Gee, I sometimes wish the roads were as flat and straight around here as
they are in that video. How fast were you going in the first part,
because a lot of drivers were passing you.

Interesting. You kept passing and being passed by the same vehicles--for
example that asshole LLB in the Honda mini-SUV. Why?

Anyway, what Dave will learn from your video is that the best strategy
is to stick to the left lane. It is obviously less work.

what i see is a bunch of city drivers cruising in the country.
passing and being passed. usually when i get in a
pack like this, i take a chance, pick up the pace
a bit and leave them behind.

and you were ducking into the right hand lane
too many times. creating all kinds of traffic
turbulence and risk. as for passing that flatbed
on the right at the 1 minute mark, well, we all do
it but we shouldn't brag about it.

How is returning to the right lane creating "traffic turbulance and
risk?" Keep in mind that the video is recorded at a lower frame rate
and that makes things look a lot faster than they actually are.

Besides, by returning to the right lane, people were able to pass him on
the left. Did you notice anyone in the video passing the driver on the
right?

Not to worry, I tried to call up the file but the page wouldn't
load.

Do you mean the one with the two flags on top that appeared at about
1:45 or so and exited the road at about 3:50? I noticed him and the
white Econoline van during that time frame. I'm sure that there were
others that I messed, those two just stuck out to me for some reason.

Such light traffic..... If only to see such an open road around here....

Thanks for the ride. Two questions: 1) What highways were you on when
you took this footage? and 2) What is the artist/title of the first song
in the film (the one that went "Its my turn to drive...")?

the song is called "driven" by the band "Rush"
