Pick-up truck tries to brake check Semi and gets pulled over

Main thing: be aware of the vehicles around you. Give big trucks as much space as you can. They need it. Don't try to beat them or race them. Definitely don't test their brakes. Backing off and letting them have room is easy. Never linger on either side. If you need to pass a truck, pass them. I have mad respect for what these guys can do because the most nerve racking thing I ever did was tow a camper, not even a big one. These guys have a huge trailer and their big truck to control. These guys are also on a stricter schedule then anyone else. I don't get how people can be so complacent around any vehicle. Something that can kill you so easily shouldn't be regarded with anything less than respect. I grew up with coal trucks running 8 feet from my front yard on a little two lane road with houses on both side. There was little room for error. I wasn't even allowed to stand outside my yard to wait for the school bus even in high school because the trucks running so close.

Great job on calmness. Unfortunately driving in the city all day for 10 plus hours as I used to do. You lose your calmness.

I have never been involved in driving large trucks, but you should never be in a hurry in a city. Your speed is governed by the lights. You can never reduce your journey time. Equally, it is hard to increase your journey time.

I was braked checked recently in Virginia on I 81. 4 wheeler was upset that I signaled and moved into the slow lane when she decided that she wanted to pass me in that lane. She went around, pulled in front with a strong brake and the middle finger. People think we do things just to be assess, but all I did was allow her to merge onto the interstate and attempt to get back over once I passed her. Some people have very weak egos.

[@scottnelsen164]

The trucker was in the left lane because he was passing. He probably moved over to pass before the pickup caught up to him. Maybe the pickup guy was pissed that he had to slow down till the semi passed. Highly unlikely that the semi moved over in front of the pickup so soon that the pickup driver got startled by being cut off by the semi. We don't get to see what was happening behind the semi when he moved into the passing lane.

My late wife and I used to have a 27" motor home (small by today's standards) that we loved to travel in the mountains in. It had a 454 Chevy engine and it was not slow by any means if you got on it so we weren't a threat to traffic behind us that needed to get to wherever they were going. I have, on several occasions, pulled over to make sure I wasn't blocking traffic. The one thing that used to send my blood pressure through the roof were those people who came out of their mother's anal cavity at birth that would rush like mad to get around us then slow down to a crawl in areas I could not pass them in. Anyone who has ever had a motor home knows you have to build up your speed on the flat and downhill areas if you're going to make the next hill with any kind of reasonable speed. Once one of these a-holes gets in front of you the only thing left to do is just pull over and let them go harass somebody else. Far too many times I have hoped they'd pull that stunt in from of a loaded semi and hope it's brakes failed. Perfect karma but would hate it for the trucker. When we finally sold the rig I swore I would never own another one. As much fun as we had in it the IDIOTS on the road just made using it too much of a hassle, especially in Georgia and some of the other southern states.
