Ropak Concrete Construction Luke Fokkens Bad Driver Rude Discourteous Dangerous Offensive Unprofessional Idiot Middle Finger King Calgary, Alberta
Driving home from work on the left of two lanes, I have a big white pickup truck pull past on the right of me start merging into my lane in front, in a space not nearly big enough for his truck. I had to hit my brakes or it was guaranteed collision.
After braking and falling back to let him in so we didn't collide; I honk my horn to make him aware of his driver infraction, and he tosses his middle finger out the driver's side window so casually I would have thought it was the 10th he'd given out today.
I believe it was Luke Fokkens, he cuts me off, flips me the finger, and just smiles as I drive by after.
Doing this in a company truck with his personal business number on the side, and is co-owner of the business. Real smart. How do you think I know who cut me off? Your business name on the side of the vehicle genius.
Well when you run a business most people expect you to be a productive, helpful, individual or group in society, not acting like a jerk who runs people off the road cause he has a big truck and a middle finger.
I feel sorry for his partner having to work with some one who:
A) Can't operate a large vehicle safely or properly, and works in concrete/construction. (I would think operating a vehicle safely would be key to that)
B) Has no Class and instead of owning up to a driver "error" we'll call it, as opposed to crazy driving techniques, he casually flips the bird out the window at the driver HE just CUT OFF. What a professional. Then smiles at me when I pass.
At some point I'd changed lanes in front of him preparing for my right hand turn, and he began tail-gating my vehicle, looked like I was towing him with a 1' tow length. Never touched my vehicle but following me literally 12-24 inches away if that.
I'd advise you to stay away from this fellow, I've fortunately never had to deal with him in person, and he almost killed me today merging into my vehicle, and I still can't tell if it was negligence or malice, and then when he's called on it...throws out a middle finger to a citizen who could have potentially been his customer. If ya get to read this dude! You're completely rude, discourteous, irresponsible and you will never have my business or anyone else I will mention this to in the future.
Just a warning if you see a Ropak Concrete truck, around Calgary get out of there before you're offended by Luke's finger, or killed by his driving. I hope this report is sufficient.
I'd also last want to mention, I'm not a customer, and never will be. What a punk.
Is this a rip off? Probably not, but it could potentially save your life. If see Ropak, turn back.

Re-reading my post and checking a corresponding photo taken of the offending vehicle, my correction is the pick up was either white OR a metallic silver.
The incident occured August 17th on 17th Avenue SE just after 28th street heading east.
I was in a red vehicle. This happened at around 5:11-5:13pm in rush hour traffic into Forest Lawn. Again have time stamp information from pictures taken of the vehicle.
I can not say 100% it was specifically Luke Fokkens however the phone number on the side of the vehicle matches his direct phone number on their company website. http://www.ropak.ca/Contact.page
The license plate on the truck is FYX-632 and was a white OR silver Dodge Heavy Duty 4X4.
And I am seriously considering contacting police. This was pure lunacy.

I started feeling bad after I submitted this, especially it being irrevocable. This guy, Luke, trying to run a business, maybe a family to take care of, here I am slandering his good name, with all true facts.
Then I remember how this guy almost damaged me & my car, gestured more or less as disrespectfully as you possibly can to some one, tail-gates and thinks its funny. Anyway, after remembering that, I thought an update was in order and I got over feeling bad really fast.
After I submitted this, I began thinking this was logged on the wrong site as I wasn't technically ripped off. Cut off, yes. Flipped off, yes. Pissed off, Very little. But just needed to get the last word In more or less.
I starting thinking maybe there's other websites more appropriate to use, like a cutoffreport.com for people cutting you off in traffic, or possibly a flipoffreport.com for that pesky middle digit who will not stay down, a renegade rising as a revolutionary across the planet. Then as I started reading what some other people write on this website, and man I'm being too nice.
Luke should be on jerkoffreport.com or growtheeffup.com
Sorry, had to get that in there. Next time use your brain, and keep your gestures to yourself and I won't call you out in front of the world. I hope you seriously think next time you feel like acting like a d**k behind the wheel.
I feel better. Props to this site for giving me the forum to rant in. Very therapeutic. I probably should have called the police instead. Could have been under influence of spirits, has poor eye sight, or just a plain terrible driver. I have no idea.
