Funny, how we tend to focus on whoever is bugging us at the moment, isn't it marcel?
I agree that the middle eastern drivers tend to be inconsiderate but I'm not so sure they are any more inconsiderate than any of the other poorly trained drivers on the road. Used to be drivers would complain about these exact same things (minus religion) about Swift drivers and JB Hunt (now I'm gong way back), lol.
I've had problems with middle eastern drivers as well, but no more so than I've had with machismo drivers from south of the border. I've certainly had plenty of problems with white trash (and other colors of trash).
There was a time when you could count on the drivers in the trucks to be courteous and safe. No more, I fear. Personally, I think a lot has to do with the lack of training and the fact that new drivers are becoming trainers when they still have so much to learn. On a hypocritical note, I was trained by my husband when he was still a new driver, but he was trained for 6 weeks by a trainer who had 20 or 30 years experience and who took his job seriously.
