And the other plonkish driving I've seen is..
HGV drivers tailgating people that have upset them in some way
usually through roadworks or in stop/start traffic conditions
happened once to me - fine if they want to pay for any damage and a stiff neck - I can't stop them
but seen it a lot as an observer
the old 'knights of the road' rep seems to have all but disappeared

Unfortunatley we do have to go slow, not through choice I can assure you 
Cornering quickly in an vehicle carrying livestock tends to put them on the floor like a row of dominoes

Happens all to often.
Reminds me of a time when a truck was tailgating a car thatI was a passenger in.
Driving, my friend said to me "open the glovebox and pass that back to Mike." (Mike was sat in the back seat)
He added - "Mike - shove that on the parcel shelf."
Well - the truck hit the anchors - and behaved impeccably.
The object was a blue light - My friend was in the fire service.
