I think you missed my point. Rusty old pickup trucks are usually people from out of town who are uncomfortable driving in the city. They occasionally do stupid things, but tend to do them really slowly, and are pretty much nervous of all traffic, inluding bikes.
The problem is the new trucks with the massive front ends and double wide rear tires that are driven hotshot young MBAs, oilfield labourers and other such people with more money than brains.
