Seen this happen way tooooooooooo many times but in the opposite way
Hubby is a truck driver, has been for 23 years, and is a damned good driver
I have been with him on numerous occassions where car drivers think its their god given right to pull out, or in, in the path of a truck, just because they feel they can, or feel they are faster and can get away with it, often crossing 3 lanes just to get to an off ramp first,and because they couldn't be bothered getting into the right lane in time, and very often that will lead to a wagon having to either slam on, or veer out into another lane, but who ALWAYS gets the blame, the truck driver
Yes I do agree there are bad truck drivers out there, but there are thousands, if not millions more bad car drivers
There are so many more laws and regulations that truck drivers have to adhere to, yet people still want their things delivered on time etc, yet wont give a truck the right of way at times
OK rant over
