Many problems occur because of motorists’ desperation to pass a big truck.  If you, as a large truck, perform a pass and do not return to the right lane fairly quickly, chances are that the traffic will begin to pass you on your right side.  This is a dangerous practice, but happens constantly.  One must assume that most cars just do not have any idea how risky and dangerous this can be.  To guard against this, signal early and return to the right lane as soon the moment it is safe to do so.

  If you catch yourself “spacing off,” and realize you have allowed space for vehicles to enter on your right, be very careful that no one has snuck into your blind spot. 

 

In some situations, other motorists become absolutely determined to get around you, even if it means taking a shoulder.  This is more common in construction zones or in any other situation where traffic is backed up and moving slowly, such as your basic, everyday traffic jam.
