First let me say that I have tremendous respect for big rigs, Greg, 
exactly for that reason, although I remember hearing from a trucker 
that if there's a choice between a wreck that isn't the trucker's fault 
vs an evasive action that could result in the rig's culpability, the 
driver will choose the former.  

I know that was a long and convoluted sentence, but basically a 
trucker will hit you if it's your fault rather than swerve to avoid you 
if it puts his rig (and insurance) in jeopardy.  

I scared the shit out of myself when I drove my brand-new-to-me 
Delorean home from Phoenix,  passing everything on the road 
because I had no clue how fast I was going but I was having a 
helluva good time.  I was flying down the left lane, which I had all to 
myself, when a trucker in the right lane signaled to pass a slower 
car.  He started to wander in front of me, not wanting to slow down 
and then have to speed up again after I went by, but I was so close 
all I could do was flash my brights and hope he'd rethink the 
situation.  Fortunately he did - else I wouldn't be writing this right 
now.  Can you say breadbox?
