I can't even go the speed limit in a lot of places because our rig just doesn't have enough HP to get the 19,000 pounds and sailboat up steep hills. If there is a truck lane I am in it. If there is a turnout I use it. I am sure I still piss people off because there are places where the state or county just doesn't think they need turnouts or passing lanes. I have never made a line of cars follow us more than a mile or so though before I find some shoulder or something to pull over.
That being said, we were traveling in our new F150 in fairly heavy traffic and were at least 4 cars back from a slow leader car. The guy behind me doesn't pass us during an opening...no, he goes at 70mph past all five of us on the shoulder, with two tires in the grass. I had never wished so hard for LEO to be around. He would have killed a pedestrian, cyclist or anyone who happened to be pulled off with an emergency.
Moral of the story, people are impatient ********. Always have been, always will be.
