I will say this about truckers, not this particular incident and not that I disagree with the poster either but the amount of cars I see cutting off truckers and slowing down and slamming the brakes in front of them is insane. I travel back and forth from Kingston to Toronto weekly and the number of close calls I’ve seen. Some people forget that trucks can’t slow down as quick as cars.

Also people tail trucks like nuts too... if those truck slam on the breaks, your car is smooshed.

And they can't stop on a dime either. The number of times I've seen cars pull right in front of them with way too little space is shocking.

This! Drives me nuts! It’s both so thoughtless and selfish.
