You're driving down the road in a regular-sized car, in the right hand lane, wanting to turn right at the light. The road has two lanes going each direction, no turning lanes. As you approach the green light, right in front of you is a 35 foot truck in the left side of the right lane with its right turn signal on. The truck is very slowly trying to negotiate a wide turn.

Thankfully I've never had to deal with this scenario, btu I learned from driving school not to f*ck with wide-turning semis. Easy way to get into a wreck.

TD are you ever changing your location, or is that staying with the Family Guy avatar?

People who mess in this situation deserve to be wrecked - the more expensive the car the better.

I hit the accelerator, try to squeeze by the turning truck and then spend 2 hours explaining to the cops how being an [censored] isn't against the law.

I wait and let the truck go. But that doesn't change the fact that like 90% of truck drivers drive like assholes.

OK, it may not be amusing at all. But I wanted to punch her when she said this to me. This is my friend's story to me.

Her: So I'm getting on to the highway. You know how on the ramp the left lane merges with the right lane?
Me: I think they merge together, but sure.
Her: Anyways. This old couple, in like a 1990 minivan, cut me off. So I beeped my horn. AND THEY FLIPPED ME OFF. So I flipped them off back, and they flipped me off back, so I flipped them off back. Then when we got on the highway, I passed them and cut them off. Then, I called the police and left an anonymous phone tip saying an old couple was driving recklessly and probably shouldn't have their licenses.
Me: ...

By the way. This is word for word. The 4 straight flipping offs were classic.

I agree somewhat. But most of the time, with how the unwashed masses drive around trucks, we have to do something pretty aggressive or we'll never get to change lanes.

Some dude the other day went around me on the rear side of my truck when I was trying to back into my driveway in an industrial neighborhood. Then he got all pissed off when I didn't stop. /images/graemlins/grin.gif
