Was that recently, or long ago?

Lorry drivers in Spain, long ago, were known as gentlemen of the road. 
Certainly not so in recent times. They are exploited, and it shows in 
their tempers. They drive around tired.


They tend to change lane fast because otherwise a car comes and impedes 
it. This forces the incoming traffic on the left lane to brake and swear 
softly.
