Narrative:

Taxiing aircraft to covered tie down area. As I approached an uncontrolled (except for warning signs and flashing signals) intersection between the aircraft ramp and a road that leads directly into the airport, a truck that had been stationary suddenly pulled directly into my path. The distance between the truck and my aircraft at the time was less than 25 ft. I instinctively applied maximum braking effort and locked up on the main wheels creating skid marks approximately 10 ft in length. I was taxiing at a reasonable and safe speed of approximately 15 mph. After this occurred, I became angered at the driver of the truck and proceeded to gun the aircraft's engine making it back fire several times. I returned to my tie down area, at which time I yelled to the man in the vehicle that he should watch our for aircraft on the ramp. He confronted me and said that he never saw my aircraft, and that I should treat my aircraft better. I believe several factors contribute to this occurrence. The driver of the truck was inattentive in looking for crossing aircraft. My own anger at the driver caused me to act in a manner that could be viewed as careless and reckless. My recommendation as to avoiding a similar situation is to be constantly alert for other vehicles (cars, aircraft) and not to be quick tempered when an incident such as this occurs. I felt quite foolish after this occurred as it related to my actions in the cockpit. I have never acted this way before and will not act in such a fashion again.

Title: NEAR GND COLLISION BTWN SMA AND GND VEHICLE AT NON TWR ARPT.

Narrative: TAXIING ACFT TO COVERED TIE DOWN AREA. AS I APCHED AN UNCTLED (EXCEPT FOR WARNING SIGNS AND FLASHING SIGNALS) INTXN BTWN THE ACFT RAMP AND A ROAD THAT LEADS DIRECTLY INTO THE ARPT, A TRUCK THAT HAD BEEN STATIONARY SUDDENLY PULLED DIRECTLY INTO MY PATH. THE DISTANCE BTWN THE TRUCK AND MY ACFT AT THE TIME WAS LESS THAN 25 FT. I INSTINCTIVELY APPLIED MAX BRAKING EFFORT AND LOCKED UP ON THE MAIN WHEELS CREATING SKID MARKS APPROX 10 FT IN LENGTH. I WAS TAXIING AT A REASONABLE AND SAFE SPD OF APPROX 15 MPH. AFTER THIS OCCURRED, I BECAME ANGERED AT THE DRIVER OF THE TRUCK AND PROCEEDED TO GUN THE ACFT'S ENG MAKING IT BACK FIRE SEVERAL TIMES. I RETURNED TO MY TIE DOWN AREA, AT WHICH TIME I YELLED TO THE MAN IN THE VEHICLE THAT HE SHOULD WATCH OUR FOR ACFT ON THE RAMP. HE CONFRONTED ME AND SAID THAT HE NEVER SAW MY ACFT, AND THAT I SHOULD TREAT MY ACFT BETTER. I BELIEVE SEVERAL FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO THIS OCCURRENCE. THE DRIVER OF THE TRUCK WAS INATTENTIVE IN LOOKING FOR XING ACFT. MY OWN ANGER AT THE DRIVER CAUSED ME TO ACT IN A MANNER THAT COULD BE VIEWED AS CARELESS AND RECKLESS. MY RECOMMENDATION AS TO AVOIDING A SIMILAR SIT IS TO BE CONSTANTLY ALERT FOR OTHER VEHICLES (CARS, ACFT) AND NOT TO BE QUICK TEMPERED WHEN AN INCIDENT SUCH AS THIS OCCURS. I FELT QUITE FOOLISH AFTER THIS OCCURRED AS IT RELATED TO MY ACTIONS IN THE COCKPIT. I HAVE NEVER ACTED THIS WAY BEFORE AND WILL NOT ACT IN SUCH A FASHION AGAIN.
