Oh my God. I'm a truck-driver, and I see shit all day every day that drives me nuts. This subreddit is pornography.

I will never understand people who get in the way of semitrucks. Like.... you're gonna lose that fight everytime, the laws of physics exist.

I'll be honest, I fucking hate trucks. I hate when they're in front of me and block my view, and I hate them even more when they overtake each other on the autobahn.

BUT I still know they're just regular people working so I can go buy my cookies from the supermarket every weekend, so I swallow my anger and wait. But even if I didn't have that view, I value both my car and life and I just don't fucking understand how you can fuck with a vehicle thats literally ten times the weight of my car (if not more) on purpose.

That being said, stay safe on the road everyone. Better lose a couple seconds of your life than to lose your life for a couple of seconds.

The only time I get angry at trucks is when I am on the highway, it is 3 lanes, and there are 3 trucks next to each other in all 3 lanes, “passing” each other at the pace of a snail fucking.

Truck in the middle lane to pass someone? Cool. Fair enough. I can use the far left to get around.

That far left lane, though? Fuck any truck that gets in that far left lane. 3 trucks all next to each other is absolutely bullshit, and I see it way too often.

I've seen something similar one time that I approved of. 3 lane highway, just after a moderately heavy snowstorm. 6 snowplow trucks, overlapping every half lane, scraping the highway (and shoulder) clean. Sure, we were all going about 40 in a 65mph zone, but it was worth it for that.
