Auestion for the Truck Drivers Out There (about passing)

[Jus Monkeyin Around]

Pass me on the left and stay in my mirror for as long as you can motorcycles are hard to see.

I am sure glad you fellas thought to post this information. I think it is really good to know what the truckers are thinking.

Thanks,

I used to drive trucks (you call 'em tractors) interstate with my husband, Alan year's ago. He is still driving the dang things after more than 40 years!! I agree with the helpful things said here -- but if you are over here PASS ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

Alan drives a road train, which is tractor and three long trailers -- now they are fun to pass (not)

I was waiting for you to chip in on this one Annie.

Not only do we pass (overtake) on the right side but when we do it's usually a trucker who is sitting on or below the speed limit. Damn, it's hard to get around some of them when you're in the back blocks. Good way to save on fuel though. Get in the slipstream, put her into neutral, turn the motor off and get sucked along!! (Joke Jan!)
