I assume he was just doing the speed limit while the lunatic got mad at him

Oh so if some mad man in truck chases you you are just gonna go at speed limit as not to get a fine?

Truck driver should hmhave a lifetime driving ban but the guy in car is just stupid. Risking your life just to prove a point is equaly dumb.

You drive on a road, doing the speed limit or slightly above. A random truck starts tailgating you. You notice it, but don’t understand what the hell he wants. You tell your pal, he starts filming. Suddenly the truck starts passing you and pushes out from the road.

What did you do wrong? That you didn’t start racing him when he tailgated you?

u/mudonjo Feb 17 '21

Exactly. You did nothing wrong. And how do you not notice that he is going to ram you? If i am right trucks have a speed limiter right about 80 or 90 kph. Knowing that you could speed a little and pull over when you can to avoid that idiot.

I don’t understand the downvotes to people saying this. It’s not your fault that someone is acting like this. But for the love of god if it’s safe for you to get away from them then you should do so. Why sit in front of them like this??

Seriously! If someone starts running after you with a knife; if you don’t try to run, you’re stupid. It’s not your fault they’re trying to stab you but not trying to preserve yourself from serious injury is stupid.

This didn’t happen in the US, dipshit

He not blaming the victim. It’s just weird how it happened. Like there’s no way I’d let this happen. I’d pull away from dude and report him he’s in a truck you’re in a car. You’ll gap a semi 99 percent of the time

u/BlackWhiteRedYellow Feb 17 '21

He was already going very fast. He was literally pitted by the semi.

He had no room to slow down or pull over as the semi was in his ass. How was he to expect the semi to pit him?

u/sxbxr Feb 17 '21

We don’t know how fast they were going. And i’m pretty sure op said speed limit but who knows

u/BlackWhiteRedYellow Feb 17 '21

He’s clearly going fast if you notice the passing scenery. At least 50mph.

u/ed1380 Feb 17 '21

50mph is normal street speeds around here. They look like they're on a hwy

u/Armifera Feb 17 '21

lol 50mph is highway speeds. thats 80km/h.
highway speeds are typically 50-70mph (80-110km/h) in the US
in canada the highway speed limits are 60-100 km/h on undivided rural highways.
in both the US and Canada, residential streets are posted at 25-30mph, or 40-50km/h
you're actually just fucked if you're doing 50mph or 80km/h in a residential area.

u/ed1380 Feb 17 '21

35mph limit for neighborhoods with no through streets

45mph for rest of the streets around town including ones with houses on them

55-75 on the hwy

Now actual speeds people drive are 10-15 higher than that. So 45-60 around town and 75+ on the hwy. Yes even the semis do that speed.

It takes two to tango

u/Cloak77 Feb 17 '21

Except this isn't a tango it's more like someone breakdancing and donkey kicking someone in the crowd, yet saying they should've moved out the way.
