    Truck driver have timelines. It is totally okay, if they need to occupy the middle lane. Sometimes even the left lane. It is more rare then middle lane sitters.

    But what is not okay is that the cultural habit of “don’t clog” has forgotten. People are ignorant shits these days when entering cars.

    If you decide to travel via 100 kph and do not want to flow with the traffic, then just stick to the right lane and flow with the trucks?! This way you have the most fuel savings as well.

        Truck drivers are running a commercial operation, I shouldn’t have to be inconvenienced so they can more easily make money - especially not when that inconvenience is caused by them not following the rules of the road.

        It is about the person sitting inside the ferry. Once you work together with drivers you will change your attitude torwards them immediately. They working conditions are very difficult. Especially when they are crossing jurisdications/states.

        When I am driving I have no problems eith truck drivers. They even help going onto the highway or mention radars.

        The people sitting in the middle are the problem. Most of them doesn’t even accelerate passing another middle-lane-sitter.

        Im driving for two decades. I did multiple years of disposition. I’m telling you: Middle sitters are the problem and responsible for most crashes on the autobahn.
