Ever occur to you the F150 driver was trying to get clear zone in order to safely merge into the right lane.

You’re either blind, stupid or being obtuse.

The truck clearly and obviously floored it when he saw the idiot Honda driver passing on the shoulder in order to cut him off instead of just letting him go. Two idiots in that situation.

You're the type of shitbag that stays in the left lane going 66 passing the right lane going 65 for miles, while car after car piles up behind you.

Nah, but if it makes you feel better go right ahead and believe that. Just like if it makes you feel better knighting for the dumbshit in the Accord, go right ahead. I don't particularly give a shite anymore.

That truck should definitely be charged with reckless endangerment or something.

He should be given a parade. Other driver should lose his license as he isn't responsible enough to have one.

learn that driving aggressively is stupid and pointlessly dangerous. This one did.

If I said the truck should have simply called the police on the Accord due to the Accord's antics, how exactly is that "discounting" the aggressive driving of the Accord?


Because that's immediately what anyone would do is try to make a phone call in a situation where there is an aggressive driver involved? No, don't think so.

How does the duration of the Accord's antics affect whether or not the truck is justified in its actions? It doesn't.


The fact that it was stated in the article that the Accord driver was aggressive before the events on the video, almost hitting other drivers before running up to tailgate the truck. You have no idea, zero idea, of what the driver of the truck was thinking when confronted with someone who was obviously a threat.

For camping in the left lane when he could get over, then speeding up keeping the Honda from passing him?

Do you also sit in the left lane so you don't have to worry about people merging in to the right lane?

<-- spent four years in Germany where if the Polizei caught these fricknuts driving like they're defending the truck of doing, they'd be pulled over in a heartbeat.

You pass the car, then you immediately get over if someone is behind you, even if you can pass the next car. You let the faster car behind you pass, then you get back over and pass.

Slower traffic keep right. It's a simple concept, that your average American is too fricking stupid to comprehend or follow. This thread is full of them.

Even if this isn't what you would do, that doesn't mean I was discounting the Accord driver. Try actually responding the points I've made.

I already acknowledged the Accord driver's antics before you even replied to me. I haven't made a single statement even implying that the Accord wasn't doing this before the video started, and in fact it's why I suggested the truck pull over and call the police instead of inject himself into the situation. Your replies are completely irrelevant.

But it's not he F150's place to purposely impede traffic based on his perception that the Honda driver is going too fast or being reckless. Get over, call 911, and tell the police there's a reckless driver in a Honda at whatever mile marker. Taking the law into your own hands (with the result being a car wreck that easily could have been worse for the truck driver) is not the way to go. That's a "grow up" moment too. Are we actually trying to promote safety or are we just being spiteful?


Agreed, but the driver if the truck has zero fault in what happened to the driver of the car, frick that guy. Two wreckless drivers can be charged accordingly, neither of which is responsible for the other driver's actions that resulted in this, only for their own that could have potentially harmed others. The driver of the car had 100% ability and responsibility to prevent what happened to them. The truck driver put others at risk, but is not the cause of the wreck.

Of course not. I drive responsibly. I do enjoy seeing people like you lose their mind about it though.

I agree with this. The Accord is 100% legally at fault for the wreck he's caused. I just don't see why anyone would cheer on the truck as if the truck driver was doing something to promote safety. He wasn't.

F150 was at least passing vehicles while in the left lane, albeit, not as fast as the Corolla wanted to go.

That was an incredibly dumb move.


The F150 VISIBLY sped up when he saw that other car going around the outside. And he was not passing in the "passing lane." Put your foot in it and GTFO of the way.

They're both assholes. It was only 1/2 justice. Would have been better if both had been taken out.

For what? Blocking traffic in the left lane?

Certainly smarter than trying to race and cut off the aggressive driver, thus becoming a party to the incident.

Oh please. He was thinking he wasn’t going to let that a-hole destroy his ego by passing him and visibly sped up to keep that from happening.

I’ve done it, most have. I had a wake up call heading eastbound on I-12 to vacation in FL. Was like “why the frick am I doing this anyway?”

I still drive fast and kinda aggressive but will not speed up to keep some idiot from passing me.
Nope, go right ahead.

This. Idiots who try to police the roads are just as bad as the tailgaiting shoulder-passers. Get the hell out of peoples way when you can and worry about yourself instead of escalating situations by trying to "punish" people who don't drive the way you like.

Truck guy was passing traffic at a good clip.

Why are you so mad?

No, he wasn't. And after he passed the first dark SUV, he failed to move over. So he ignored the "slower traffic keep right" law.

Like I said earlier, shitbags like you are why we have mile long trains of cars in the left lane....because you won't get over.

Yeah, once the Accord decided to go around he was. Before that, he was blocking the lane.
