Trucks are scary because so many people think that 4x4 means they can stop more easily or control their driving better while in their monstrosity when that's actually untrue. To add to that, many people seem to have the idea that bigger tires (trucks, mainly, again) mean better traction on winter roads when again this isn't true because they produce less pressure on the road ... big huge tires like that are good for mud but Deerfoot doesn't seem to be covered in mud right now ...
Maybe I'm lucky because I haven't really had too many of the experiences posted in the thread except for the annoyances of people exiting a closing lane at the absolute last minute and the seemingly roided-up soccer moms with their "Baby On Board" signs. People with those signs in their cars seem to think that its your responsibility to drive safely around them rather than putting that load on their own shoulders.
