Like Sandman says:

This really pisses me off. I'm towing the boat at a normal speed. Start slowing down approaching a redlight, but some @$$hole behind me just has to be in front of me so .....They zoom around and pull right into the space I have allowed for a safe stop behind the car in front of me. Now I have to slam the brake hard and sometimes I've had to veer around them to avoid a collison. They just don't realize that it takes a truck/trailer/boat combination a bit longer to stop.

Of course I've seen people do it to tractor-trailers all the time on the way to work.

On occasion I have gotten out and blasted a couple of drivers. but it is still my fault !!!!!
