So I'm just curious how wrong I was here. Few months back I'm driving on I 80 EB in Nebraska. FedEx contractor pulling doubles is coming out of a rest area. There's a truck almost done passing me and a camper coming up hot in the hammer lane. Guess ol super trucker FedEx in the white Volvo has to slow down to merge? HELL NO! This apex of profesionality decides to pull out right in front of me. I swerve just in time narrowly missing the camper, whizzing by FedEx by about an inch. I get on the cb and ask if he puts duct tape on his eyes and hopes for the best when merging.
Going down the road he slowly catches up and passes me. I look over ready to give him the finger, but he's looking strait ahead. I get on the cb again and use some colorful language to tell him just what I think of his driving ability. With him just over half passed me he turns his blinker on and swings his trailer at me. I react by moving over a tad and then he freaking TURNS his truck into my lane. This wasn't a slow rub out...no. this was a "I don't care if we get in a huge wreck and I kill you, I'll be in that lane in 2 seconds." I anticipated he might do that so I swerve with him and end up on the shoulder. Hit my breaks and let the moron go with a renewed stroking of his Volvo driving ego. Scary thing is, I drive a tank. If I'd have been loaded I might have rolled with a sudden correction like this...
So...am I the jerk for not slowing down and letting him merge? Anyone ever been rubbed out this aggressively? I was pretty shook up afterwards. Also my dash cam was having issues otherwise I would have most certainly gone after his job and CDL
