And people seem to think big truck means cut them off. Seriously, people, this things don’t come to a stop fast. Knock that off. A F550 nailing your Prius won’t go well.
Say Uncle – Blogging Notes

[It’s that time of the summer again. All the college students are coming back into town and I usually discover this is the case by narrowly avoiding accidents a couple of days in a row as people cut off and generally disrespect my truck.
It is amazing the number of people who seem to think that my truck since it doesn’t accelerate like a sports car must stop like a brick hitting the ground. Umm, no, you see there’s this thing called Newton’s laws of motion. That combined with momentum means that the next time you decide to whip around me and cut me off, I may not be able to slow down enough so that your right rear quarter doesn’t hit my front bumper.
If you see a full size truck on the road, respect it. Also realize that the space he’s leaving between him and the vehicle in front of him is not so you can barely squeeze in, it’s so he doesn’t run that person over. Also if you pull out in front of one at close range, on the highway no less, you better be testing your 0-60 time. If that truck slams on his brakes, don’t act surprised and flip the bird when he passes you as you’re also doing 5 under. Remember, might makes right, and well, your little Subaru isn’t a match for the truck. [end rant] -B]
