And what is that guy going 48 mph supposed to do? I see there is a passing lane in the other direction. So it might not be long.
Fortunately with a diesel I am not underpowered. A gentle hill like that would be 65 mph in 5th or maybe topped out at 6th gear.
Look for a pullout and let others pass. He passed several of them and drove through two small towns before we came to a passing lane.
He's just plain inconsiderate of others.
The was a down grade. Diesel of gas had nothing to do with his choice for speed.
So newbie chicken driver. Everyone has to learn but holding up traffic for miles on end is just ignorant.
Kinda like the folks on the freeway, even rural middle of nowhere, who sit in the left lane doing just at, or below the speed limits.
My weekly commute now involves 700mi round trip over 2 days and 1 night with a 10+ hour work day both days. Ask me how impatient I am when I have 4+ hours to drive before or after work…..the difference between poking along at 70mph and doing 90 for most of the drive is almost an hour difference each way.
To the slow drivers, glad you are relaxed and don’t have anywhere to be right now, but move the f over, because I do!
