Towing above 65
Currently out camping and on the way up I was getting past left and right by rv's. If you have a proper truck and change your trailer tires to LTs. Can trailers be safely towed in the 70 mph range. Th...

I mostly concur. The place I diverge is in urban areas that have multiple lanes on the interstate. In those cases, I perfer to ride in the next to the right lane for two reasons. 1) I don't like to have to dodge the folks coming on the interstate and getting off the interstate. If they have their dedicated lane , then it's easier on them and me. 2) Sometimes in urban areas that right most lane becomes a exit only lane, then i'm forced to move over a lane. For me when pulling, the less lane changing the better.

Any highway I've been on that has a speed limit over 65 mph also has multiple lanes.. In those cases, I'll just ride in the 'slow' lane at 60 or whatever mph I'm comfortable with and enjoy the ride.. :)
Whoever wants to go faster than me, can pass on my left side, because I stay in the right lane and hold my speed, doing what I'm supposed to be doing.. :)
When there are 3 or more lanes, I still hug the right (slow) lane, as I can deal with inept merging drivers more than I can deal with running in the middle lane (the whole time) and having people pass on my right and left (and getting all pissed off).. Besides, I just think it's wrong to stay in the middle lane if you are not able to maintain the general flow of traffic in general..
If I run up on a slower vehicle while in the right lane, I change lanes and pass. If I see a merging driver that is going to meet up with me and I can move to the middle lane (or fast lane) with lots of room, I'll move lanes.
But usually, it's just best to let off the gas and let the inept merging driver merge ahead of me and then they figure out they can go faster once they get on the hwy and they are out of my way.. :)
Yes, merging vehicles are the worst and most don't have a clue on how to merge onto a hwy, but I've just learned to be patient and ignore the fact they don't use their blinker or common sense, because they are just dumb asses and I get back to enjoying the trip once I comment on their actions.. :)
Yeah, I probably piss some people off too... But, I feel I give those inept drivers more slack then most, so it all works out.. :)
