I can say this is a post I've wanted to make for along time but never did as not all truckers are dicks. I hate trucks on the highway with a passion, slow, pushy aceholes that generally don't follow any rules of the road. If I had it my way, the trucks would only be allowed to travel at night and in one lane. As for the original topic of this thread, I've had the same thing happen tons from truckers and other motorists and the smile and wave has to be the biggest **** off!

smile and wave + blow a kiss does work, some lady cut me off, and i had to stomp on my brakes or i would have hit her right in the middle (drivers side) and so i tossed up the friendly hand and then her and her passenger both throwing me some kisses, and that fuken pissed me off even more (they were both at least 40) 
but ya...truckers are on my *** 24/7 it's fuken stupid, i'll try to go 10 over the speedlimit and there still on my ***, so what do i do i slow down to half the speed posted up on usually one lane roads....

I do it very often and it really does **** people off. If someone is riding me, i usually let them get fairly close, brake deep and watch their heart jump into thier mouth. Then, i slow down, to usually half of the limit. So, if im in a 40 doin 50 and someones riding me, I break and reduce to 20. Then just cruise, speeding up from time to time, letting them catch me, then back to slow. This is alot more effective on a road with one lane, but i am also guilty of doing this on a multiple lane road. If he changes lanes, i'll do the same, slow as ever. This may seem a bit extreme for some of you, but i drive ALOT downtown Toronto, usually half of my day is spent on the road. I HATE people on my a$$, especially when im already over the speed limit. Im sick of it.

I've seen people do some stupid stuff in front of 18 wheelers.... how do they not realize, if they collide, 18 wheels > 4 wheels. they'll get crushed. but at the same time, some of those guys are real ****ing ******.

I was cruising in the left hand lane with other cars and this idiot just came over with me in the middle. The car in front floored it while honking and the car behind me broke hard, I had nowhere to go except half on the grass/gully and half on the road. I'm lucky there was no wall otherwise I would have been rubbed out.

hey man... not to bring some **** up, but nobody ever looks at the other side of things... people think they are rushing because they are late, but in most cases that isn't whats going on...
you have to understand how to drive a truck and how much having a heavy load takes a toll on their acceleration and speed...
when those get up to 110, 120 with a full load, its not going any faster no matter how much gas you give it... so, if you drive slow and he has to brake then they just lost momentum and now they have to build it back up again...
haven't you ever been stuck behind a slow *** truck? well, thats cause someone cut them off or is drive like a pusshole in front of them... so, dicks they may be, but its the same frustrations you are having when people drive slow in front of you, but it doesn't take you 2 mins to get back from 90 to 110...
and imagine getting cut off all day cause someone slowed you down (whether you think the trucker is being an *** for riding you *** or not) and then the second you slow him down, he has like another 5 civics blow by him and in front of him... sometimes you have to look at it from the other side...
don't get me wrong, they **** me off too... so what do i do? i just stay out of their ****ing way... iits not like we drive crown vics here, our civics are quite capable of changing lanes without too much room. so why not just avoid them? then they are happy and we are happy becuase they aren't messing with you.

Why would you **** off someone who could crush you like a bug? What do you think is more safe... having to break hard when a transport is tailing you, or speeding up to move out of the way. As someone said in a previous post, 18 wheels > 4 wheels. Now you know how I feel when I am on my motorcycle... HAHA. When I see a transport, I get away as far and as fast as I can.

but exactly... you avoid them cause you are smart...
other idiots like to test their luck and slow the **** down... i hope you know that there has been enough **** in the news where people get rear-ended... most of the time, you don't hear about it cause its settled before its abig deal... these guys aren't paying their insurance, if i was a truck driver and someone pissed me off on the wrong day... i would ram their **** from behind.

LMAO... i totally agree with this... when i'm cruisin on the highway in my Sonoma, I try and stay on the right lane, but everyone gets on my ***! I find the middle lane is usually the best, and if a$$holes continue to ride me, I drop my truck and spark the **** outta their rides! I love having airride LOL
LOL

the main reason i hate the highways is because everytime i take it something happens. last two times for instance i had a shoe (yes a SHOE! i think a damn reebok pump) was kicked up by a lane next to me and hit my car while i was going 120, it ended up costing me a $400 USD front lip. second time i was the 407 and a transport kicked up a rock! omg a rock! the size of my fist none the less. and of all things it broke it only luckily broke my windshield wiper , nothing else not even the arm etc etc.
my poor car
my poor car
