Tailgating truck, I-75 Kentucky

Watch this impatient trucker tailgate, then attempt to pass the slower truck on the right, but a much slower car is in that lane!
Do you know what?   If he wasn't tailgating the other big truck, he would have seen the slow car.
Drivers like this one can kill.  This behavior is bad enough when cars do it.  No excuse for a 'professional' driver to drive like this.    

Werner Enterprises truck, trailer 62702, passing in no passing zones.

There's no reason for this truck to pass in this manner, in this area, except he was not patient enough to wait a few minutes.   There were plenty of safe and legal areas to pass on this highway.       Truckers like this can kill!

Red Prostar, Tailgating Ohio I-71

I see this too often.   Big trucks, tailgating.   This trucker, and others will probably protest 'I ain't tailgating, I knows what I am doing', but there is no way this truck can stop safely if the car aheads brakes suddenly.       Want to face financial ruin, or maybe even prison?   Keep driving like this.   This applies to cars, also.  Back off.

Venezia Truck #1287 Tailgating, I-85 in South Carolina 05-08-15

This video was made near Blacksburg, SC on I-85, heading north.   The Venezia truck tailgated the white car for as long as they were in my sight.   Truckers like this one can kill people.   Yes, cars drive this way, also, but the consequences of a big truck running into the back of you are usually much more deadly.   Slow down.   If you see a large truck driving like this, keep away from them, and try to contact the safety department at his company, with the truck and trailer number, or call the police.

It's no fun looking in the rear view mirror and only seeing the front grill of a large truck, a few feet behind you.   They tailgate other trucks, also, and if  you had a CB, you would hear what kind of moronic pig these drivers are.

Gordon Milk Transport tanker, tailgating, I-80, PA 12-15-14

Drivers like this really scare, and disgust me.   They don't have enough patience to wait for a slower vehicle to get out of the way when they are in a hurry, or any common sense.

Watch this Gordon Milk Transport tanker climb up on the bumper of the big truck, then repeatedly swerve in his lane to make sure that truck knew he was behind him, and in a hurry.

From my experience, truckers who drive like this, do it all the time.  This is probably not a 'one of a kind' situation, where the driver is just having a bad day, or a momentary lack of judgement.
This is  a predatory pig, who should not be driving a truck.

Tailgating trucks compilation #3

A majority of motorists follow other vehicles too closely, but when a large truck does it, people can die or be seriously injured.  If you see a truck driving this way, try to give them some space.  They can kill you.
Reporting the driver to the company they work for doesn't always have much impact.
If the trucker is driving very dangerously, call the police, and give a truck description, direction, and any  other information that may identify the truck.
Of course, if you have a dashcam, you can save the video of the event, and post it online.
(Which seems to get the attention of the trucking companies, and the driver better than a phone call to the company.)

Fort McHenry tunnel tollbooths, Stupid trucker, caught on cam

Approaching tollbooths on I-95 is often crazy enough, without a stupid trucker doing a U-turn, actually, a 360, in front of you to get to a different toll lane!
Cars will cut you off at the last minute, trying to get to a quicker toll lane, and often it's kind of vague which lane you are lining up for. You need to be careful, there are impatient, and inattentive, idiots behind the wheel.
Take our friend in the red car hauler, who must have entered the wrong toll lane, decided the smartest thing to do was to completely turn around in the one way, oncoming traffic, to get to the correct lane.
Traffic was light, he was lucky, but I hope he was held at the toll gate until the police arrived.
What do you do when you realize you are in the wrong toll lane, like a lane for electronic payment methods you do not have? SIT THERE, and wait. A toll attendant from another booth, or the office, will walk over to you. Yes, they are usually not very happy to do this, but they will, and you probably will just pay your toll and go on your way.
