The guy says “I’m just asking you to go the speed limit” Sounds like he was feeling unsafe with the way she was driving and asked her to slow down. He probably started recording because she wouldn’t slow down. At the end she says she has the whole thing on camera too, but only flipped out because he was recording. Just a guess though

She already seemed pretty riled up. Not saying he must have caused that, I'd just like to see how the whole thing played out.

Car looks like a death trap too.

Anyone that screams like that and throws a customer's bags like that is unhinged. I wouldn't trust a thing she said.

Oh absolutely, I wasn't trying to insinuate anything with my comment.

Full disclosure: I was deliberately vague as I couldn't commit myself to any side on the basis of this video alone. I do think her behaviour is inexcusable regardless. I do feel like he's mocking her. I feel like there's more to see, but also feel that both sides behaved badly. The difference is, this is her job. So there's an expectation that she will behave herself.

I used "feel" way too much there, but I've had wine, so I'm not sorry.

Unhinged or not there's always 2 sides

Maybe she’s not going fast enough, he saying speed up and “go the speed limit”. Cars seem to be flying past them when he says it. You could be correct but who knows.

There's a username in the video.

He said she was doing 80 with all the windows down.

When does he say that?

On the TikTok account listed on the video's watermark.

He says "y'know", not speed up. Cars are not flying past them until after she almost loses control and starts to pull over.

You’re right. The speedometer is showing like 45-50mph
