I have never seen a petrol tanker bully or tailgate anyone else. The driving by tanker drivers, seems, on the whole, to be exemplary.
Ask your guys who think people hate them, how they justify blocking off the outside lane of a dual carriageway in a queue, preventing people passing and filtering in further down the road. And then ask them if they think that might have something to do with it.
Personally, I think the "knights of the road" thing is a throwback to the 30's 40's and 50's.
EDIT - I think the pressure of the job now shows in thier driving and road attitude.
