I suppose it depends on what one's reasons for posting might be.
We could vent and rail about "killer drivers" or how dangerous the infrastructure is, or anything along those veins.
But this is a bicycle forum, not a driving or civil engineering forum. So the audience that reads these posts are cyclists, and some of us prefer to focus our efforts based on our audience. I can't change the world, but maybe I could use these events as opportunities to warn fellow cyclists (those people who actually read bicycle forum posts) about something that they can avoid or manage to their benefit.
If and when truck drivers start reading my posts, I'll speak to them and my message will be very different.
