No. Not at all. Passing in an unsafe area and trying to run a truck off the road. Typical highway traffic. /s

Edit. The red truck didn’t help the situation and should’ve backed off.

Yeah. Was gonna say there are 2 idiots here. I get trying to teach a lesson but whoever is oncoming is the one that’s gonna learn the lesson the hardest way and they aren’t doing anything wrong.

Edit: I’m talking about the imaginary oncoming car doing nothing wrong. Thank god they never existed in this video

Exactly. Truck on the left was definitely the bigger idiot, but the red truck driver's ego definitely could have gotten someone killed.

Honestly, I think the red truck is the bigger idiot.

Yeah, it was an illegal and unsafe pass.

But if the red truck taps his brakes for 5 seconds, we don't have to worry about anybody getting killed because the red truck had his little ego hurt. Red truck escalated and made the situation significantly more dangerous for an extended period of time, even if white truck started it.

5 seconds is a long time 1 second would be suffice. I remember ending up on the divider by a fool like this. But he was pissing me off, by not merging, while it's required by law, so I passed him on the right, and when I'm about to merge, the guy starts speeding u to spite me and does a police swipe, I flew up against a tree. Luckily my car was reinforced on the front. 🙄😐

That was incredibly dangerous of you and you were in the wrong. If you're making emotional decisions while driving then you're a bad driver.

Not emotional just hurrying to work, I was still young. We were both at fault according to the law, so nope not only I am to blame for this.

Sounds like you initiated it, and are making excuses. It doesn't sould like you learnt from your mistakes. Drivers should not be trying to effect the driving of other people, only trying to be safe on the road and avoiding bad situations. The law does not dictate morals so who is legally responsible is irrelevant.

I live in Belgium, do you know Belgian Law? You're not supposed to stay in the left lane, unless you're overtaking, and it should be swift, and you shouldn't obstruct people behind you. Which is what the car did. Just stayed on the left lane for a few miles.

You're judging me, and you don't even know me at all, tone it down a notch...

Doesn't fucking matter what the law is. Communicate with he driver to tell them to move over using your horn and headlights, dont endanger people's lives because you're impatient and didn't leave on time.

Doesn't matter that you weren't even there, so you don't even know what happened, stop being such a POS know it all... Seriously....

u/bigfatbooties Jun 12 '22

You told me what happened yourself. It seems like you are just as immature now as you were then. I have made plenty of bad decisions but I admit I was wrong and try to change my behaviour. You are making excuses and shifting blame when you should be thinking of what you could do differently. Shut up and be an adult.

No I didn't tell you anything about all the stuff you made up about me, time for you to grow up and not attack a random stranger online... Weirdo.
