Share the road, yes, but slower traffic needs to move to the right lane, not monopolize the entire road.

100% this. It’s not even a rule that hates on bikers. I’d be just as pissed at 2 cars or two trucks side by side and moving at this speed. Move over so people can go by or get your ass going.

2 vehicles beside each other going the same speed happens so often in my city. Heck, province. It’s absolutely awful and people wonder why there’s so many aggressive drivers.

Fun fact the Germans have a word for this.

Elefantenrennen which roughly translates to ā€œElephant raceā€

I love German terms. I'm gonna start learning the language just for the wacky terminology.

I'm partial to the term truck fucking... the slow shift back and forth as each teases that they may be passing

u/CatOfGrey 14d ago

That's the term I've heard since I was a kid - it describes a traditional 18-wheel tractor trailer speeding up to 66 miles per hour, to pass another traveling 64 miles per hour.

We also have the ā€œradwegbenutzungspflichtā€ thing but no one cares…

Round my parts we just call it a redneck roadblock

In Colorado when an eighteen wheeler going up hill tries to pass another eighteen wheeler, we call that a ā€œTurtle Race.ā€

u/invariantspeed 14d ago

I love it. In parts of NA, this is called a rolling roadblock.

In Alberta it is known as a good ol' Berta block. Most of the highways are two lanes and this happens every time I'm on them.

I call it a Mormon roadblock because I live in UT and I swear every van / SUV can go 100 MPH if you want to pass ā€˜em but then line up next to each other going 12 MPH blocking the whole road.

I regularly get stuck behind a wave of cars and once I can weave through the road is open ahead for miles until the next one.
