Law of gross tonnage is NOT a license to bully other vehicles.
i’ve met very few truckers that don’t believe “i’m bigger, i will crush you, get out of my way”

Not all are like that. My father is a truck driver and taught me how to drive. His attitude has always been ‘the larger the vehicle, the greater the driver’s responsibility’ but he’s always been a big believer in personal responsibility, so he’s probably not representative of most people these days.

I’ve met very few truckers that DO believe “I’m bigger, I will crush you, get out of my way.”

Maybe 1 in 1000. Most are very safety conscious drivers trying to avoid the pinhead motorists who expect their trucks to brake like Porsches.

Most car-truck accidents are caused by the car.
