Cars drivers are their own worst enemies and 99% have nfi what a truck 
is doing and they care even less, you're in fantasy land if you think 
that more than a handful of cars drivers anticipate what a truck is 
going to do.

My experience is that if you drive with courtesy you will get courtesy 
back, an American friend who has been to lots of places around the world 
often says that Australians are the rudest and worst drivers in the 
world, I see no reason to disagree with him.
