Several years ago, James and I were returning from the farm. I was driving our 95 Dodge dually, 1 ton and pulling my 25 ft+ aluminum horse trailer. I don't remember how many horses I had loaded.
We came up on a semi pulling an oversized piece of farm equipment that stuck out on both sides. They had a hard time on the hills and picked up some speed going downhill.

I made sure I put plenty of distance between us before I moved back to the right lane and slowed to my normal traveling speed when pulling the big trailer.
There is no doubt in my mind he did it on purpose.
