Because they want to know what it feels like to be "steamrolled" by 80,000 lbs ?

Because all they are thinking about is what they want and where they want to go. It is total ignorance and stupidity to pull out in front of anyone, much less something so darn big.It cant stop anywhere near as fast as a car. And chances are when that big truck hits you -you might not live to talk about it afterwards. Take that little extra time-and wait tell it goes by you...

Have a party for him when he walks in.. Maybe take him some were like out to eat, and say it is for his birthday. While you are taking him out to eat make sure a lot of friends are setting up the party at his house, and that it will be all ready for your return. Make sure he doesn't go from school to home. Just from school to restaurant. Then BAM surprise when you return home. I would suggest maybe a DJ, save your money and have a great out door party...

In a hurry, and thinking they can judge the acceleration times of a big rig, while COMPLETELY ignoring the stopping times.

Probably because larger objects appear to be moving
slower. Watch an airliner on approach to landing. It doesn't
LOOK like 140mph, does it?

because they don't understand that the truck CAN'T stop, they think it stop's like a car, you'll get run over like a cardboard box, and nobody in the truck will get hurt, you'll get killed.... a car 1-1/2 tons...a semi 22 tons !

Because OMG, they don't want to be behind that terrible slow moving truck. or gee maybe they have a death wish or being squashed by a big rig, or maybe they just have no clue!

Same reason they pull around the Railroad crossing bars. They are in a hurry. Sometimes they pay for it with their lives, sometimes they pay for it with other people's lives. 'Stupid is as Stupid Does!'
