"Respect" for the truck versus the car on the road

its sometimes true here if you stay out in the country, but once you go into the city everyone thinks you're that big slow truck and just have to get by you. they'll zip up by you, cut you off, then slam the brakes

Yeah, I like watching the steam come out of their ears - nothing like a pissed off tree hugger in a rusted out toyota crapola trying to get by when there's no where for them to go even if they do - half the time they're so close that I can't even see the bastards in the mirror.

Whats blatantly obvious around here is the complete lack of respect for anyone else on the road from other drivers no matter what you drive. If they want to be in your lane they will whether youre in it or not, if they wasnt to be in front of you they will pull right out now matter how fast youre coming up on them. They want to keep there brights on at night? Sure.. who cares about anyone else.

My wife drives a 99 Explorer and people would pull out in front of her and do 10under the limit. She says when she drove the 05 screw these same people would get up to speed real quick when they saw it in there mirrors.

I've had people start changing lanes right into me to where I had to slam the brakes multiple times this week. Most of the problem is little sorority girls in their BMWs and Mazdas that zip around in traffic or blow through traffic lights.
