yes, yes they do feel the same way about trucks. i drive a truck for a living and the suicidal things cars do in front of me is amazing. it takes my truck between two to three times the distance to stop as most cars. do you know how often they pull ahead of me and quickly slow down or pull in front of me in traffic giving me no where to turn or stop or wile i am changing lanes they cut me off. it is by the grace of god that i haven't killed any one yet. and yet i know that it is only a matter of time before i roll over some fool that didn't give me enough distance to stop killing them.
The general opinion of the educated idiots on our roads is that trucks dont belong on them either, hell there are people in wyoming that want a dedicated route built for trucks to replace Interstate 80 across wyoming, never mind that trucks outnumber cars on I-80 at pretty much any time and already pay for the upkeep of the interstate with road use taxes (that car drivers dont have to pay).
And of course the car drivers complain to no end when a jackknifed/overturned tractor-trailer blocks the interstate because of some idiotic car driver who cut off said truck causing the accident.
