Let them pull right out there .

Yeah, but the problem is that they have some ambulance chasing lawyer on speed dial, and they will want to sue the "big truck" driver. Even if they don't have a good reason, it can tie you up in court and cost a bundle in legal fees.

I thought Canada had Day Time Running Lights as mandatory. Yet I see many vehicles in the daytime without headlights on.

Not counting all the time off the road. Not worth it.

DRL's are mandatory on new vehicles, but if the module is toast you MUST fix the DRLs back to original before you can sell it.

My module is toast, but I turn my lights on manually.

I'm a 18-wheeler owner/operator. You should see stupid drivers from the perspective of a big rig. I have a triple axle trailer and I'm legal for a GCVW of 88,000 pounds. You can't imagine how people will pull out in front of a 44 ton truck.

Kinda funny that you mention it... taking the wife to lunch the other day on a 4 lane road (two in each direction). We were heading south and we had a 44 ton truck pull out across both our lanes trying to head south, too, right in front of us so fast we were forced into oncoming traffic or go into the truck right about under the driver's door!

Watching that video.... the guy in the camaro was surely driving aggressively, as he wanted to get around the pickup on the right. However, when he got up close to the semi and put on his signal, the guy in the pickup clearly accelerated in a move to purposely prevent the camaro from cutting in. That right there is against the law. Then the pickup guy boxed him in behind the semi, on purpose, just to teach him a lesson, because, you know, its our job to teach people a lesson while traveling in traffic in 4-5000 pound vehicles next to a semi at 65MPH. Then the camera guy boxed him in from behind as well. Don't think the semi played any part in it, although if I saw two arsehats playing chicken next to me, I'd just back off because you know what's likely to happen. The pickup driver and the camaro driver both contributed to that accident. The semi driver could have seen what's going on and avoided it as well, but I don't think his actions were criminal. I do think the pickup driver was just as criminal as the camaro driver, if not more. Why? Because the camaro signaled and the pickup accelerated on purpose to prevent his lane change. Hope no one died. Hope they both got big hefty tickets and sued by the trucking company.

the camaro driver was charged with DUI.

I got dash cam shot last week of semi forcing me out of my lane. I had to swerve to shoulder to avoid being hit.
