    I can verify that. I somehow pissed off an 18-wheeler at night on I-95
in Virginia and he did his best to run me off the road including getting in
front of me and literally locking up his wheels!

    When I got to a rest stop and called the state police to report the
incident he seemed more interested in the portable CD player on the dash
of my car than the damage done due to the incident. Even though I had the
tag and trucking company, no report was filed and no pursuit given.

    I guess its OK to be reckless, just don't use a radar detector while
your doing it!
