Everyone slows down and you kind of take turns. Delivery trucks on a 2 lane road creates one way traffic around them. Be prepared to stop, but if your line is going, then go. Cars should not be expected to blindly follow a UPS truck and stop every 10 feet. You go around when you see a gap, and those approaching should slow and be aware that some cars might be taking their opportunity to overtake the delivery truck.

Like, work together. Stop classifying drivers as asshats for no reason! Do you expect a line of 20 cars to stay behind a mail truck forever?!?

Some ppl lack critical thinking, and problem solving skills to see that far ahead into their future when driving.

Very true. You’d think you’d use a little planning when throwing your car and whole body into oncoming traffic though. Oh well.

I mean you're the one in here asking if you should stop every 10 feet for 5 miles while you wait for a UPS truck to turn onto a different road.

That’s not what I’m asking man. I’m talking about people going full speed into the oncoming lane, instead of slowing down a tiny bit for one or two cars to pass and waiting till it’s clear. Just assuming that oncoming traffic will slow down, so you don’t have to slow down at all, when it’s your lane that’s blocked.

Same with garbage trucks! I was stuck in a line cause this person didnt want to pass the garbage truck. Finally the car in front of me said fuck this and passed the other driver and garbage truck and everyone did the same thing and pass both vehicles, including a school bus behind me.

I expect people to follow common sense traffic rules and wait until the oncoming lane is clear enough to drive around the stopped vehicle. I do it, every single time. I’m not talking about a traffic jam, I’m talking about people going 45 into the oncoming lane also doing 45, instead of waiting 5 seconds.
