Actually, it would depend entirely on you. You've got your lane, you can
always slow dow. I won't pass a semi unless either traffic in my lane is
moving quite a bit faster than the semi or there is no traffic next to the
semi. Let up on the hot foot a bit, I'll bet you notice that you aren't
currently getting there anyfaster.
