People are generally oblivious idiots, but I've also seen some truly insane truck drivers on I-84 in CT, stuff like tailgating people in the left lane at 70+ at night.
I’ve seen countless truly insane car drivers over the years where I honestly thought people were going to die. Some did die.
I’ve also have seen some truck crashes where I’m like “how is that even possible?”
The thing with truck drivers is the bad ones don’t last very long. It’s almost impossible to get another driving job after getting fired for being a shitty driver.
—edit—
And law enforcement holds professional drivers to a higher standard so there’s no talking your way out of a ticket if they see you doing something stupid. Most of the time that’s when they get all up into the logbook and full on level 1 DOT inspection on the truck.
