Nonetheless, I help them when I can.

I think the right thing to do is make all trucks illegal. That was those scum of the earth truck drivers won't bother anyone any more.
