EOB: Why not to cut off a big truck
Leadfoots beware: The Idaho State Police plans to crack down on aggressive driving, from tailgating to quick lane changes to speeding, in or around trucks on I-90 through North Idaho all week. Sgt. Jim Eavenson of the Idaho State Police said 70 percent of crashes that involve both big trucks and cars are caused by the car. "The problem is, when cars and trucks collide, the cars usually lose," he said. Many motorists don't realize that big trucks have blind spots and can't stop as quickly as cars, so it's not safe to cut them off or dart in front of them. The ISP's "Targeting Aggressive Cars and Trucks Program," or TACT, already has run enforcement pushes in the Boise and Pocatello areas; the Coeur d'Alene area is up this week, through Saturday.

Question: Who's worse, auto drivers or semi drivers?
