I believe that there is a case of death wish among the American population. I drive between central KY and Western North Dakota a couple times each year. I just returned from my most recent 3000 mile jaunt. For the first time, I experienced most of the stupid stunts drivers can pull. Several times, drivers of the Jugo class vehicles made repeated challenging lane changes that required me to brake hard and evade a collision. The driver of the offending car was gleeful. In one instance all 4 people in the car acted delighted with the driver's stupidity. I am driving a 1 Ton, 3500 Dodge but the "attacks" were upon me.

Okay, now put yourself in a 18 Wheeler. I went on two cross-country trips with my son when he was driving. I was scared to death the whole time. I began calling them, KILLER CARS. There were several times that we would have been in a bad wreck or dead if my son hadn't been such a good driver.
It is AMAZING how people in cars treat Big Trucks. And like you said, some LAUGH when they do it. But most of them are just oblivious. THEY make the error and blame it on the trucker!
I saw it with my own eyes time after time after time EVERY DAY and in EVERY STATE across the nation!
