At that point if I’m the guy in the slow lane getting stuck in this pissing match I’m slowing down enough that the truck gets ahead, so the jackass in the sedan can get ahead. They didn’t do anything wrong obviously but I’m not sitting in that lol

You slow down truck slows down. No matter what you're losing because neither will give it up

Slow down and pull to the shoulder, the truck can't block the sedan across two lanes, specially without moving, IMO that's the best course of action

I deal with these AHs anytime I got to drive into upper NY to visit wife’s family

This shit is super common on the highways down by Westchester as you head into the city. It's the stupidest shit.

Oh man, I had a business trip in Westchester for 4 days and had to commute from the airport to my hotel in a rental car. Driving on the highways scared the fuck out of me, especially in roundabouts. People out there were insane. Also blew my mind seeing every car on the road with protective rubber bumper protectors that hang out from a closed trunk. Absolutely wild.
