Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Sure, passing on the right because people won't get out of the left. It's a ticketable offense in NH now.

Maybe they should enforce the "Keep right except to pass" law instead.

I believe that it was Moss who said that in his state if somebody comes up behind you the law is to move over, no matter how fast you are travelling. I think about this every time that I'm on the interstate. I probably would step on the gas instead... which is what I normally do until I find a hole to pull into.

I’m not going to say it’s “wrong,” but it scares the hell out of me just looking at it.

Is that a fifth wheel pulling the second trailer or a motor home? Jon

Based on the taper on the skirt going up 8m going to guess mororhome. I think I saw mudflaps too, which are uncommon on a trailer.

I think dad's fifth wheel had a full width mud flap because he pulled his boat behind it. But that unit looks closer to the ground. Jon

Looks fine - except if it's a long haul on bumpy roads there's a chance that the 4x4's could migrate; if one goes sideways 8" or so it could drop down and suddenly not only is the 4x4 loose but the culvert is unsecured. For the likely distance though I'd do it the same way; for longer distances I'd lash the 4x's to the side rails separately.

Did it make any interesting sounds driving along?

Never figured this out, but if you are driving between Seattle and Tacoma in Washington State the rules are reversed. The fast lane is the Right lane and the slow lane is the Left lane. It is the only place in the US, I've ever seen this as a common convention. Every time I get past Olympia, I have to remind myself that the driving rules are going to get flipped.

I have driven that many times and never heard that. Is there a sign on the road saying that? I know south of Tacoma where the right side exists are to Joint Base Lewis-McChord I stay out of the those lanes in the morning heading south since all the "fighter plots" are gunning for the exits as they "are late to work".

Is that why they do that? It drives me nuts. They come up so that their right front corner is by my left wheel and ride there for miles... until I overtake a slower vehicle. At that point they will s-l-o-w-l-y speed up just enough to block me from pulling out.

I have driven several different ACC vehicles, none would pace a car in the adjacent lane. And none would pace a car in front as close as many drive manually.

For decades I have noticed many in the left lane seem to be afraid to pass, they come up and pace in my blind spot before creeping ahead. To prove they are pacing me I bump my CC down 1 or 2 MPH. So I know they are doing it.

That's when some get up and go is handy. Bump it to 100 and give yourself a bit breathing room and see if they want to catch up again.
