so why is there no daily complaint about some ignorant holding up 
traffic for 20 klms on the highway but trucks do the same thing and it's 
"oh those pill popping drugged up truckies causing traffic chaos should 
be banished to a left lane only"

so do all those car drivers who can, but don't, maintain the speed limit 
get the same, hardly, I bet there are far more cars doing it than trucks
too

All day every day, in fact the Companies I work for insist that we make 
extra allowances and wear the **** slung at us by the retards that we 
manage NOT to kill by making allowances for their ****ed driving

you've never see truck having to brake heavily for clowns who just "have 
to get past that truck", all too common, much more common than cars 
having to brake suddenly for trucks

So why do you thing they have to force their way out into traffic like 
that????
have a think about the last time you saw anyone give a truck a chance to 
get out of anywhere yet they will have no problem slowing a bit so a car 
can get out

getting to merge into any stream of traffic is usually a force your way 
in type scenario because no one will let the trucks in, yet they have no 
problem letting a few cars in

sit and watch at any merge point and observe the attitude change when a 
truck appears
