Too many childish ass steering wheel holders on the road today. I’m old school driver CRAP LIKE THIS TRUCKING WILL NEVER BE LIKE IT USE TO BE!!!!! I guess he got upset because the driver wanted to come around and continue on his journey. But not only the big trucks four wheelers too. I see a lot of silly drivers do( doing the speed limit or sometimes a little under) speed up once we start to pass what sense does that make? Dumb Azz notice we get back behind them, then slow down again. That’s how the road rage start!! Why interfere will a driver doing his job? I have no control over how fast, or slow you want to drive. I have a chance to pass and keep on by my business I have the right to do so. Like I mentioned before too many childish azz people on illegal meds behind the wheel I’m guessing.
