Was an aggressive truck driver the cause of your accident?
Though most truck drivers are responsible drivers, because of the large size of their trucks, some truck drivers feel they have dominance of the road. This can lead to dangerous driving behaviors such as aggressive driving, unsafe lane changing, not yielding to the right of way, or making a wide right turn without proper warning.
Because of demands put on them by trucking companies such as tight deadlines and mileage quotas to meet, truck drivers sometimes work under stressful conditions. This pressure can cause some truck drivers to push themselves to the limit in order to fulfill trucking company goals or to earn more money. Fatigue, speeding, driving under the influence and aggressive driving behavior can all be caused by a driver under stress.
