Is that a euphemism for an unspoken licence for vehicular homicide?

Would a trucker swerve to avoid a pedestrian, or run them over? Would they ram a stalled vehicle off the road at speed?

Struggling to understand the implications of their entitlement.

I mean FTA- the conditions seem absolutely treacherous and non-industrial traffic is explicitly warned about the dangers. I would imagine that there are many situations on that route where evasive action would be more dangerous to both parties. Clearly not a situation or “license” that a truck driver would want.

Also not sure there are any pedestrians lol
