Its just that truck drivers are supposed to be proffessionals, they spend
their day on the roads and 
should be leading be example. (Okay you can all stop ROFL!)

its the same with cabbies, some are great (Usually Locally born and
getting on in age) but most are 
just plain ignorant - Road rules dont apply to me, I spend the whole day
driving around here and Im 
allowed to do what I want.

If thats the case then it should be shoot on sight for such ignorance.
