As for driving around trucks, just like everyone else said; give them a wide berth, and pass them when it's safe to do so. Most truck drivers with any real experience realize and appreciate that they make other drivers nervous, so they tend to give additional warning time and make every attempt to ensure that they are clear before making lane changes. However, there is only so much they can do if you are not paying attention, or choose to ignore the warnings they give you. And if you don't know enough about driving by now to know that you never pass a truck on the right side anywhere near an intersection or turn off, then there may not be much help for you.

However, there are always those drivers who either don't care, or who are not paying attention, who will do lane changes with no warning (considering the number of regular people who do this on a regular basis, i.e. lazy pricks, this shouldn't be that much of a surprise), or making even bigger sweeping turns then that necessarily need to, you always need to keep an eye out and be ready to react. A good mentality to have with every other fool you meet on the roads, regardless of what they drive.
