David,
Was the truck driver speeding or simply going too fast for the conditions? I think it is an important distinction. If one is going to make the argument, which I have some sympathy for, that one can drive safely above our posted speed limits one must also accept that on occasions the posted limit is too fast. Apart from some roads not being up to standard there is rain, fog, road works, heavy traffic and whatever else to consider.
Too many people seem to think that the number on the road sign is the slowest they should travel and nothing should ever stop them from doing that speed. Delays and the unexpected are part of driving and you just have to accept that. They are never an excuse to get angry or aggressive, nor make up for lost time afterwards. Even other motorists being idiots is a fact of life which shouldn't cause you to do something stupid.
