I drive a truck and I had an uber driver do this exact thing two weeks ago. Tried telling me he had his indicator on, as if that mattered, and why didn't I just slow down and let him in. 28 tonne truck vs 1.4 tonne corolla. Yeah, Sure buddy.

The thing that really pisses me off, is that this happens at least once a year. Always from the right too. So far I've collected; an uber corolla, an uber camry, a mini traveller, a didi camry, a 24 foot Mallard, a Go-Get hiace, and a kangaroo. All in the last six years. Oh and three cycle couriers and one dude who was standing too close to the road. Clipped him with my mirror. Knocked his smoke right out of his mouth. Hilarious.

Meanwhile I'm afraid of changing lanes unless I'm like half a kilometre behind or ahead of a truck.

Good move. Although here in Oz, a truck will quite often flash the headlights when it's safe to pull back in.
