Re: Why is it.................?

Totally agree. Friday evening is normally the worst for it - changing lanes onto cars on the freeway when there's not enough room, running red lights, and pulling out when it's not clear to do so.... but last Thursday took the cake - had one pull out of a T from a side road, onto an 80km/h rural arterial, in front of me going 1 way, and another car coming the other. I still don't know how I managed to steer down the broken bitumen & gravel shoulder & pull up beside the slowly rolling rear axle of the truck without wrecking a rim or going bush.
And it wasn't like he was still rolling into the T intersection and had speed on to pull around - he'd been stopped for a good 10 seconds or more that I'd seen him, but just thought "F-you, I'm pulling out" and then it was how the F do I wash off 80km/h and avoid this fool.
The only reason I had to go around that way was because the road I normally take was blocked - one of his cohorts also in a tip & dog had splattered a car who couldn't pull up in time to avoid ploughing into the side of the dog trailer after he turned right in front of him.
I bet they're all big & tough in the truck, but when they get home they hand their balls to their wife.....
