Trucker Warren, From The Begining

The thing that bugs me is when someone sits right off your left tail. I turn my blinker on so that they will go. Some times this backfires and they will slow down to let me over. Now I know that they are just being courteous and I appreciate it, but I am talking about situations where it is obvious that they should go. Like when they have been there for 10 miles.
And I am only talking about the open road, not in town. In town if my blinker is on, it either means I want to get over or I forgot to turn it off, opps.

The other thing is when you are trying to set the cruise control to 68mph and the speed limit is 75 and some guy in a car sits in front of you and speeds up and slows down, you start trying to pass him, inching your way by and a slight hill comes up. You start to fall behind and you are blocking traffic. DAMNIT, you fall back behind the guy who is now going a bit faster then you, you set your cruise and next thing you know, you are on his butt again. I have to keep 9 seconds of following distance between me and him. So I slow down to increase the distance. Next thing you know, you are doing 60 and here he comes again. You speed up to try to pass and the whole darn thing starts all over again. Sometimes I just want to pull over and let him go.
Anyway, it's not really that big a problem, a friend was asking me if I had become desensitized to crazy drivers and what bothered me out there on the road. So I thought it would be good reading.
