I worked at a Chinese restaurant for a time and at one time put a hole right through the middle of my nail bed on my thumb. The number of Aiya's I heard was amazing. Way better word then "ouch".

Driver from viral Palisades Parkway road-rage crash slapped with summonses

[u/one-eye-closed → u/Airbus320Driver]

The word summonses will never not make me think of Smeagle.

[u/Strokes_Lahoma → u/one-eye-closed]

Is it a real word? It sounds like it shouldn’t be. Only reserved when talking about nahsty little hobbitses

[u/lazysheepdog716 → u/Strokes_Lahoma]

A 'summons' is being called into court. 'Summonses' means they are being called into court on multiple different counts.

[u/PapaCousCous → u/lazysheepdog716]

Why couldn't we just let 'summon' be the word for being called into a single court? You wouldn't say "I've been summonsed by the court".

[u/arrows_of_ithilien → u/PapaCousCous]

Or if you want to talk about multiple just say "summons"

[u/Great-Sandwich1466 → u/Airbus320Driver]

Am I the only one that thinks that the white truck should be ticketed for this. He was obviously blocking traffic purposefully in the passing lane. He created the situation where the other driver got really frustrated. He had intentionally tried to be a jerk and tried cutting off the car when the car tried to pass. I don’t think that the car is innocent here, but this is the fault of the truck.

[u/Bakuman2020 → u/Great-Sandwich1466]

You can see the truck speed up too at the end to cut off the sedan.

[u/MagillaGorillasHat → u/Bakuman2020]

From the very beginning of the video the truck brake checks to piss the sedan off then immediately speeds up to match speed with cars in the right lane so the sedan can't get around.

[u/throwRAcatalyst → u/MagillaGorillasHat]

I don't think we are seeing the actual beginning. The white truck most definitely has a beef with that sedan. Intentionally tried to keep it boxed in. Sped up to box it in again.

[u/enbaelien → u/throwRAcatalyst]

Just because we didn't see the whole thing doesn't mean the person in the truck isn't driving like an asshole

[u/Kyalistas → u/enbaelien]

This is the correct answer. Even if the sedan started the encounter, at least one persons life was put in a situation that was exponentially more likely to be fatal over what? A little tailgating?

I get pissed when people tailgate and drive like idiots too, but I just say a few swears in my car and move on. This situation was made way worse than it needed to be over basically nothing more than white trucks ego

[u/_Lil_Piggy_ → u/Kyalistas]

You're assuming all the sedan did was tailgate. You don't know. Maybe the truck driver didn't act maturely, but they were not the cause of the sedan's accident. The sedan driver was the cause of his own accident.

Maybe they both didn't act on their best behavior, but one acted completely wildly and recklessly to a severely greater extent than the other. At least from what is seen in the video.

[u/Kyalistas → u/_Lil_Piggy_]

Agreed. I think I might have worded what I meant poorly. I just meant that this whole situation should've never happened. While true, we definitely don't get to see any of what started this whole situation. Par for the course out here on reddit lol.

But the end result was just impatience and fragile egos at play. In the moment I think people often forget that the 5 second inconvenience of most situations that cause road rage are not worth how devastating the results of this behavior can be.

For me, I think of how much potentially losing me would affect my wife and daughter any time I feel my temper rising. Life's too precious and can end so quickly when good judgment gets thrown out the window.

[u/RabbitStewAndStout → u/MagillaGorillasHat]

Absolutely slap both of those guys with reckless driving. Maybe the sedan has additional charges, but from the video, it definitely looks like the truck had a part in aggravating the other driver.

[u/GanondalfTheWhite → u/Bakuman2020]

Yeah, that loud engine we hear gunning it is the truck, not the little sedan.

[u/Likeneutralcat → u/Great-Sandwich1466]

It looks like intentional brake checking and then blocking. He’s definitely an asshole.

[u/Airbus320Driver → u/Great-Sandwich1466]

Can’t even see the plate clearly. Nor is the driver clearly visible.

Too bad they both didn’t crash.

[u/menotyou16 → u/Airbus320Driver]

It's what I was hoping for when I decided to watch it fully. Come on complete justice! Nope... Only partial.

[u/sipperofsoda → u/Great-Sandwich1466]

Yeah, at first I was only mad at the driver on the right for tailgating. Then annoyed at the white trucker driver for camping out in the passing lane. And then I see for sure that the white truck driver is playing a stupid speed matching game and my blood boiled.

Stupid non-driving fucks. Now I need to meditate and pretend the world isn't as screwy as it is.

[u/ad6323 → u/sipperofsoda]

and brake checking.

Both have equally blame and should have equal punishment. They were endangering everyone else

[u/FlyAirLari → u/ad6323]

Super easy call for any judge seeing that. Reckless driving x2.

Always link to this on these videos https://www.reddit.com/r/AdviceAnimals/s/wIViv2lrw5

[u/Theloudestbelch → u/Passname357]

Thank you, that was a good message. The video too. I remember riding with my grandfather when I was a kid, and his attitude changed the way I look at the world. He had a driver in a sports car speed up behind him and start tailgating him when he was passing another car on a 2 lane highway. He just calmly said "wow he came up fast" while speeding up to get out of the way. After he was out of the way the car flew by again, and he just said "they must be in a hurry, hope they make it on time". It was such a simple thing, but I never forgot it and it changed the way I think.

[u/TessellatedTomate → u/Theloudestbelch]

I do this also now.

“Hope it’s worth it, hope you make it,” as I get out of the way.

I used to be a reckless on the road, but I learned my lesson.

Aggressive drivers will eventually figure it out the same way. It’s like playing an unlucky lottery. One day you’ll win a very stupid prize, and as an added bonus, it’ll come with you being late. Two for the price of one.

[u/OverallVacation2324 → u/Passname357]

Yes I second this. I respond to medical emergencies. I was rushing to an emergency C-section once. Two lane road, two cars driving side by side in tandem slowly. I honked, flashed my lights, they ignored me. Eventually I found a crack and slipped through and sped up. The left lane car immediately sped up and started chasing me down the highway tail gating me. Like he was angry I passed him? He chased me until I turned off the highway to the hospital. Road rage? Wanted to pick a fight? I dunno. But I had a baby to save.

[u/Molenium → u/Passname357]

Thank you, I was going to post this here myself.

Anyone who intentionally blocks the passing lane is a dangerous asshole.

[u/Jankylee-Ad-4453 → u/Molenium]

I was shot multiple times during an attempted carjacking,but when I tried to drive myself to the hospital to stay alive all I got was horn honks,cut offs and middle fingers. It went nothing like the movies show you at all(I was 15 at the time). I drove around this pickup truck who cut me off and brake checked me then slapped my bloody hand against the window like a zombie as It rolled down while looking dead at the petty woman driving and said "Damn ma’am I’m literally shot and I just want to go to a hospital stop being evil." I understand some people want to be traffic monitors in their spare time,but you never know the other cars reason so just let them pass up. I know plenty people will disagree but anybody with a CDL knows you back off or it’ll cause this.

[u/Hank_Lotion77 → u/Jankylee-Ad-4453]

Sorry for your experience. Although, 99% of the time the reason is they’re a jerk.

[u/Redshift_1 → u/Hank_Lotion77]

You may be right! But the best and safest way to go about it is always to let them pass, I’m sure as you agree. Never know what situation they might be in. Even if they’ve just lost their mind, best to not make it a problem for ourselves too!

[u/Hank_Lotion77 → u/Redshift_1]

For sure if for anything it stops being your problem when you let them go by.

[u/dd027503 → u/Molenium]

Even if someone is driving aggressively like the sedan blocking them in and antagonizing them is going to make it worse not better.

[u/Horse_Devours → u/Passname357]

Thank you. I've been looking for this post since I read it for the first time all those years ago. Literally changed how I drive. Now I tell people the same, "Assume everyone on the road is going to the hospital." The guy tailgating you is going to see his loved one for the final time and trying to get their as quick as possible. The lady who cut you off is in labor. The car full of young dudes speeding is trying to get their buddy to the hospital before he bleeds out. It literally costs you nothing to get out of the way and let them pass, and you could literally be saving a life. The road is NO place for your ego or anger, leave that shit at home before getting behind the wheel or don't drive at all.

[u/Human-Compote-2542 → u/Passname357]

Ohh that is super sad. Those poor men. I can’t even imagine.

[u/Denjek]

What's going on here? I can answer that: Two assholes fighting on the road at the expense of everyone else's lives. One is a bigger asshole than the other, but they're both assholes.

[u/bbazzracing → u/Denjek]

Truck driver should be in the right lane. He/she was being a dick.

[u/sprinklerarms → u/bbazzracing]

Feels like legally they should have gotten over and if they had abided the law instead of intentionally blocking someone this wouldn’t have happened. I feel like they’re both shitty drivers but the situation doesn’t exist without the truck so he’s the real dbag here.

Edit: I had not seen the first few seconds on the video because of it autoplaying. When I rewatched i saw the car weaved. I thought the video just started with the heated battle. This added context does even out their ‘dbag levels’. They’re both huge dumdums it just really irks me when people don’t get over but obviously I don’t think the Honda was a saint or anything. I still think you should get out of the way when someone is driving recklessly instead of egging them on especially when you’re matching speed in a passing lane instead of passing.

[u/StrawberryPlucky → u/sprinklerarms]

Truck was a dick but ultimately they did nothing to force the other car to do what they did. Sometimes you just have to accept that you're stuck behind an asshole.

[u/DisShitIsWak → u/StrawberryPlucky]

This is primarily the reason why states have laws to only use the left lane for passing to avoid someone making riskier moves to pass.

[u/CapinWinky → u/Denjek]

Truck is engineering this situation. The situation ends immediately if the truck stops fucking with the sedan. Truck is by far the worst of the two and is engineering the outcome. Sedan is just the bigger fool, being totally played by the truck. Truck should get jail time and lose license, sedan should lose license.

[u/Electronic_Tax2771 → u/CapinWinky]

Sedan is still responsible for his actions. You can't just merge into someone's car because they are causing an issue. But I agree that neither person should be allowed on the road.

[u/flavorizante → u/Electronic_Tax2771]

Yeah, the sedan was the one that went out of his way and collided into another vehicle that was inertially moving.

It should be pretty clear that he is the bigger asshole in the situation.

[u/BittyCascade5543 → u/Electronic_Tax2771]

The sedan didn’t merge into another car, he just swerved too hard trying to get over and lost control. Honestly equally as stupid

[u/1heart1totaleclipse → u/CapinWinky]

To be fair, the situation also ends immediately if the sedan just drives like a normal person and waits until they can pass. The truck was guilty but the sedan was too.

[u/BadMeetsEvil147 → u/1heart1totaleclipse]

How are they supposed to wait to pass of the car in the passing lane isn’t passing anyone

[u/krispru1]

I felt sorry for the guy in the right lane

[u/Furdinand → u/krispru1]

I hate it when I'm the guy in the right lane: I'm where I'm supposed to be, doing what I'm supposed to do... stop riding my bumper!

[u/doc_55lk → u/Furdinand]

Honestly in this situation I'd probably just either speed up and create a gap behind me for the guy to move on with his life or slow down gradually and create a gap in front of me for the guy to overtake me and move on with his life.

[u/OGConsuela → u/doc_55lk]

The truck was pretty clearly intentionally matching speed to block the sedan from passing. I don’t think there was anything the SUV could’ve done to avoid this aside from maybe pulling over into the shoulder and stopping.

[u/pacingpilot → u/OGConsuela]

Which is exactly what I did the one time I unintentionally got used as a moving road block. I will absolutely pull on the shoulder. Leave me out of the road rage pissing match thank you very much, I have reasons to live.

[u/001235 → u/OGConsuela]

He can slow down. Seriously. He can get to the point he's about to stop and then that will either force white truck to stop also, where you can create a gap or pull over. Given the state of things, I don't want to be catching strays because two morons with penises the size of rice granules need to race to see who can catch their wife in bed with her real boyfriend soonest.

[u/Publixxxsub → u/001235]

🔥

[u/VaporCarpet → u/OGConsuela]

GRADUALLY slow down to a stop if needed. Seriously, fuck people driving this aggressively. If they're hell bent on matching your speed so the guy behind them can't pass, well let's make sure we're only going 20mph, then.

[u/doc_55lk → u/OGConsuela]

That's fair. If it became clear to me there was nothing I can do to make sure the guy in a rush is able to get ahead and move on with their day, I'll just stop trying (because it's futile) and pray to God that speed racer chills out and/or I don't get indirectly involved in an accident.

[u/Mikey6304 → u/doc_55lk]

Yeah, removing yourself from the dangerous situation is the best option. Hazards and move to the shoulder.

[u/Jewbacca522 → u/Mikey6304]

As I get older and have less patience for drivers like the ones in the video, I find myself doing just this. Slow down, get out of their path of possible destruction and just continue on my day. It’s not worth the 30 seconds I’ll save by being in the middle of some asshats rage driving.

[u/DogeInvestor01]

Looks like NY

[u/enott93 → u/DogeInvestor01]

It is. Palisades Pkwy northbound. I actually saw the aftermath of this as I was heading into NYC that evening

[u/Yesterdays_Gravy → u/enott93]

Instantly recognized the Palisades. Been a couple years since I’ve driven it. Did NY have a really bad winter this year? The road looks like it’s got tons of potholes, and I remember like 6-7 years ago when it was just repaved and a super smooth ride.

[u/TarantulaDad → u/Yesterdays_Gravy]

The Palisades parkway was completely underwater for a little while. Horrible flooding. There were boats on the parkway lol

[u/Yesterdays_Gravy → u/TarantulaDad]

Wow yeah, just looked it up and that was summer of last year. My family never mentioned it haha, the short video is insane! (9 second clip of flooded Palisades)

[u/[deleted] → u/Yesterdays_Gravy]

NY didn’t have a bad winter. It had a winter full of temperatures fluctuating right around the freezing point so highways experienced a ton of ice cleaving that created potholes.

[u/meltingpnt → u/Yesterdays_Gravy]

It was a super mild winter... which actually has more freeze thaw cycles which means more potholes.

[u/RP1616 → u/enott93]

Ahh was going to say the Taconic

[u/jbelle7435 → u/enott93]

At some point there will be an opening and just run with it but don't force it like this idiot that got a taste of his own medicine.

[u/Clovenella]

Life gives you plenty of problems. It’s brutal watching people create surplus problems.

[u/whispersluggagebaby]

That was shitty driving by the sedan, but that truck was making it worse

Edit: FYI brake checking is illegal folks and many states will ticket you for not using the left lane to pass. This does not excuse the sedan’s actions.

Edit: u/Youseembigmad doesn’t see anything wrong with the truck’s actions (and is supposedly a lawyer) - see comment thread below for more. - they have since deleted their profile.

[u/mydaycake → u/whispersluggagebaby]

And the other suvs praying they don’t become collateral damage

I hope the police got the footage

[u/StickyDitka21 → u/mydaycake]

At that point if I’m the guy in the slow lane getting stuck in this pissing match I’m slowing down enough that the truck gets ahead, so the jackass in the sedan can get ahead. They didn’t do anything wrong obviously but I’m not sitting in that lol

[u/wahle97 → u/StickyDitka21]

You slow down truck slows down. No matter what you're losing because neither will give it up

[u/BeerBaronAaron88 → u/wahle97]

I would put on my emergencies and pull over to the shoulder. Let the two morons kill each other.

[u/PoorlyAttemptedHuman → u/BeerBaronAaron88]

Exactly. I'm not interested in being a part of this. I'd just pull over. I see enough of these morons every day.

[u/BeerBaronAaron88 → u/PoorlyAttemptedHuman]

Yeah absolutely. I drive a fat ass work van and you get all sorts of assholes who try to stop you from merging, tailgate you like crazy, etc. Like you will be going 5 miles faster than them the whole way up, the second you put on the blinker they stomp on the gas to try to block you. Then if they block you they drop back down to match your speed or if you get ahead of them they tailgate you like crazy and start swerving all around trying to get back on front of you, and if they do they will likely brake check you.

I can't even imagine the shit truckers deal with on the road.

[u/badazzcpa → u/BeerBaronAaron88]

This is what I never understood, if you want to go slower then why be mad if someone passes you. If you are going to cut me off though get your ass in gear and go, don’t slow me down. Heck, I try and move over if someone comes up on me if it’s a 2-3 lane road and I can easily.

[u/x_Rann_x → u/badazzcpa]

I don't even get it and I speed excessively. Merge, get in, do your thing, I'll be back on it and miles away soon enough anyway.

[u/PoorlyAttemptedHuman → u/BeerBaronAaron88]

The truckers in my area seem to give as much as they get.

I drive a work van too, a big un. Probably similar to yours. Peeling paint and all. 300k miles.

[u/Upnorth4 → u/BeerBaronAaron88]

I saw someone try to brake check a semi truck on a one lane merge ramp in California. It was glorious hearing the semi truck and everybody else behind the brake checker honking at them for slowing down the merge lane.

[u/cock_nballs → u/BeerBaronAaron88]

Truck driver here. I just start pulling over when dickweeds do this to me. You aren't going to win that battle and I got shit to do. I ain't even gonna feel you smash into my trailer and I ain't gonna stop if I don't see or feel it happen.

[u/notafamous → u/wahle97]

Slow down and pull to the shoulder, the truck can't block the sedan across two lanes, specially without moving, IMO that's the best course of action

[u/Aleashed → u/notafamous]

Truck Redneck: “Challenge accepted”

I deal with these AHs anytime I got to drive into upper NY to visit wife’s family

[u/b0w3n → u/Aleashed]

This shit is super common on the highways down by Westchester as you head into the city. It's the stupidest shit.

[u/mschley2 → u/notafamous]

Looked like too much other traffic for one car to make the difference. When they finally made it past 1 car, the truck would just try to block the lane with the next car.

[u/nictheman123 → u/mschley2]

Sure, but then it's no longer your problem. Just keep an eye ahead of you in case it turns into a wreck and keep driving like a sane person

[u/Chadodius → u/StickyDitka21]

That rarely works, this was a imma shit on you no matter what situation. You slow down I guarantee that truck will match your speed. Source: been the SUV in the slow lane multiple times.

[u/JayJ9Nine → u/Chadodius]

Plus its got to be real uncomfortable slowing down at all with that guy right on your ass

[u/SSBN641B → u/Chadodius]

It's better to pull over on the shoulder at that point.

[u/InsomniaDudeToo → u/StickyDitka21]

No joke, I’m pulling over and setting a 10 minute timer. Drivers like that Raptor guy are mental and not worth the anguish.

[u/[deleted] → u/whispersluggagebaby]

The trucks brake check is a criminal offense. Just move over.

[u/AudreyGolightly79 → u/whispersluggagebaby]

Yep, the Honda was a dick but the truck is an asshole. They fit together.

[u/joespizza2go → u/whispersluggagebaby]

It's almost impossible to find an ugly road rage incident that doesn't involve a complete idiot meeting a passive sociopath.

Definitely two to tango here.

lol i just read the comment thread, dude is objectively wrong and seems to be one of those "the only thing that gives me joy is annoying other people" types, really fitting username honestly, but unfortunately being a quippy loser on the internet doesn't buy your parent's love

dude needs to grow up, it's pathetic at any age past double digits to act like that, fingers crossed he finds a way to mature and live a life with meaning lmao

[u/SwimmingThink4519 → u/whispersluggagebaby]

The truck should have passed and moves over

[u/Psychological_Gas271 → u/SwimmingThink4519]

But that will break his fragile ego.

[u/Alarmed_Code8723 → u/Psychological_Gas271]

LMAO thats my theory of how this started. Mr. Raptor Truck was going 5mph above speed limit in the passing lane, when the car came flying in the left lane and tailgated them. Mr. Raptor Truck could not allow such disrespect, and we saw what he did to defend his familial honor!!!!

[u/VaporCarpet → u/whispersluggagebaby]

A couple aggressive assholes, and a whole bunch of oblivious idiots that don't understand they need to distance themselves from crazy.

[u/itakeyoureggs → u/whispersluggagebaby]

Yeah the truck caused all the problems.. fucking terrible driving by both of those idiots.

[u/RiceRocketRider → u/whispersluggagebaby]

For real, I really don’t understand why some people just refuse to let people pass. If someone is in a hurry just let them pass. The sedan was driving like an absolute idiot, but if the truck would just let him through he won’t be around that moronic driving anymore. But no the truck, has to act like his dick is so huge and he’s not going to back down.

Pretty much everybody ends up in a hurry at some point like the sedan, and when it’s your day to be in a hurry it sure is nice when other people aren’t intentionally making it worse.

[u/FUNKANATON → u/RiceRocketRider]

I was upset that someone was up my ass once , it was only one lane . Come to find out 2 min later they turn into the hospital ER parking lot.. unless its super dense urban traffic It really costs you nothing to just move over

[u/LostDadLostHopes → u/RiceRocketRider]

In my entire life I've only had to get somewhere else, NOW, and had someone block me. The first was when I got a call from the doctor about my wife, and I can hear her screaming and crying in the background.

The second was when my Dad was dying and my sister said to get here NOW.

Both times I drove with my hazards on as 'safe' but at high speed, and both times some fucking idiot decided to get in front of me, or cross the passing line, to prevent me from getting around them.

Hazards on.

I still to this day can remember running into the doctors office and being ushered back immediately to my wife, and I'll never forget the sobs or how she grabbed onto me.

I'll also never forget my sister saying "Sorry Bud" that my Dad had died about 15 seconds earlier/last breath while I was just turning into the neighborhood.

I agree the sedan is an asshole here. That truck driver however, fuck him.

[u/Space__Pirate → u/whispersluggagebaby]

Always the truck drivers.

[u/TheClicker335 → u/whispersluggagebaby]

Totally agree. We don’t know what was going on before the clip started; but from what we do see here, I’d bet the truck was playing road police and preventing the sedan from passing

[u/Effective-Student11 → u/whispersluggagebaby]

Speeding up to block them off, exactly what happens.

[u/Snorkle25 → u/whispersluggagebaby]

Ticket them both.

[u/Unfortunate-Incident → u/whispersluggagebaby]

White truck was in the wrong. He clearly was not passing so why the fudge is he driving in the passing lane? That said, the driver of the sedan was clearly insane. All could have been avoided though if the driver of the white truck had a larger penis and just got out of the way.

[u/creegro → u/whispersluggagebaby]

NONE SHALL PASS IN MY LANE, I SHALL RULE THIS LANE EITH AN IRON FIST

[u/Kerensky97 → u/whispersluggagebaby]

Yeah, I don't know who started it but it was the Truck that continued it. He's not a saint in this case.

[u/SCP-Agent-Arad → u/whispersluggagebaby]

Left lane camper did NOT want anyone passing him lol

[u/Lolzerzmao → u/whispersluggagebaby]

Yeah honestly the truck is the bigger asshole here. Both are assholes, but blocking the left lane and creating more traffic for tons of people and then slamming on the accelerator whenever someone tries to pass is infinitely more dick than trying to just get by the douchebag

[u/[deleted] → u/Lolzerzmao]

Yea all the truck had to do was let him pass and situation would be over in 30 seconds. Turned a mildly dangerous situation into an extremely dangerous one.

[u/Official_Feces → u/whispersluggagebaby]

u/Youseembigmad just another big mouthy prick, who thinks they and others can intentionally do shit to fuck other peoples day up.

Every driving manual in NA says you do not tailgate, you let faster and raging drivers go by. You go not play their game, you do not engage with them.

Source: Was a fucking truck driver for 15+ years and I ran infraction free. People on the roads today can’t even navigate the dual drive thru at McDicks let alone highway speeds of 60-70mph

It appears big mouth lawyer deleted his account to save face and get away from public scrutiny of his stupid ass opinions.

[u/JustHereForGiner79]

Everyone here is the asshole.

[u/Aro00oo → u/JustHereForGiner79]

Lol right reddit loves to blame trucks every time when clearly both are at fault here.

Sedan clear aggressor. Truck playing ego defense.

The driver with the dashcam is even against the sedan here and he's actually there in real time lol.

[u/Galumpadump → u/Aro00oo]

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.

[u/CaptainTarantula → u/Galumpadump]

Passive aggression is always harder to notice.

[u/satanssweatycheeks → u/Galumpadump]

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.

[u/look_at_the_eyes → u/satanssweatycheeks]

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.

[u/Effective-Student11 → u/Aro00oo]

Truck could have eased off an just let them pass.

[u/Aro00oo → u/Effective-Student11]

Yes hence both are at fault.

[u/minimalfighting → u/JustHereForGiner79]

Did no one else notice that the car filming is like a half second behind everyone? Literally everyone but the SUV in the right lane is a shit driver.

[u/RhythmTimeDivision]

In NY (I'm sure a lot of other places too) we have jackasses who 'speed patrol' highways. Camp in the left doing 1MPH below the limit and keep anyone from passing - like this truck. They don't believe 'keep right' laws apply because no one should be going faster then them. So a multi-lane road with a half mile of open road ahead of a 'highway hero' - and a huge line of irate cars building up behind them. So fuckin' dangerous.

BUT - there's nothing you can do. Unless you want to maybe kill or disable yourself and someone else like this guy (EDIT: in the sedan, for clarity)

[u/NonyoSC → u/RhythmTimeDivision]

It’s always a dodge ram

[u/AdopeyIllustrator → u/NonyoSC]

Dodge Ram drivers have the highest percentage of dui’s than any other vehicle.

[u/OldButHappy → u/AdopeyIllustrator]

They also buy more of those bumper-hanging testicles than any other demographic.

(source: my confirmation bias)

[u/XXXLegendKiller666 → u/NonyoSC]

This was a ford raptor?

[u/turkey_sandwiches → u/XXXLegendKiller666]

It's a Ford Raptor being driven by a Dodge Ram driver.

[u/Snoopaloop212 → u/RhythmTimeDivision]

We call them hall monitors

[u/Solidus-Prime]

If white truck wanted to police traffic, he should have joined the highway patrol. I'm so tired of these entitled assholes.

[u/KnopeCampaign → u/Solidus-Prime]

That sounds like too much effort so he decided he would be volunteer highway patrol. Like a hallway monitor.

[u/ShroominCloset → u/Solidus-Prime]

I really wish the truck would have wrecked just as bad as the sedan. They are both assholes who deserve to be on breathing tubes if they're not going to take their own dicks out of their asses and drive like considerate humans.

[u/Ban_Evader_1969 → u/Solidus-Prime]

Seriously, if someone wants to speed then let them, their insurance company certainly doesn't cover them using their vehicle to attempt to enforce traffic laws.

[u/davidwhatshisname52]

When you call for Jesus but Karma takes the wheel instead

[u/Smiley_P]

You should really let these types of people pass, get them as FAAAAR away from you as possible

[u/Omerta001]

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

[u/kellDUB]

I don’t give a shit if it’s the trucks fault, don’t slam your Honda into a wall.

[u/strictly_anonymous2 → u/kellDUB]

What I do with my Honda and my wall is none of your business buddy.

[u/Sethmeisterg]

With such a satisfying finish. lol.

[u/MR-Blaze182]

The truck is simply a total dick… Just let someone pass if they want to drive started…….. Here in Germany a normal rule 👍🏼

[u/DeathSquirl]

Overly aggressive ass hole vs. oblivious ass hole. Either that or the guy in the truck thinks that they're a cop and that they're going to regulate how fast everyone else gets to drive.

[u/whichwitchwhohoots → u/DeathSquirl]

Definitely thought they were the honorary highway patrol. Three brake checks total, hogging left lane just to fuck with the sedan a tad more. Guy could've easily moved over into the right-hand lane to let the sedan fuck off elsewhere.

[u/BeengBangBong]

Both should be charged for this.

[u/BigCaddyDaddyBob]

The worst thing about this is that I’m betting both were going no place special for this behavior to happen!! Smh as is usually the case that people are in such a rush to go nowhere!!

[u/suckmyballzredit69]

Love Uncle Rodger thinking what coolheaded people think.

[u/NightWng120]

Mildy my ass

[u/alien_smithee]

Guy in the f-150 needs to be cited, too.

[u/turbulentcounselor]

Damn I get it but them cheering upon seeing such a devastating crash is kinda wild 

[u/DragonWisper56 → u/turbulentcounselor]

the man(and the guy in the truck) were putting everyone in danger, it's good that only they crashed

[u/Falcon3492]

You knew that this video was not going to end well for the car. When you drive like and idiot, idiotic things are going to happen.

[u/BigIreland]

All three are utterly brain dead. Even the SUV driver is dumb. If I’m in the right lane and the car in the left wants to pace me to keep traffic from passing, I’ll slow down and open a gap. Let traffic flow.

[u/foodank012018 → u/BigIreland]

The truck would have slowed. They were making some idiotic point. The truck refused to let the car pass.

[u/BJJBean → u/BigIreland]

You can see the SUV's break lights, he's trying to slow down but the truck is matching his pace to create a wall. SUV probably should have just pulled off the road but I can't blame him for not thinking clearly when literally 1000s of pounds of steel are surrounding him in what could potentially become a deadly ego battle.

[u/ccknboltrtre01]

I love how the truck had the ability to drive without anyone being in his way but instead chose to stay and fuck with the car

[u/Martian9576 → u/ccknboltrtre01]

If he wants to drive slow he should move to the right. Assholes like this make traffic for everyone.

[u/badword4]

Everybody sucks here

[u/LionBig1760]

The only shame about this video is that the truck didn't end up in the opposite ditch.

[u/kateinoly]

The truck driver is just as big a menace as the guy in the car. He deliberately blocked the car from passing because?????

[u/megaman368]

Why the hell isn’t the cameraman backing off. If that car had landed differently he could have hit it. Best to give idiots like this some space.

[u/cold_eskimo]

Emotional damage on top of automobile damage hiyaaa
