      1st Answer Example

      "I have seen some pretty crazy driving including people cutting me off, tailgating me behind steep hills, or passing unsafely on the highway. I rarely give warning honks but have a couple of times over the past few years. I try to keep in mind that the average person does not understand how to operate a large truck and so their patience level when it comes to my speed, merging, or pickup, is not where it could be. In each situation, I try to come from a place of understanding and go on with my day."

      2nd Answer Example

      "Reacting to every driver who makes a bad decision would take a lot of energy out of me, considering I see a lot of mistakes and I am always on the road. I cannot bother to put that kind of energy into being mad at other drivers or reacting to their poor decisions. I make a conscious effort to let situations like that roll off my back."
