I always drive more defensively around big rigs and am aware of their blind spots, you should thank your lucky stars your alive, and this from a guys with a Class A license..

When it comes to driving around a semi I stay clear back where I can see the driver in the mirror then quickly accelerate past them to clear road not pausing by them at all no matter what jerk tailgater might be around. You drove a little too slow in the slow lane he did not see you pass on the right and wanted to move over to the slow lane, so you also were partially at fault for passing on the right..... and apparently did not move out swiftly after passing. BTW I also always pull up behind anything at any light with enough room to be able to turn and get around any car in front of me.....Old motorists can be wiser and safer and also not stuck behind a car dead at a intersection boxed in and pissed off....LOL And anyone on my arse needs more lead in their diet......severe lead deficiency......There is no excuse for tailgating....EVER unless its just to save your life for a second.
