I now call them zombie drivers, people so oblivious to what is happening around them they could be zombies.

(a side note, I got in the right lane, traffic was very light, the other semi should have gotten over too, maybe he was zombie also!)


Sometimes its nothing to do with you whatever, people are an accident looking for a place to happen. Driving slow or playing the hills wont stop them from or help them to have the accident they are looking for.
The semi driver was an idiot, which is slightly different from zombie. Being a professional driver, he should have known to get right and let the guy pass ON THE LEFT as the law dictates. The guy in the car may have been an impatient dooosh, but, I wouldn't categorize him as zombie. You could even give him credit for refusing to make an unsafe pass on the right of the semi.
