I've seen many trucks bull their way thru running cars off the road. Just last year coming home from the Rally a 4 lane went form 4 lanes to 2 lanes. All vehicles were in single file with the big sign saying 2 lanes merging to one lane and out around the right comes a big semi balls to the wall to pass 5 vehicles and ended up running 3 of them off to the shoulder when he ran out of road (me included).
I routinely see bull haulers and other semi trucks test the railroad at crossings. Their little 80000lb rigs is baby poo compared to a train and yet they drive thru crossings and around gates, I have seen them just plow thru the arms. I have seen them blow horns and give the finger. I have seen them stop and then proceed thru breaking gates and creating a close call on many occasions.
I know all about cars zipping in and out of traffic and passing trucks to slow down at the next road to turn. I pull a tractor on a trailer in the summer and see it all the time so I can imagine what truck drivers go thru but there are just enough bad truckers out there to go with the car drivers.
