I don't know. They just passed a law here in colorado that says if you are driving below the speed limit and there are 5 are more cars behind you, you have to pull off the road and let them pass. Of course this is only on 2 lanes. I think people really hate slow drivers in this state. The speed limit on I-70 is 75, the speed limit on I-25 through Denver was recently increased by 10 mph, since no one was going the speed limit, and we have another law that you cannot remain in the passing lane on a 4+ lane road if you drive below the speed limit.

Slow drivers are nothing compared to getting behind a huge agriculture device that goes no faster than 10mph on a two lane federal highway and vehicles piling up behind it for half a mile with no where to pass.

Yeah, it bugs me to get behind a combine or large tractor as well. I live in farm country and it happens alot. However, I do like to eat and there just trying to make a living and have to get from point A to point B. There not holding up traffic unpurpose, there just trying to do there job. We as a country are allways in a hurry to go no where anyway. I'm just glad there are still tractors to get behind as they are growing food to help feed the world and even make fuel. "God bless the american farmer"!!!!!!

They have a law now in MD called the "campers law", where if you are in the left lane of a four lane highway and going as-fast or slower than the traffic in the right lane, you are susceptable to a $200 fine. The authorities say "The amount of congestion will be significantly reduced and road rage will gradually subside". Uh huh. These MD *******es will still do it.

I never get mad getting stuck behind a farmers machine, Its his JOB!. And as far as being behind slower vehicles, I would rather follow tractor trailer doing the speed limit or just above than some cellphone jabbering woman in a honda that wants to do 80mph, while weaving around like drunk in her lane until she overtakes the next vehicle in front of her and slams on her brakes!

Yes I do!
But sad thing is, there are no fields on this section of highway, all hills. Now get in the "delta" part of the state(actually the great Mississippi Alluviual (sp?)Plain), you find fields of cotton mostly, some corn and some soybeans.
But nothing around here!

I don't mind that so much- what I DO hate is when I'm headed out toward where I used to live (Dad still lives out there) during the late summer...I come around a corner doing 60 and there's a tractor with a hay baler on it doing 10. Talk about an oh sh.. moment sometimes...

Being from the snow-belt, driving in the snow is always interesting. I'll be going "fast enough" for conditions and sudden be passed by some AWD SUV. Then about a mile up the highway, they'll be in a ditch and facing the wrong direction. Getting a 4WD or an AWD out of a skid is tougher than when running in only 2 wheel drive.
