    That looks more like someone trying to get a semi to hit em for an insurance scam.

    Some dude in his new BMW X5 was the best yesterday.
    He wouldn't speed up getting on a ramp. He's running out of ramp.
    CA is 55 for me, 70 for him.
    He finally floors it, and gets on, then brakes hard down to about 50 in front of me.
    I brake, stay behind him doing about 50 for about 15 seconds, then he takes off as they always do, like he's shot out of a cannon.

    Guess he showed me.

    He must've just gotten a facebook alert so he had to slow down and check it. We all know how important that is. :rolleyes:

    Exactly the impression I got from that idiocy.

    I doubt that she even knew there was a truck in the area. That would have required that she actually took notice of anything further away than the screen of her smartphone.

    And here is this. He knew I was there. Just another big slow obstacle to drive around.

    Those contractor van drivers can get pretty idiotic can't they? Joe the plumber running late to fix a clogged toilet or who knows what. Smh.

    Autonomous cars will make our lives so much easier. Then again, drivers may quit from boredom, lol.

    Rochester.
    So was this one:

    No idea why... Other than stupidity. She starts changing lanes into me, forcing me to brake, and as soon as she is in my lane she accelerates off.
