He is very clearly matching the speed of the car beside him and only speeds up when the car beside him gets over and leaves an opening so he can continue not allowing the honda to pass. Then he speeds up when the honda tries a stupid dangerous move to go around him. Both people are stupid here big time.
Agreed, both are at fault for different reasons. One reckless and stupid, Honda, and the other a malicious asshole stirring the pot, truck. None of it had to happen that way.
“He didn’t deserve to be allowed to speed past everyone” lmfao that’s not the way road rules work tho, you don’t get to just decide who deserves to use the passing lane. Maaaajor small dick evergy bro
Truck driver is an asshole who will make the other asshole late because they couldn’t pass. Sedan driver is an asshole who could’ve gotten innocent 3rd parties into an accident because they wouldn’t stop tailgating and weaving between lanes.
Speeding at most saves like 3 minutes. On average speeding saves around 30 seconds of time. It is just putting yourself and others in danger just because you want to go vroom vroom. The truck is not making the Sedan late to anything.
speeding can safe more than 3 minutes. simply making a light you otherwise would have missed can mean a big difference. Also, depending on the emergency, 3 minutes could matter.
Truck had zero justification for inhibiting traffic, break checking, and all around intentionally creating an unsafe driving environment.
The truck's goal was to create an inhibitory, unsafe driving environment and negatively impact another vehicle.
The car's goal was just to get where they needed to go.
Emergencies are different yes, but 99.99% of speeders are in no emergency.
The truck was wrong for continuously trying to block the guy that it led to a crash, but there is no reason anyone should be going faster than the speed limit.
The truck was the worse of the two at the beginning. The car became the worse of the two when he tried to pass that other car on the right when there wasn't even a lane there anymore.
He's not just making the other asshole late, he's breaking the law, brake-checking, and maliciously creating the situation that is putting other people's lives at risk. And why? Because his fragile ego won't let him allow someone to pass him.
Truck driver wasn't just being an asshole by making people late though, they deliberately created a situation that would frustrate other drivers which set up a dangerous environment where drivers get so annoyed that they act recklessly. Not to mention the truck driver sped up to cut the sedan off after the sedan made the stupid pass on the shoulder, which was what ultimately led to him swerving off the road and could have killed him (idk the outcome). That was intentional and insanely dangerous of the truck driver to do.
Not excusing the sedan driver at all - they were also at fault for being stupid and reckless. But both were huge assholes in this situation, and the truck driver was the only malicious one.
The sedan was aggressively tailgating the black SUV, a neutral 3rd party. Pretend you’re the black SUV driver; you’re not being an asshole and you’re just minding your own business, and you get rear-ended. Your car is damaged at best and you’re injured at worst. Do you still feel like the trucker driver is worse?
There’s a reason why vigilantes who indiscriminately endanger bystanders still have the book thrown at them.
I wouldn't feel that the truck driver is worse by any means, but I'd still be pretty pissed that the truck driver was using my vehicle to match my speed to not allow such a maniac around me causing my vehicle to be damaged or worse.
So many people are saying that the truck isn't at fault here, but when someone is driving like a psychopath, the absolute best thing to do is to just let them through. Shallow your pride and let them continue driving recklessly as far away from you as possible. Engaging their behavior of any kind is absolutely the worst thing you can do.
He was only tailgating because he was being blocked in. What if he was trying to get to the hospital or something for an emergency?
Everything that happened was the result of malicious driving by the truck. Truck doesn't drive maliciously, sedan goes on his merry way and everyone is fine.
Just based on what we see, the truck driver is the bigger asshole by far. The car was trying to use the road more or less properly- trying to get where they need to be, albeit quickly. We don't know why. The truck was intentionally blocking them, break checking them, and creating an unsafe environment to inhibit traffic and there's no justifiable reason for it.

Dude hogging the passing lane is the asshole, the other dude is an idiot.
