You said:
"Why are you dangerous?"
As posted, your question requested him to explain his dangerousness.
Nothing in the thread said anything about his behavior one way or the
other.

If you had instead punctuated your sentence this way:
"Why? Are you dangerous?"
that would have made more sense in the context of the thread.

A heavy truck is not the same as a passenger car. A heavy truck's
mirrors are much larger, for one thing, and for another it's impossible
to provide a rear window in a 53' trailer (or in a sleeper-cab tractor).
Plus trucks cannot perform the sort of sudden maneuvers that cars can.

Passenger-car side mirrors are meant to be aimed into the side blind-spots
not covered by your forward peripheral vision or by the rear-view
mirror.
Here's a pretty good explanation of passenger-car side-view-mirror
aiming I found using Google:
