as a semi driver, this is one of my favorite rant subjects!! i love it when a smaller vehicle passes me, then jumps in front of me & slams on their brakes so that they can make a turn or take an off-ramp...it's sort of like having paddles to the heart to get it jump-started...i also enjoy it when smaller vehicles taigate me, since i can't actually see them back there & if i had to stop very quickly, they would rear-end me...any idea how much of a compact car will fit up under a semi-trailer in that situation? then there are the drivers who can't slow down in order to allow me to pass a slower vehicle going uphill, because after all, it will take them a few seconds to get back up to speed & i'm taking away at least a minute or two of their busy lives that they will never get back... as for the comment about drivers who take it way too seriously, it can be deadly serious...anyone who doesn't understand that they are propelling a multi-ton lethal weapon down the road needs re-training...i spend each & every day preventing people from committing suicide on the roads, using my big truck as their weapon... rant concluded.....
