It’s interesting you say that, cause in the last few years I’ve noticed more and more trucks that never exit the left lane. They can be the only vehicle on the road for a few hundred feet in either direction but they’ll still sit in the left, even when a car caravan catches up and is forced to pass them on the right.
It’s honestly the most egregious in a few sections of highway I drive where there are “Left lane js for passing only” signs every few hundred feet (literally every 10-20 seconds driving).
Really? I’ve seen pretty much no semi trucks in the left lane. In fact, it’s illegal in my area on highways with more than 2 lanes for big rigs to be in the left lane.
I just did a big road trip (800+ miles one way, ~2000 miles total) and only had to pass a big rig on the right once, and that was my fault because I didn’t see the truck pulled off to the side of the road that they were giving space to.
I see a lot of pickup trucks, big SUVs, and minivans camping in the left lane, but that’s not what I’m talking about.
I know what you mean, but yeah, in the Midwest I’ve been seeing more and more semis camping the left lane all the time. It’s gotten really bad for my road trips.
