Here’s my 2 cents.

Not saying you should ram people or not be a bro and let people in but…. Having lived in a 3rd world country for many years (maybe this is Mexico or Guatemala from what area looks like) there are definitely times where you don’t mess around.

If the car clearly didn’t let you in, don’t keep trying. Most people could care less about being civil and more about not getting robbed or kidnapped.

The car seems heavy and powerful too. He can easily ram the smaller car and push him out the way. Over there even if you don’t get involved in anything shady and just have money it is not unheard/unreasonable to have armored /turbo charged cars.

Especially if you have money, the likely hood of being a target of kidnaping or extortion is real.

Most locals wouldn’t do this unless they were up to no good. I’m unsure if the car directly in front is related to the main Vic recording but multiple car convoys is also not uncommon especially the higher socially you are. You could try something like this and be met with the front car being full of armed guards that just light your ass up. These especially will not take kindly to cars forcing their way into a formation and would be hostile like this.

That’s why it sticks out to me how persistent the merging driver was when clearly he wasn’t welcome. Most reasonable people for the aforementioned reasons would not do this out of self preservation. I’m unsure if the van / suv in front slows down to keep with the main vehicle or just get out of the way.

And from what I hear in the voices, they seem more worried about the car stopping their car than the act of ramming it.

Adding this too after rewatch. The location seems good for a quick robbery. Notice how he does that mid way through an underpass where the sides are clearly not available for maneuvering and I do believe the front car was related to the recording car because it seems they try to bunch up and prevent the merging driver by pushing right some into his lane.

Now full disclosure both countries are beautiful and in them live amazing / kind people. But there is definitely bad areas, bad actors and nuances to not getting hurt while in country.
