I once had an 18 wheeler intentionally try to run me off the road for 15-20 miles on the Interstate. He'd try to box me in, then get beside me and try to swap lanes into me. With a car, I could always out maneuver him. He even followed me off when I came to my exit and didn't give up until I hit a dirt road about 70 mph.
Funny part was, I was just sitting in the right lane with my cruise set on the speed limit minding my own business when he started after me. I have no idea what set him off.
Another time, I was also in the right lane minding my own business when an 18 wheeler decided to sit literally less than a foot off my back bumper. There wasn't that much traffic that he couldn't have easily passed me. Again, I have no idea what caused him to do that. I'd speed up, and he was right there again. This went on for several miles until we topped a rise and a came onto a smokey hanging paper on a four wheeler. Instantly, the 18 wheeler was a couple hundred yards behind me. My exit came up about a mile farther on.
Truck drivers bit*h incessantly on the CB about 4 wheelers, but there are some real crazies in those trucks.
They bit*h constantly about driving down a nice wide Interstate. They need to shut the he11 up till thay have something to bit*h about. I once drove a Marine Corps semi on Taiwan. There it was all two lane roads and you'd just get rolling good when some old papa-san with an ox cart would pull out in front of you. If you splattered him, it was your butt and he knew it. He was probably hoping you would splatter him so you could support him the rest of his life.
Didn't mean to sermonize, but that's my rant for the day.
