Sort of creepy road-rage film from 1971 in which Dennis Weaver gets into it with an old Peterbilt tanker.

(and in case my insurance agent is reading this, yes... I was stopped at a traffic light when I snapped the pic)

Pretty scary at the time. Brilliant idea. Started the whole road rage series of movies, I think. Now it's a standard formula.

You don't see many Pete's of that vintage still on the road. Then again, if that was the truck from Duel, I doubt he would be concerned with new emission regulations. Glad you made it out of there in one piece.

Ha! I never understood the point of that movie, but trying to kill Dennis Weaver makes for a good plot anytime! :-)

Movie was made by Steven Spielberg while he was still in film school.

You may have been at a traffic light, but your agent and the police officer are going to ask why you weren't wearing your seat belt, LOL!
