I actually got out of my truck once. A lady (using term loosely) cut me off, on wet pavement, and I had a full load- 80,000lbs. I stopped just barely and at the next light I jumped out and tapped on her window. Don't know what I was thinking but I was so scared by what had happened that I was shaking. She rolled down her window an inch and I explained to her, politely, about trucks and how heavy they are and how they can't stop as quick when they are loaded. Her response was that if I didn't stop and I hit her that it would be my fault. I guess she missed the part about her being dead if I couldn't stop. It was a little car. Would have just made a little “bump - bumpbump - - - bumpbump”.

Some drivers don’t have a clue. She may be right but will be dead wrong.

Been wanting to do that for 25 years but in some jurisdictions it could be considered an offense. I expect that my onboard recording will one day include video. It’ll actually be a blessing.
