I normally try to avoid driving close to a truck. I know they need more room to maneuver a corner or more time to stop or speed up. What gets me though is when I am driving the speed limit and they get on my tail when there is no way they are going to be able to pass due to traffic or terrain. Many times I have sailed on past my intended turn because I know the trucker will be blasting his horn and giving me the finger if I signal, slow down and make a perfectly legal turn. Had it happen last summer and my son in law who was traveling behind the truck asked me what I did to make the trucker mad.

I know a car would pull into that space but that is not excuse for the trucker to not obey the law. Just because a car driver is an idiot doesn't mean it gives the trucker a free pass.
