As trucks are governed to a Vmax of 90 kph, and some even to 85 kph, I would suggest you get your speedometer checked, because it sounds like the advancement, required by law, is too high. It shouldn't show more than 7% more than your actual speed. Truck speedos are more rigorously controlled and show an average of 2 kph too much at 80 kph, so trucks overtaking at 101 kph is not normally possible - of course, speedo manipulation does occur, but it isn't so rampant that they all overtake at 101 kph.

Okay, I never looked at a truck's speedometer. The point is they are overtaking just slightly faster.

It certainly feels like most trucks are going at least 90 km/h regularly.

Trucks also spent long stretches in the same order, sometimes they change things up.

The speeds of trucks are measured on-board by a tachograph, so any big deviation can give them a fine, even if they weren't caught on the spot.

And that 20 second delay really isn't gonna impact the trip as a whole. Just rolling with it will make your trip less stressful, and therefore more enjoyable. If you're late, rushing through traffic isn't gonna make a significant impact, except on your risk of accidents.

That is true. Therefore there shouldn't be a problem with drivers driving a steady speed in the middle lane.
