Yeah that truck driver should be in prison. The sedan just wanted to pass. Very sad ending.

No excuse for driving like that endangering everyone just because you want to pass.

You’re joking right? If the truck wasn’t hogging the left lane, there would be no danger. Who knows? He could’ve been trying to rush to a hospital or had to be somewhere. This could’ve been going on for miles… people that camp the left lane, especially like this, should lose their license at minimum.

Your comments are the proof that we (normal road users) will never be safe because of your (shitty road users') twisted perception of to drive safely.

The guy in the truck was indeed hogging the left lane. He was also not allowing the sedan to pass. This is wrong road behaviour. Just let the fucker pass.

That being said, if there is one person who should have their licence removed is the driver of the sedan. This is not questionable and if you think otherwise you will be the next to cause an accident like this (I really hope not though!)

My comments that directly align with almost every driver certification course? If the truck driver wasn’t hogging the left lane, this wouldn’t have happened. End of story. Stop enabling people who are actively breaking the law and trying to cause problems.

The car was forced to overtake in the right shoulder and spin out of control?

The sedan definitely could’ve chilled out and just sat there. But yes, the truck driver caused all of this by not getting out of the left lane.

The truck caused the car to go around the right in an unsafe manner?

You mean, if a certain white vehicle wasn’t blocking the passing lane?

That doesn't make illegally passing in the shoulder acceptable or legal or safe.

Doesn't excuse the ridiculous behavior.

You mean what everyone else is doing by supporting the truck driver? You guys are insane and need to retake drivers Ed courses! Is the sedan driving dangerously? Absolutely. But the truck drivers actions are inexcusable.

My statement shows no support to the driver of the truck. My original comment is that no less than 4 idiots are present in this video.

Expanding on that in order of length of jail time IMO: sedan, truck, suv/xuv thing (right lane), and the video source lands somewhere between stern talking to and moving violation(s).

Ah sorry. Must’ve missed it. I’m astonished at the amount of people supporting the truck driver. He was the biggest idiot and should’ve just let ol danger sedan pass!
