They don't want to be behind the truck, buth then they are unwilling to actually pass truck. Now we have a rolling road block slowing down all traffic.

But why are they bad drivers? The times of my commute means they can still drive in the near lane of a 4 lane divided highway, and see far down the road. Yet they don't. Psychology is a factor but it isn't the sole explanation.
