Reply to comment by PalPubPull in I know this isn't only Springfield, but it's at least 30% of you all. Can you please stop tailgating by PalPubPull

I drove that many years to and from Monett. Other than Billings PD controlled areas, it's the wild west on that road. Do what you're doing. If someone is being dumb, back down to the exact speed limit. All you can do. Just don't speed up in the passing lane.

Absolutely agree. The speed limits don't help my case though.

They always raise from 50 to 60 mph like two seconds before it turns to a passing lane, and I always feel like any driver who isn't aware of that just thinks I'm speeding up to prevent them from passing rather than matching the speed limit.

I almost feel like Republic to Aurora is some weird social experiment trying to make commuters angry. Billings is a wild horse. 60mph to 45 mph to 30mph to 45mph to 60mph in like a 1/2 mile. Never traveled a highway similar to it personally.
