    Tell you a story that happened today, and this could have got REAL UGLY in a hurry. And it isnt just big trucks who tailgate, what irks me are those big oversized, i wanna be a big truck, trucks, with dual rear tires, and guys who own them who have tiny #####' and need a big truck so they can have a reason to act like a C#$%.

    I was traveling north on I-55, i would say just south of Sikeston, MO. When i white chevy blazer passed me, and there was another car in front of me, they were passing. just then a big maroon dual rear truck zooms past me, and felt the need to 'bully' the blazer out of the way, i would say riding his tail no more than 4-5 ft. Just then the Blazer brake-checks him...not once but TWICE !! Then the blazer gets over, only for the dual truck to speed up and cut off the blazer. The blazer having to take to the emergency lane, and all the while, about 200 yards down the road, IN THE EMERGENCY LANE is a broke down mini-van with people out fixing a tire. Then look up and see the maroon truck swerving into the e-lane. i got on channel 9, and naturally, no LEOs were tuned in.

    times like that, i wish i had a massive PA system in the truck to yell at them for driving like #$$holes.

    i think there should be a law....regarless what size vehicle you're driving, if you want to drive like an ###, you deserve to be dragged out of your ride...and shot.

    Yowza! What a couple of idiots. One of my instructors said, "One guy with road rage just looks like moron. Two people with road rage are a recipe for disaster."
