Personally when I'm in my cage I try to stay in front of the loud pipe guys. Simply because getting stuck behind them is so loud and annoying. While I would never cut one off to get ahead of one, other drivers probably do, and I don't even blame them. You can be safe without being obnoxious. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
