Bigger, yes, but mainly that means they take a lot longer to slow down and accelerate again afterwards .... and if he/she was in the left (continuing) lane, then he/she was actually doing the right thing by all the other drivers on the road. I spent some time driving on the British motorways and was impressed with their lane discipline and the degree of cooperation amongst truck drivers - too complex to describe here, but in essence everyone is focussed on keeping traffic
flowing.

I never get that reaction from another car. In my case however he made me drive into the emergency lane though??

Well, I didn't see it, so I can only guess as to the length of the lane merge section and visibility etc, but technically he/she didn't make you do anything. If it were me, I wouldn't bank on a truck doing anything except continuing at a steady speed; I'd either floor it to get well in front, or slow down to pull in behind.
