I have my dates pause and pull up from my lap to flash them regularly.

I always minimize my time near them because if I am next to them when something breaks on them I could die.

People who take forever to get around one irk me

I signal them if they can turn and slow down/speed up to assist them. Everyone thinks they are assholes. Some might be, but it is not easy during those vehicles in traffic (hard to stop and start them).

As for pulling over to help them if broken down, nonway. They have mechanics on call and I could not possibly competently assist with repairs.

Absolutely.

Let them merge in front of me on i10 if they're out-pacing the car in the right lane.

If I notice one exiting a parking lot, I will hold the lane so they have room to make a wide turn.


People who cut them off because they don't merge fast enough really piss me off. People don't realize how hard it is to stop those things so suddenly.

Sure, I always do what I can to keep them moving freely. A lot of folks will disagree, but I find them to be very courteous and professional driver within the limits of what their truck can do.
