[QUOTE="brownrecluse, post: 311871, member: 12286"] I respectfully disagree (with the legal aspect of your post). If the car was driving the max speed limit in the center or the right lane, then clearly no law was being broken. If however the car was driving continuously in the left lane, then a law (at least in MI) is being broken. While I personally think it's wise to go with the flow (in any non-commercial vehicle), there is no law (again in MI) on the books that states that a driver must keep up to, or may not drive slower than, other traffic that's breaking the law by speeding. Common courtesy, and unfortunately nothing else, dictates that the 4 wheeler should have moved to the right to let the truck pass. However, professionalism and training, and a plethora of other reasons, should have kept the feeder driver within his space/safety cushion. Period. no debate, non-negotiable. We are professional drivers. We train, and we become professional drivers so that we act accordingly, professionally, and safely in any given situation that we may encounter on the road. There's no rational, logical, or legal reason that the feeder driver had any right to endanger the lives or property of others just because he didn't want to travel the speed limit. ...and...that car in the middle lane would have annoyed me too.
