Cars that do it are just as much of a pain in the arse, but generally when

cars do it they move out of the way a hell of a lot quicker. I don't care 
what you drive, there's *nothing* more frustrating than trucks spread
across 
all lanes having a 7 kilometer long "drag race", with the fastest of them 
being walking pace quicker than the rest.

Incidentally, *all* slow vehicles should keep left. Not just trucks.

Of course you would, but then you're a truck driver, and truck drivers can

do no wrong in your eyes.

To me a bad driver is a bad driver. Regardless of what they're driving.

How do you know?

They have to ****ingwell *wait* like everyone else.

Jesus Christ, this is *exactly* the problem. They're too ****ing impatient

to get moving at a snail's pace so they have to push in and make everyone 
else around them give way to *them*.

Mate, you live in a fantasy world where truck drivers are heroes and 
everyone else is a **** :)

I can tell you right now as sure as I'm sitting here that if your average 
truck driver was the conscientious & accomodating driver you make them out

to be we wouldn't be having this discussion.

It certainly goes both ways, but clearly not in your view.
