  1. A situation in which one truck tries to overtake another at a slightly higher speed, blocking the road for passenger car drivers behind.
    — The faster trucker often feels forced to get out of their lane to maintain speed, but this causes an elephant race. At a difference of 3-5 MPH, it might take several minutes before the faster driver has both passed the slower truck and moved far enough ahead to get back in their lane.
