Makes me laugh when you get a group of vehicles up each other's rear all trying to squeeze in at the same time..

If you do it for a living, then some of the behaviour that you see beggars belief. Much of it appears to come from car-only drivers trying to treat 30-40tonne monsters as though they are other cars, who can be bullied or easily yield.
Id summarise it as an extension of the selfish and entitled behaviour that seems to prevail now, with a bleeding stupid component!

Most of the bullying I have seen on the roads comes from HGVs that will pull out in front of you knowing there is f all you can do about it.
Lack of indicating/tailgating & using a mobile phone also seem to be some of the finely honed skills of the modern day professional driver.

Are you for real? You are claiming that people in cars think that they can 'bully' 30/40 tonne lorries.

These things are not quick at pulling away heavily loaded and add the auto gears into it,where a delay happens between each gear,even using the kick down,or semi auto,the gearing is still slow when moving off to get some speed going.
So it may seem to a car driver,oh he's pulled out in front me on purpose,which is not always the case.They are just a much slower vehicle to pull off from a standing start.something that car drivers don't seem to take into consideration,when they are flooring it on a roundabout etc,and add to the fact the lack of indicating on roundabouts,some do some don't.Its just about judging the right time when to pull off.

I've got to be honest here and not wishing to stir up the old hornet's nest, but this is my beef with some of these vigilante cyclists. As said I give trucks as much space as I can as I don't want to get tw4tted by one, I therefore cannot understand cylcists who don't do the same wth cars. Yes I know that often the car driver is an idiot and in the wrong, but self preservation and all that.
Perhaps its hitting my mid thirties but 99% of the time nowadays I drive like a Grandad.
Lorry drivers don't tend to stick in my mind when it comes to poor driving, which can only be a good thing.

Starting a car v lorry debate on a car forum was not a very clever thing to do really was it? I'll sprinkle them over your mother next time I see her.

A huge amount of road users are ****tards, and that included cars, lorries and bikes.
HGV's doing 51mph to overtake another HGV doing 50mph is very common, and they certainly like to tailgate.... but on normal roads HGV's are certainly driven better than a hell of a lot of cars.
Van drivers though.... that's different story.

I drive a 44 ton artic everyday and have done for best part of twenty years.
Our roads are absolutely riddled with jibbering idiots who think they can drive.
I just laugh at them these days, seems to **** them off more though strangely.
It's almost a given that I get 1 or 2 drivers giving me the finger every day.
