Got that right! My last truck was limited at 65. I decided to pass a car that was running about 60, I was at 65. I get next to him, and he decided to speed up to about 64.5 as my front bumper got to about even with his rear bumper. Now I'm not making good progress on him anymore, and because the speed limit for cars is 75, and most of those idiots are running 80 mph, they fly up behind me and are coming up on the guy next to me so fast they stack up behind him, tailgating him, and I know there's at least 2 cars right behind me where I can't see them in my mirrors even. I'm committed now, it only takes about 20-30 seconds for this stuff to happen with a truck limited at 65, and the truck speed limit at 65 as well. I finally passed him about 3/4 of a mile later, by no fault of my own. I admit some truck drivers do stupid stuff, but far less than car and pickup drivers, of which MOST do stupid stuff. I wish these guys that think trucks drive like a car and have never driven one, would hook 160,000 lbs and 60' of doubles behind a tractor with a sleeper and drive it through Grand Rapids or Flint. I'm glad the truck I have now will run 73 mph if I need it to.
