I'm not a bad driver, but I still shouldn't have to drive like that. Granted, the only "incidents" I ever had during my time driving such trucks were getting rear-ended by a Lexus in stop 'n' go traffic (which wasn't my fault) and nudging a garage roof (which was, but wasn't on a public road or some such).

Then again, I also firmly believe that bikers = better drivers, regardless of any performance driving experience.
