People impede traffic for different reasons.
Some because they are ignorant to their surroundings, don't know the laws that pertain to impeding traffic or because they are that they only care about themselves and some because they have no choice, like the Walmart truck in the picture.
I took this picture Monday heading south on I-15 in an 80 mph zone.
I had my cruise set at 88 mph and when I saw the truck signal to change lanes so he could pass the other truck I applied my brakes and flashed my headlights signaling him that he could change lanes.
The Shaffer truck was most likely going 63 or 64 mph and the Walmart truck was going 65-66 mph. It took a few miles for the Walmart truck to get past the Shaffer truck and I'm OK with this.
If either one of those two trucks had to slow down it could take them MILES to regain the speed they lost. In my car it takes only seconds to get back up to speed.
The people that pi$$ me off are the people in the slow lane that wait until the last minute to change lanes to pass a slower moving vehicle and make me slow way down. Why don't they yield to the faster moving traffic or speed up themselves?? Those and the ignorant people.
Everybody is on the road for different reasons. If you're holding up traffic please pull over the first chance you get. You are not the only one out there.
