Yesterday driving home from work, i'm in a 55mph zone going 55 in the right hand lane (6 lane divided, 3 each direction). A Suburban passes me like i'm stopped cuts in front of me, passes a couple more cars, cuts into the middle lane, etc until he is lost in the sea of cars. I keep meandering along at 55mph, I get off my exit about 4 miles later, go through 3 intersections and there is the suburban stopped at the red light 1 car ahead of me.

All the swerving, accelerating, hard breaking, accident causing maneuvers and the guy got 20ft ahead of me. I have to say it really made me laugh, but that's the way people are around this area.

such sweet revenge.. I've noticed the same thing happening all the time to me also , get passed only to pull up to a light next to the same car..

Since years in France, trucks are constructing "walls" in the right lane of free/highways and you may miss your exit if you can't go into the right lane soon enough. This is more noticeable Sunday night when all trucks are allowed again on roads, only some are allowed during week-ends.
