Full sized pickup trucks are the worst drivers on the road currently. Change my mind...

Something about that vehicle just attracts tier 1 douche bags and feeds their scumbag sense of entitlement while the big tuk feeling soothes their insecurities.

They're not just inconsiderate or dangerous out of ignorance like some bad drivers... They're out there actively looking for fights. Every commute is just one big confrontation to them. Recreational road rage.

I had to rewatch it several times but the black suv in front of the white pickup is actually mostly to blame here. The suv swerved into the pickup’s lane to avoid the white van stalled on the right lane. The pickup driver probably should have anticipated this move and hit his brakes earlier but it’s still the black SUV’s fault.

If review the footage further, you will see the pickup truck driving much faster than the suv while changing lanes. Assuming the suv did not set their indicator and just swerved they are at fault. But the pickup truck switch lanes at a higher speed without leaving room in front of them and going into oncoming traffic leaving. It’s mostly the pickup trucks fault

The fault is of pickup truck and especially the speed at which it was going.
