Trucker's Viral Advice: Simple Courtesy Can Solve Highway Overtaking Frustrations
**Truck Driver Advocates for Improved Overtaking Etiquette on Highways**A recent social media video by truck driver ablaslo_mtrucker has sparked discussion among motorists regarding highway overtaking etiquette, particularly concerning large vehicles. In the video, uploaded on February 9, 2023, the driver addresses common complaints about the perceived slowness of trucks during overtaking maneuvers."How many times have we complained about this?" she asks, referring to the extended time it takes for a truck to pass another. She argues that the issue often lies not with the overtaking truck, but with the driver being overtaken. "Many times it's more the fault of the one being overtaken," she states.The truck driver explains that while trucks are speed-limited and cannot suddenly accelerate, other drivers can significantly facilitate the process. "It costs nothing to lift your foot off the accelerator for a moment to let your colleague pass," she advises. She emphasizes that this simple act of courtesy allows for a quicker, safer overtake and helps maintain fluid traffic flow, preventing congestion. "You won't lose time and you will arrive at exactly the same time, at the same place," she asserts, encouraging a cooperative approach to road sharing. The video has garnered significant attention, prompting a conversation about shared responsibility on the road.
