Firstly Pat, your post, as ever, has something of the bunker mentality 'everybody hates us' about it.
That is simply not the case.
Moving on to your question, I don't think lorry drivers have gone badly wrong.
The change in peoples' attitude towards them is symptomatic of a general change in society.
Rudeness, coarseness, aggression and deceitfulness are all more common in all walks of life than they once were.
Swearing is just one example.
We now have a celebrity chef whose stock in trade is not a brilliant execution of a tarte tartin, but the 'f' word.
He even calls his television programme after it.
That would have been unthinkable 20 years ago.
