Once, while stopping at a stop sign (though I didn't take the lane when I did), the driver behind me gunned it, swerved, and blew the stop sign on the wrong side of the road. It beat sitting there in the middle of the road, I suppose.

They would not do that with a Truck, or Train ..
They would, and do, here. It just doesn't result in fatalities often enough for anyone to do anything about it.
