But a lot of drivers have no idea how to drive around 18 wheelers either, cut them off just to gain a car length ahead, when the 18 wheeler had to make an emergency stop which could be quite dangerous.

Damn, that's pretty scary. That's why I like to pass the semis and then move as far away from them as possible.

Yes I know first hand how stupid people can be around trucks! I drove transport for about 5 years and did almost a million Km in a transport! I saw allot of dumb *** moves from cars and yes even some other transports too. I'm not saying that truck drivers are better but they do spend allot more time on the road than most other people do.
If you think about it your car is what like under 3000 Lbs right? Now in the states they can't haul near as much but I did allot of heavy loads. I most of the time loaded was somewhere around 100,000 to 125,000Lbs! Now when you cut a truck off too get that one second faster trip, just think what will happen if they don't see you or just can't stop in time! That extra space that a truck has in front of it is so if something goes wrong they just might have the distance too do something in time.
Hell I remember the firs time I did a load of gas (yes the stuff you put in your car) I was driving from Toronto too Huntsville and was almost there when my Brother in the transport in front of me was passing a car and I was following him and passing it too. So we get by the car and both pull in when this stupid idiot following me I guess was mad that we took too long and pulled in between us and slammed on his brakes on in front of me. First off there was not enough room for him too get in there even. Second I think that was a huge dumb thing too do, since I had about 39,000 liters of gas in my trailer and my Brother in from of me had around 62,000 lites in his truck! Now that being said it would have been one hell of a bang!
I have seen many stupid things on the road thats one of the reasons I got out of driving transport! Too many people talk down too you and think bad of you as well. When most truck drivers are just trying too make a living in a thankless job. I just think that more people should be a bit more understanding and let a truck in when he needs too move over a lane or is trying too get onto the Hwy unlike seeing the signal and speeding up so he can't move over. You can tell me till your blue in the face that people don't do that and I will still laugh in your face about it because the do like 75% of the time!
Sorry about the big rant but I just hate the fact that people are always down on trucker's! They all are just like you and me all trying too live and do their job and go home in one piece at the end of the day!
