I also hate/fear being next to or BEHIND semis, they scare the ever living sh** out of me. Once when I was a baby me and mom were in a parking lot and one started backing up and the driver was completely oblivious to us. He would have completely crushed our car but some lady ran out in front of him and signaled to him to stop. Needless to say our car was totaled. I nearly had this happen again in recent years when I was taking my grandmother somewhere but I pre-emptively backed up because no one was behind me (We were on the road not in a parking lot.) If I ever have to drive I stay the hell away from semi drivers. Will get in the opposite lane, do my best to stay away from them a good distance.
I get scared around truck drivers too. when on a 3 lane highway i make sure (if i have the option) to have one lane empty between me and him. when i pass a truck driver, i go way over the speed limit to get around him as fast as possible to make sure i don't sit in his blind spot.

What about those people who go like 30 miles an hour when they're in front of you and then go at monster speed when you try to pass them just to piss you off and keep you behind them?
these people drive me crazy!! !

People who tailgate you because they think it'll make you drive faster. All it makes me do is slow down to about 20 and hope they were going somewhere very important.
i do this too. eventually they either back off or go around. i plan to get a bumper sticker big enough for those to read it saying "the closer you get, the slower i go"
