Yeah I don't want to be behind the truck even if he's going a good speed due to poor visibility on what's ahead, debris and rocks slamming into my paint and windshield and if their a big hill coming he'll probably be gearing down.
I get that and, even in a truck, I don't either. (Do you know how many windshields I've had replaced? Lol.)
I was speaking more on people that don't want to go faster. They just need to be infront of the truck. Then, once they're infront of the truck, they slow back down. It's a common phenomenon and it's really frustrating for us.
We have a saying for it (at least in the US) "Nothing wakes a four wheeler up faster than a truck stepping into the left lane; And not a moment sooner."

Oh yeah you're absolutely right, I forgot about that. I've noticed this as well. They pass you and then go slow. Why? They have no respect and no clue how hard it is to drive a big semi. Now you're forced to pass them and then they speed up sometimes as well.
