Had a guy yell at us one day for this was a one way lane just big enough for a car. They entered into the lane going the wrong way. Got out and started yelling at me and the other two cars behind me because we wouldn't move out of the way. The person sits there yelling at the rop of there lungs. Eventually a cop showed up they still refuse to leave. Cop called tow truck had them towed and left.

I was trying to turn onto a road to a delivery while driving a tractor trailer combination, and there was a mini van blocking my entrance. I had my blinker on, but couldn't go in until they moved or went. Problem was, they were trying to turn left in front of me and I was blocking their ability to see the rest of oncoming traffic. I sat there for a good 5 minutes with them staring at me and laughing while an enormous line built up behind me. It was just them the entire time, I motioned for them to back up. They motioned no, and that I should back up. I had to eventually put my truck right in front of them and lay on the horn for them to move, the lady driving the van gave me the finger. People are dumb.

Bigger vehicle has the right of way. How do you expect someone driving a truck on a main road to back up safely?

Not to mention the people lined up behind, they couldn't back up I'd they wanted to.

Going to say not always on this. The bigger vehicle has the responsibility to make sure that it can complete its maneuver without causing a collision. Too many trucks have failed to navigate a turn or left their lane during a curve. They’re risking other people and setting themselves up for more issues because it is not usually just one tight turn. If you are having that much trouble keeping your lane, your route planning is bad.
