So, I take the Jag out for the first time in 10 days.
Typical moron drivers, until I'm about 4 blocks from home. I have a green light, start my right turn, and here comes a Farmer's Coffee truck out of the strip mall, doesn't stop, doesn't look, I lay on the brakes and the horn as he just keeps coming.
I get stopped, but the swing of his rear step bumper just keeps swinging towards the front corner of my right wing.
I never let off the horn, he finally stops, with less than two inches of clearance.
We had some words.
I might just make a call.
 
You can bet ~I~ would. Ask for the "Safety Officer" of the place, give him time, place and date info and suggest they could avoid some heavy future litigation issues if that pinhead were to be NOT driving for their company: He's going to cost them in the future. Be the concerned ~almost~ victim.
 
I gave a call to a local rental place after being run into the center median by one of their trucks. The manager was very interested in my call. I remained polite, and even after asked, said I did not wish to talk to the owner, or start anything that big, just let the guy know if he's driving a truck with a company name plastered all over it, he a representative of said business.
