Do you ever feel that other drivers accelerate frustratingly SLOW? - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I ABSOLUTELY HATE when you are on a highway that is 2 lanes and in the left lane there are two truckers. Before you can pass both of them, the truck in the back decides the one in the front is going too slow and decides to pass him... ugggh!

1) I hate being behind trucks as they give you rock chips
2) They take about 8 months to pass another truck.

Then I have to slow down to about 10 to 15 mph slower than speed limit so I can be a safe distance behind the truck... I HATE when truckers do this.

The best defense is a good offense.

There's always one person that doesn't agree, it's all good and yes sarcasm. It's not something that makes me lose my temper, just makes me question the psychology of the different driver "profiles."

On a side note though my speed is pretty consistent w/ others, usually 5-10 over, it's the general publics snail's pace acceleration that we were mainly discussing.

I grew up in Corpus Christ Texas. I visit there often. I noticed the peeps there come to a full stop on feeders when they have a yield sign for exiting traffic. Well that cluster f's the deal. I never did that when I lived there. It's something that's taught by example and is typical now. We "go" in Houston and merge...that's what your suppose to do. Very frustrating!

People drive/accelerate slow all the time. I've noticed drivers of hybrid cars (Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, etc.) are the worst. Since their drive is so boring, they have to add excitement by squeezing as much mileage out of their car as possible.
