Don't forget that the driverless vehicle will have tracking. Expect to get a ticket complete with video if you do things like that. If you are costing the trucking company money they might be willing to send people to court against you as well (taking you to court might not be worth it, but the teach people a lesson aspect might make it worth it anyway)

Issuing that traffic ticket would not be a good long-term PR move for any organization that needs to work with the public (like the police).

Trucks getting cut off is the norm in many areas. Punishing people for normal is generally not smart.

Punishing people for "normal" has a way of discouraging "normal" and changing it into "not as normal".
