"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."

The interviewer wants to hear that you do not overreact when you see another motorist making poor choices on the road. As a truck driver, you will often see other drivers make poor decisions, and you realize it is your responsibility to remain professional and continue to put safety first. Mention that you do not overreact in these situations, and you proceed without getting stressed.

"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."
