Default Is it only me...

or do trucks run all of us off the road? Friday afternoon a guy in a big Dodge truck on a cell phone ran me off the road. Then this morning two different trucks forced me on to the shoulder. Luckily I stayed on pavement every time so I did not damage my car.

I think I need to mount some yellow strobe lights on the car or get an insanely loud exhaust.

For me it's mostly been SUVs. But yes it's either hard to see us or they must think they're invulnerable

I had a montero sport on most kill me on sunday night.... I think he crapped himself, cause he was bobing and weaving through traffic, but after a honk and a stare he slowed up and calmed down.



People think they can drive SUVs like sports cars
That commercial with SUV like animals at the rodeo is too true...

no... trucks and suv owners are in fact pricks. you aren't alone in noticing this.

my favorite is the ol' "merge like your asleep" manuever where 2 lanes combine into one, and they never pay attention to the sign. they ALWAYS think it's me who should yield to them cause they weigh like 3000lbs more than me... f that.

Of course, the above statement excludes all S2000 owners who have trucks and SUVs. Right?

I've been in a couple close calls myself. I think almost anyone that drives our cars has.

Small car that's low to the ground and hard to see + big blind spots with Trucks/SUVs + Dumba$$ drivers that got their license at K-Mart = Us getting run off the road!!!

Which normally leads to me and then giving them a nice big

I always drive with the thought that the other person cant see me. Once I see 'em coming I either slam on the brakes or

Drive safe everyone!!!

You almost get use to it, which sucks. I've had to many close calls. I've had trucks, suv's and cars do it to me.
