Avoid being a d-bag forever

I live in Montana, and as such we have periodic large hills and mountain passes along the littering of interstates and highways we have in our state. Now, driving on passes is pretty simple, but for those people in the world who have never dealt with driving in the mountains and are visiting Montana they can be a little scary and uncomfortable causing said people to be intolerable douches. Making it over a mountain pass when the weather's good goes thusly.

1. About a half mile to a mile before the main part of the pass slam the gas to give yourself a decent head start.

2. Pass any bitches that will slow you down and cause you to lose your momentum.

3. The end.

This system works great under most circumstances. There are a couple of rules to driving a mountain pass, however, that are self explanatory enough that even most of the reasonable tourists figure out within a span of 5 seconds.

1. Don't cockblock cars moving faster than you by getting into the hammer lane in front of them with your slow ass on the way up the hill.

2. Don't pass Semi's that are trying to pass slower semis on the way down the big hills. Semis are way harder to slow down than small cars so it's rude and dangerous. Angels cry when you do this.

I usually have a lot of sympathy for truck drivers when it comes to passes. Passes are sucky for them even in the best of driving conditions so I forgive a lot of their bullshit when it comes to this. Usually they have to trudge up the hill with their flashers on then hang on for dear life on the way down. This is just the way it works. What I refuse to tolerate is when a semi breaks the cardinal rule. Don't cockblock cars moving faster than you on the way up the hill.

It's a pretty obvious rule of the road that you let people driving faster than you pass before you pass if at all possible. This should be doubly fucking obvious on a patch of difficult road. Truck drivers do this every day of their lives as a profession so when they're not only breaking a cardinal driving rule but on a treacherous piece of road it's totally unacceptable. It isn't particularly difficult to understand, but I will lay it out for those drivers who may have trouble with the idea.

p.s. my mother has been talking incessantly for the past 3 hours so concentration when writing this has been about zero. I will also blame this for any unfunny that you have been subjected to for the duration of this post :)
