I take issue with a few things here, but one in particular: it is the mentality of smaller cars around larger cars that creates more of a driving hazard. As a former truck driver I can't tell you how many times i've seen people risk their / my life to hurry up and get in front of me, even though they know their exits an 1/8 of a mile down the road. Floor it when my blinker would go on to avoid the agony of me being in front of them. And this behavior is more the rule of thumb rather than an exception as you might expect.
