In all seriousness tho: This type of thinking is extremely dangerous and I am willing to bet that in a real situation where a minor collision could have been avoided by you braking instead could end in an "accident" all because your subconscious wanted to see what would happen to that poor little car if your truck touched it sooooooo badly. Good thing you specified it's your work truck or else I would have went straight to the big truck = small you know what.

Most drivers don't give trucks respect or space they require. At the end of the day if somebody hits me in a accident I can't avoid, I drive home in my undamaged 86. That's the point. Some lady hit my co-worker the other day in a honda civic on the highway. Cut in front and clipped his front bumper from her fender to quarter panel. Tore the entire car apart, and the only damage to the truck was a bent bumper and bumper frame. People don't pay attention, and drive like maniacs because they're impatient. It is more apparent to me in my 86, given the contrast in size between the two vehicles. I drive very conservatively and defensive around town as a result. |

You can't drive as a big component of your job and not be calm with the amount of stupidity that happens on roads daily. I wish I had a dashcam to record some of this stuff. Some of it is borderline criminal. |

Drove to work this morning, 5:30AM, one car 2 cars length behind me on the highway.
I guess she tried to overtake me and she started to almost top over in her old Subaru Forester. She clearly lost control for a good 5-10 seconds. I accelerated and made sure there was some distance between the two of us. Made it to work alive. Did not crash. |

The wife drove the twin to work today. She thinks she's all that and a bag of chips. Have to admit, she does look sexy driving it.
She did not crash. |

Followed a Pinto down the highway this morning. Anybody that thinks our tires are narrow should see how comically skinny theirs are!
Did not crash into him and die in a explosive fireball.
