Let's see apply some math to this question of ######baggery on the truck driver's part:

Owns Large Truck: 60% chance of ######
Tinted Windows: 80% chance of ######
Turns on brights like wee child when annoyed: 90% chance of ######

Now, as we all know, to calculate probabilities, take the chance FOR and subtract it from 100% for each condition, then multiply those numbers, and finally subtract that product from 100%, so

40% * 20% * 10% = .8%; 100% - .8% = 99.2% chance of the truck driver being a useless waste of skin; even with granting the possibility that originally he "didn't need" to let anyone in if he didn't want to. So essentially if you defend this guy, you are really, really bucking the odds here.
