Being I have and use a Class A CDL and therefore am allowed NO judicial forgiveness/slack in court for ANY moving traffic violation, no matter what vehicle I am driving, it's become very noticeable that merely driving the speed limit in the right (slow) lane is highly offensive to many, and I have much greater concern with road rage and/or breathing rolled coal than any tire mileage gains which are way down on the list.
