Usually, I ignore 'em. Sometimes I vary my speed by 1-2 mph in 5-10
second intervals. Drives 'em nuts.


LOL, I'm going to try that next time. I also get the problem (especially in
california) where the driver will catch up quicky to you and then not pass
but tailgate.

That's the CA roadblock. The nutzoids feel they're accomplishing
*something* by driving so close together that 4-wheelers hesitate to
move between them. I see their point, I just disagree with the
technique.

I think the main problem is wages.

Don't forget to start paying drivers by the hour.

I've thought about that, ISTM that it would be too difficult to come up
with a standard and too many drivers would try to take advantage of the
system. ISTM that most drivers aren't all that smart, but not so
stupid they couldn't devise a half million ways to steal from their
employer using an hourly.

Yep. But at least hourly pay might slow some of these clowns down.
They'd gladly drive the minimum speed limit to run up those hours. And
if companies paid hub miles you'd have some bozo in a Wal Mart parking
lot driving around in circles for hours to increase his mileage.
