I agree with you Bwhite I have a lot of respect for truckers but when they do dumb **** like this I just see red. One night at like 1 am me and a friend were driving home from a co workers he in his chevy trailblazer me in my ram. Two trucks merged onto the highway in front of us blocked both lanes and slowed down from 75 to 45 and not allowing anyone to pass all the while with both drivers flicking us off. Soon the highway opened up into four lanes so it was pay back time. We flew by both of them and slowed down to about 15 miles an hour for about a mile. every time they'd try to gain on us we'd just speed right back up. Funniest **** i've ever seen.
I also one day before I had my truck I had a jeep wrangler and was going down the highway and the driver did pretty much the same thing to me but I was able to get out of his way and avoid damage. I got his trailer number and the number of the trucking company on the truck when I got to pull even with him later. I don't know what they did with that guy but I called them and flipped the **** out.
I hope all goes well and I'm glad you were not injured man

Thanks for the replies guys, it's really just a bummer.....
To add insult to injury, I was driving to work today (60 mile trip) and what was left of my mirror started shaking pretty bad, about 30 seconds later it flew off it's post, and started dangling by the power wires and beating against the door... By the time I got slowed down and pulled over, it had put some very fine scratches in my door... ugh....
I also found out that I need that mirror back on my truck ASAP... Been driving for 14 years now, I've gotten used to keeping an eye on traffic with ALL my mirrors, take one out of the picture and it just throws me all off... I did almost change lanes into someone last night, so I went ahead and ordered my mirrors last night, hopefully shipping won't take forever...

Well first let me start by saying that I am in no way disrespecting the hard working truckers out there.
However this a$$hole should have his license revoked!!!
I was driving down the interstate today in the left hand lane, overtaking a semi. The driver got distracted by something and came over into my lane, taking out my passenger side mirror and running me off the road. The trucker veered back into his lane and kept on going.... I got back on the interstate and took off after him, flashing my headlights and honking my horn, he acknowledged by giving me the finger and kept driving. I jotted down his tag number and pulled off the intestate and gave my report.....
