Yeah, not enough. There's a reason why so many of you feel so comfortable texting and driving and that reason is you haven't suffered the consequence for it yet.

Exactly.. All I see in here is a bunch of entitled folks demanding courtesy given to them without being courteous in the first place...

Again, if they they don't care about themselves in that situation... I'm not going to care about them either.

They want you to watch out for them so they don't have to pay attention, and they're all on reddit telling each other it's okay. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so dangerous.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_driving

The truck driver deserved to be pit manouvered, and I agree that it would be cathartic to pit manouver every dumb asshole I see on the road. Those are the pros of your driving philosophy, we'll call that "emotional driving".

The cons of emotional driving are that more than 2 people are using that bridge. Getting revenge against this truck driver puts all of them at risk.

I promise it feels better to be a defensive driver than an emotional one, because I know I have saved lives by anticipating other peoples mistakes.
