It’s not just truckers, there are many idiotic drivers who do this. As if passing them is a personal attack or something. They have to prove that you’re not faster than them.
nxhwabvs@reddit
Yes. This is why you just have to be faster than anyone else.

I got stuck behind a literal porche on a country road, then I finally over took him, and he proceeded to chimp out over it.

years ago i was stuck behind a subaru outback that couldn't seem to keep a steady speed on a two lane road, eventually a passing section opened up and he got butthurt about it because then he magically found the ability to do 40 over the limit, although i could see he was struggling to keep up in the turns lol. after about 5 mins i think he finally realised that i couldn't care less about him and he backed off
edbods@reddit
few days ago a pedestrian went nuts and started yelling at me when i turned as he was leaving a crosswalk...there was enough room to drive an abrams next to him without running him over lol.

Sometimes I do this, It's not out of maliciousness or anything it's just that when I'm zoned out and a car tries to pass me I check my speed and I'm probably going slower than usual so I speed up
McWeaksauce91@reddit
My favorite road scenario:
driving on highway behind a slower person
checks side mirror, the driver in the left lane is 1-2 car lengths behind
“Perfect, let me just put my blinker on and -“
left lane driver ferociously speeds up to block you
“Why are you like this…”
let them pass, then changes lanes safely
*left lane car, now In front of you, slows back down”
FUCKING SIGH
3rdTotenkopf@reddit
Sigh.
Why is it that some people only think of attempting their pass right at the point where the person already overtaking at a much higher rate of speed in the left lane has to hammer the brakes?
Only to then watch as they ever so slowly crawl around the car they were happily sitting behind for the last 8 miles?
LetComprehensive4600@reddit
Yeah, ego chall. People are just children with a sense of authority.

It's probably been 12 hours since the trucker last murdered a hitchhiker, and he's getting the shakes.
Brussel_Rand@reddit
Murdered a hitchhiker, did a line, and banged a lot lizard. What else are truckers supposed to do to keep them sane?
iiTryhard@reddit
Always knew I should have been a trucker

The bar is set so low to get a CDL you basically just have to figure out how to piss clean.

And make sure you're able to do a U turn in front of a van, killing multiple members of a family

As far as I'm aware it was actually three illegal Haitian immigrants, some have praised him for saving the taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars

Nah I use cruise control everywhere and the truckers will ride the hills in rural places pretty wild. They’ll be going 90+ down the hills and ≈50 going uphill. I’m sure there’s some aspect of engine limitations, but even engine braking alone would prevent them from going 90+ on these downhills.
Some truckers are assholes, to be sure.
DreamsServedSoft@reddit
they use the momentum on purpose and the truck cant get more than 60mph going up the hill and if they didn’t do 90 down they would be going 40 up the hill. trucks are so slow I cant believe anyone here is having any issues getting around them, maybe get a faster car first
JustCallMeChristo@reddit
I wasn’t debating the physics of why they do it. I know why. I’m just saying it’s definitely a thing, and it’s not something that cruise control alone will fix. That’s not a “get a faster car” issue, it’s an issue with the truckers slingshotting back and forth along the road while thinking they always have the right of way; even when they’re barreling down a hill in the right lane pushing 100 mph while some grandma is trying to cruise control the speed limit at 65.

Today anon discovers the concept of gravity
EltonJuan@reddit
What's really annoying is when a truck tries passing another truck and they end up blocking both lanes for miles. I'm assuming it's a speed regulator issue on the passing truck but the one being passed should just let off the gas so the lanes can clear sooner

Texas drag race
brannock_@reddit
Sometimes they do this on purpose to clear up traffic jams.
Lego-Under-Foot@reddit
And then they just refuse to even try to get over even though they can clearly see a line of 20+ cars stuck behind them. I honestly think they get a kick out of holding up traffic
countrybreakfast1@reddit
I always think a part of this is hills. They struggle to go up and pick up a head of steam going down.
Meowmeow69me@reddit
Used to work at a truck stop and truck drivers are a special type of person

Who does this job? Special hobos
EiriAmach@reddit
Truckers are just hobos on wheels, basically.

People with limited/no education who want to make a lot of money. Sometimes they're educated, but they're usually immigrants where their degree doesn't actually help them at all in the US. Like, I knew a driver who was a lawyer in Brazil, but that shit literally means nothing to an employer if you're in a different country.
futainflation@reddit
second anon is right, 95% of trucks on the road are locked to their max speed with cruise control. if you let them catch back up it's because you're not paying attention
Redditry119@reddit
If I spent half my life driving I would also need to invent stupid ways to entertain myself
SatanVapesOn666W@reddit
Nah this is way more common among randos who love to speed up to get in the fast lane, pass then slow down from 205 over the limit to 10 under. Truckers tend to be consistent unless there is a large hill where the truck loaded down just can't go up quickly like crossing the Appalachia
NachoNutritious@reddit
My commute has me entering the highway at a spot that's every flat and straight and I can see ahead for close to 3 miles. It's the worst fucking feeling when you're about to make that turn and you can see in the distance multiple semis across several lanes and you just know the flow of traffic is going to be completely fucked from these fuckers acting like a retarded caravan blocking the entire highway.
