For the last 5 months:
I've been driving truck on a parttime basics (on call). Bad driving is in all genders. The worst thing that happens to me when I'm driving is to be cut off by a driver. When you are driving a 30,000 lb vehicle and you have to hit the brakes, you don't stop very quickly. I've had a few close calls. I try to make sure I have lots of space in front of me at all times. So if someone does a cut off trick they at least can speed a head a little and maybe just maybe they won't get rear ended. Most truck drivers hate the rear enders because they will often get written up because some police officers feel that all rear end collisions are the falt of the one who rear ended the other vehicle however that isn't true when you have been cut off.
