Years back when I drove a rig, fools that tried this with me often got just the opposite, I hammered the throttle and filled their rear view mirror with all grill and bumper along with the air horn, a few got pit maneuvered off to the shoulder....a little driving lesson for their future reference
I'm glad you don't drive a rig any more. That kind of "meat in the seat" might-is-right attitude is one reason 4-wheelers hate big trucks.
