    Relax, I was being sarcastic. :)

    He'd LIKE to rid the world of idiots (a lot of the nation's drivers shouldn't be operating a zipper without supervision, let alone a vehicle), but he's far more likely to find some other way to irritate them equally as much as they've done to him or something else. He's never caused an accident due to road rage. He's been driving for 17 years and I'd honestly put him side by side to drive with anyone on the road for skill.

    He has a bad temper and because he works so much, he spends a lot of time irritated on the road, but I always remind him that if just once he does something stupid, everything he works so hard for will be gone just that quickly.

    For the record though, he drives all over the country. You have to watch out for those big Volvo 770's. (kiddin)

    I'm not condoning any truck driver carrying out vengeful violence on anyone - regardless of what the other driver may have done. It just seemed odd that a truck could back into a car that many times and not have enacted enough destruction on the car that it wasn't a total loss versus 3k worth of damage.

    I find that one rather hard to believe too! I've seen enough cars damaged by semis.
