I saw the light...tailgating me at 120kph

I hate cars that tailgate me.

I hate cars that zip in left and right, trying to beat traffic.

I especially hate cars that highlight me from behind.

Today, I faced a certain vehicle that did all three except that instead of a car, it was a bloody big truck. Big as in a 10-ton truck, one of those DHL or forwarding / freight company trucks.

It was one of the scariest moments I have ever encountered on a freeway. I was going at 120 kph and still the truck was tailgating me, highlighting me all the way. When I moved out of his way, he proceeded to swerve in and out of traffic at breath-neck speeds.

Some people should just be locked up or confined to walking.
