It kind of annoys me that the article says the people trapped behind the trucks are just inconvenienced, but the truck driver gains time and money. Considering commuting to and from work is what most people are doing on the road, that is exactly time and money. It really could be seen as truck drivers stealing dozens, if not hundreds, of minutes from other drivers to give themselves 5 minutes.

People cut truckers a brake because due to the physics and rules they can only go so fast and only change speed so quickly.
The same cannot be said for the person camping the fast/passing lane because all the entering and exiting of the slow lane "is scary" or whatever. Their normal car can most definitely meet (and exceed) the expected norm for the lane they're traveling in.
