Yeah, some of the guys don't show alot of courtesy, that's for sure. Works both ways though. The things are governed to about 70 +-, so it can be frustrating at times, between the vehicles that do "the speed limit" and the ones doing 80+, it's hard to blend in, plus you always stick out like a sore thumb. Added to this is that everyone thinks the worse fate on the Interstate is to get stuck behind a bus, which I know isn't pleasant. Myself, I try to get along, but sometimes it's tough going when no one wants to "meet you half-way". So far in the past year I've had 2 "bad" driving reports (800 number on the back of the bus) and 1 "good" one. Most people don't care much one way or another and we don't get many calls. I try to at least make sure I won't slow too many people down by trying to pass a slowpoke. The problem is you'll come up on someone and want to pass, it'll be clear and you'll take the left lane, then the car you want to pass will speed up, and/or someone doing 80+ will come up behind you when you're out in the left lane. Like I say, real frustrating.
