I have that happen in the car, late at night, and get trapped until the passing truck finally makes it. I think "Wow, buddy, you get to go 2 more miles per hour than the truck you're passing".bike wrote:like to zip between trucks at night when some convoy hero blocks the fast line to overtake his buddy at 1mph. Lights off, down 2 gears, blast down that (very narrow) rubber road to freedom. Gives them good ole trucker boys a fright. Get away with it too, its fun
Being on the two wheeler is handy. When I was riding once, there was a group of cars ahead of me, and this limousine at the front brakes hard for something and the poor schmuck behind him doesn't notice and slams into him. Of course, both lanes come to a halt, but before anyone starts opening doors and getting out, I zip up the middle and get outta there. Seeya!
I never did like splitting lanes in regular traffic, though, I was paranoid--I'd only do it if it was a total backup.
