Why Do Drivers Slow Down Next to Semis? My Highway Head-Scratcher

Every time I drive on my usual highway, I notice something odd: cars that are already cruising at 75-80 mph suddenly slow down when passing a semi going 65. They end up riding alongside the truck for way too long, causing a backup behind them—including me! I always wonder, why not just pass quickly and keep the flow going? Personally, I never feel comfortable lingering next to a big rig. My tip: stay alert, pass safely, and don’t hang out in a truck’s blind spot. Have you noticed this too? What’s your take on it?
