What humor? I have crushed 5 cars in last 3 years. All were the fault of other drivers thinking they could "squeze" between my truck, and another solid object. So sorry, but when hauling 56000pounds+ and a car gets in your way? You grip the wheel tighter, and hope there are no kids in the car. Fact of life. And in no way do i risk myself, my truck, or my cargo for an idiot in a car thinking he has more rights then rest of traffic. I know all the laws, and how to bend them in my favor.. Even the police take the side of the trucker 90% of the time knowing how hard, and skilled you need to be for a big rig licence, compared to how easy it is for the average yahoo to get a cars driver licence.
So as i said above. Be very careful who's truck you cut off, as myself, and most other truck drivers know the laws, and how to bend them in our favor. In 24 years of driving, i have only felt bad for 1 fool, and that was cause he went flying over my hood while jay walking, while having a diabetic attack.
FACT! An 18 wheeler fully loaded takes 300+ feet to stop from 100KPH compared to average car of under 150 feet. You do the math next time you jump infront of a truck, and slam on the brakes.

Just.....what? Are you being serious right now?

EDIT: After fully reading your post, how many accidents have you been in? How many people have you killed? It's not even remotely funny bro. Slow down, and stop "bending laws in your favor". What the hell does that even mean?

Wow.. do you get a special bronze belt buckle for the number of people you kill? Most truckers take pride in the number of miles they travel or tonnage they haul, not the number of graves they fill. Go to hell.

Dead serious. I do not joke about what i have experianced, and what i have seen while driving. But i also do not feel sorry for fools who bring trouble down on themselves.
Ever consider how much patience the average truck driver pulling a 20-60000pound trailer in day to day traffic has over the average car driver thinking he can zip in and out of traffic to get somewhere 2 minutes faster has?
Or how much more driving exp someone doing 300-400000 KMs a year has over the average car driver?
And yet trucks have only 1 accident for every every 1000 car accidents on average.
And yet people wonder why i blow up sometimes here. Keeps me from losing it out there on highways. Disco=game=venting 0 hurt. Highway=real life=dead or injured people.

0 deaths. 0 accidents i was at fault at. 0 guilt. Clear drivers abstract, and C.V.O.R for over 15 years.

So if your in a bad mood you take out a compact car? Do you realize how stupid that sounds? Most teenagers don't even have the nonchalant attitude towards ruining other people's property at the very best, and much more at the very worst.
You know, I've been called the "nicest guy" on the server, and even I can't stand you after reading that junk....

Lives aren't games, guy.
You are right. So why put it,and others at risk by being an arse, and cutting off a vehical 10times your weight, and size? Just because you want to get ahead, or home 2 minutes faster?
Not saying i look for cars to crush, but i will not risk myself for tools, when i know i am safer in the bigger, stronger, heavier vehicle.
Just last week in Toronto where i live some 18year old in a acura cut off a big rig. The truck swerved to avoid, went into a concrete pillar of an over pass, and was killed as the 60000 pounds of pipe he was hauling crushed his cab, and leaving his wife a widow, and 3 kids fatherless.
Now tell me who is the more evil?
PS. The report also said the kid was texting, and missed his exit, so he cut accross 3 lanes of traffic.

Wait. Just wait.
Did the driver of the Acura cut off the semi driver KNOWING it would lead to his death? I highly doubt it.
It's called an accident. A tragic one to be sure, but an accident none the less.
People make mistakes. That's expected. Most of them don't brag about them on public forums, but to each his own I suppose.
Glad I'm not driving the same roads as you is all I can say.
