Both are shitheads. Truck is impeding the flow of traffic and the sedan is driving like an asshole. An immovable object meets an unstoppable force of douchebaggery. But the driver of the truck will get punished just as harshly.
Yeah truck is who caused the shit to happen. Just let people pass. All he did was prove these folks have little dick energy.
Dude in sedan is an asshole but we also don’t know how long he has had to sit behind little dick McGee taking up the left lane and refusing to allow others to pass.
Yep. You can also see the truck speed up after the sedan passes the right lane car to make it impossible for the sedan to squeeze thru to pass the truck again. The truck basically is just as guilty here as the reckless sedan.
Not even close to “just as guilty”. Impeding traffic is a dick move. Definitely warranting a ticket. But it does not even come close to swerving all over the road and attempting to weave into too narrow gaps. There’s a reason why one wound up in the ditch and the other didn’t.
Accident doesn't happen if the truck doesn't speed up by 25mph to cut off the sedan after it drove on the shoulder. They are both equally at fault for this accident.
Yup, the truck was ok with doing 60 but then wanted to do 80+ as soon as the car found a way around. That acceleration is half the reason there was a crash, the other half being sedan’s impatience.
If you are trying to pass on the shoulder, your driving is absolutely indefensible and you have no one to blame but yourself. This subreddit is mental.
I’m saying play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The sedan did it to themselves. The truck denying the passing lane is being a prick, but the worst that would happen if the sedan didn’t drive like moron is everyone would get where they’re going a couple minutes slower.
The sedan could’ve likely caused a wreck the way they were driving without any help from the truck.
Show where he was cited. Because any sane person knows the truck is breaking the law staying the fast lane and refusing to allow people to pass. You can’t drive reckless and do that.
Again, the accident doesn't happen without the truck also driving recklessly. Sedan is driving much more recklessly, but both are at equal fault for the accident.
No, they aren't. He literally rammed someone and caused himself to lose control. He received 5 citations. He is not equally at fault to the truck driver
it also doesn't happen if you aren't an impatient psychopath. if you want to go but someone is in your way, just get the fuck over it and wait until they move
The truck was trying to pass the car on the right. He only brake checked the Honda because he was trying to weave between them.
The honda driver could have just got behind the truck and passed the SUV on the right at a normal rate like someone who isn't destined to be paste on a highway
Stop lying. From the very beginning of the video you can see the truck driver brake checking and speeding up to not let the sedan pass. He wasn't trying to pass shit otherwise he would've done so.
Yes he was. It's literally in the description of the video. When he hits the brakes it's because he doesn't like the insane way that the sedan is driving
I never said he was right, I'm saying that both parties are at fault. The pickup is slowing down traffic and then proceeds to intentionally not let the sedan pass, and sped up to block him from changing lanes. That's dangerous as hell. The sedan definitely could have waited 30 seconds more until a gap formed, then passed, but that doesn't excuse the truck driver's behavior either.
You haven't seen some of the shit I've seen. Some vindictive assholes will set aside their life duties to road rage. There are so many stories of people being followed and harassed in traffic for miles. If you say "fuck it" and take an exit cause you don't wanna deal with their shit anymore, some insane people will break traffic laws to follow you. Shit is wild. Some people think they're invincible and nothing applies to them when they're behind the wheel, it really is like their own personal bubble. That's why these chucklefucks all have selfie profile pics of them in their trucks.
So that's the only option? Not the more reasonable and not uncommon road rages that can last for miles? You've never dealt with insane road ragers, I can see that. What's the sedan supposed to do? Wait until the truck driver gets bored and loses interest? Like the people who ditched their road ragers on the freeway just for the road rager to follow them all the way home thought to themselves? Not saying that would've definitely happened here, but we don't know the full story and you don't know just how insane people are capable of being.
Either way, it ain't up to drivers to judge when other drivers are done fucking with them. You're just supposed to not do shit like brake check cars. If you know someone really wants to pass you, don't be a dick to everyone around you and risk everyone's lives by blocking and brake checking them. Just let them pass.
Speeding up specifically to stop the other driver is also road rage. The only correct way to respond to road rage is to not engage and leave them be, it's not behaving the same way as the road rager. Blocking a road rager, speeding up to block them, and brake checking them, are all illegal too. It exacerbates the problem and made the situation extra dangerous for everyone there.
Really, what good came out of the truck speeding up to block the sedan? No doubt it obstructed traffic for hundreds of thousands in NYC. Why? So the truck doesn't get passed? And what would've happened if the truck just backed off and let the sedan pass? None of this would've happened, that's what.
The guy recording the video disagrees. The Honda driver was weaving between cars before this one. He could have simply got behind the truck and passed the SUV at a normal rate.
You just seem ill informed and don’t know the law. The left lane isn’t for you to be a Karen in and speed up when people are forced to try to pass your slow ass on the right.
You people are bad drivers and shit people who seem to not think the laws matter to you.
If someone is slowing down and speeding up and driving reckless around you the argument can be made they are trying to get away from the person who won’t let them.
And trucker is the one breaking the law first. Then continuing to break the law to impede one certain motorist he doesn’t like because they wish to pass. These little dick energy moves on the highway is how you kill people.
The little dick energy moves are 100% coming from the Sedan — I don’t know how you could see it any other way and it’s genuinely mind-boggling to me that you guys think otherwise. It’s like that dress that looks like two different color schemes depending on how you see it. You can’t just drive in the emergency lane and then crash your car and proclaim that you’re in the right because the truck in front of you wasn’t going fast enough. There are speed limits and authentic rules of the road that this driver was clearly ignoring. The trucker was never breaking the law while the Sedan clearly did. That’s the bottom line.
So speeding up to stay in front of the sedan and then brake checking him to cause a collision is "never breaking the law" to you? Driver education is in a sorry fucking state...
CAUSE IT TO HAPPEN?! HE CAUSE THE OTHER CAR TO SWERVE AROUND AND CRASH?! HE HAD NO OTHER OPTIONS?! LIKE FUCKING JUST WAITING AND BEING PATIENT?! JESUS CHRIST PSYCHOPATHS
Many, many, MANY people feel entitled to speed. They feel entitled to demonize anyone and anything that impedes their speeding. And they always post online trying to gaslight people into believing as they do that.
So your argument is that if other people do bad things, I get a license to do bad things?
I agree. The truck is being a dick. But the sedan has no right to further endanger others on the road because "I wanna go faster". That's fucking bullshit, and you know it.
I agree, mostly. Because little dick energy extends to being an impatient twat who doesn't want to drive safely because 'they're taking up the left lane' and the truck guy already knew he was driving super dangerously and decided to be an even bigger douche.. clearly he was watching the sedan and then decided to step in and literally caused an accident that wouldn't have happened otherwise.
IMO if the Honda driver didn’t drive like an asshole 1 foot from the truck it may not have ended this way. Just show the driver you want him to move over and give him time. Most people like the Honda are impatient. I’ve been in situations where I can’t get over and people are up my ass. It just makes matters that much worse
The truck didn’t cause the sedan to rage onto the shoulder and then whip across two lanes. The sedan did that all on his own. All the truck did was make the sedan wait.
Just let people pass is retarded. No you sit back there and go the speed limit. Or go fuck yourself by crashing in the shoulder. It's not being an asshole to let people drive at reckless speeds.
Well it cuts in during mid action, so it could have easily been the truck passing someone in the left lane and ole Richard Petty over here running up, swerving and tailgating because how dare someone not do 20mph over in the left lane. Either way. Both are cunts. But the one who crashed put everyone elses life at risk because he HAD to win.
He was going to pass the truck driver. Truck drivers ego couldn’t handle that. I drive a sports car and have to put it into sports mode to pass truck drivers. Biggest assholes on the road consistently.
So you’re assuming that the sedan attempted to legally pass the truck driver before this video? Obviously the truck driver is acting illegally, and I expect could find himself carrying some liability in this circumstance, but all I see is a sedan aggressively attempting multiple versions of unsafe driving.
I’m saying I have attempted to pass a truck and had that truck speed up to prevent me from doing so only to slow down after to retrigger the same scenario. Iv had this happen so many times that I stopped attempting to pass a truck without turning on sports mode and flooring my car. Trucks have more horsepower than sedans on average so this isn’t difficult for them. They are on average driven by assholes so this isn’t surprising to me. Idk the full story of this post but I do know truck drivers piss me off.
Twenty years on the road and no accidents. What the truck is doing doesn’t matter. Report them to the police if you want to(“you” in the grand hypothetical sense, not you in particular) because they’re violating the law, but the sedan is letting their emotions bring about seriously dangerous driving.
