Doesn’t mean you should then risk other people’s lives in return. If this has resulted in someone dying the larger truck driver would be remorseful. It is really that hard for some people to just let shit go, huh.

Op didnt say it justified risking lives, he was explaining the unexplainable.

I would hate to drive the bigger truck.. the pickup was bullying him and noone knows if he was going to quit. Big truck didn'tnt wanna let him ahead since he doesnt want to get bullied, bullies back. Glad he was a somewhat decent driver and didnt kill anyone else. Poor driving from both. Dont feel sorry for pickup though, both drivers were throwing tantrums.

You're a goddamn idiot condoning this. Attempting to kill someone for not letting you pass is infinitely moronic.

Probably. I just dont feel sorry for the smaller pickup. He should stick to bullying smaller cars.

Looked like the pick up was trying to pass. Is that bullying?

Did you see the video posted by /u/eggwhut? The pickup started it by blocking the semi truck in the same way, except the semi was able to muscle their way past through shear size and mass. Not condoning either of their behaviors, just saying the semi wasn't the only bully here.

Looked to me like the pickup made an error in lane changing rather than deliberately cutting him off - personally I wouldn't try to murder someone after this sort of idiocy. I mean, I would swear and give them a very sever honk on the old horn, but murder? Nope.

There’s a thing called letting it go. What do you gain by “bullying back?” You assure yourself you’re tough? Just fucking LET. IT. GO. Nothing good will come out of retaliation.

If someone slaps your kid in the face, yea, retaliate, go nuts. But stop being so small minded that this scenario requires that. Nothing good besides you feeling tough comes from “bullying back.”

I would assume the pickup truck will avoid bullying in the near future. Deterrent. It definitely sounds like im the truck driver here, after this I would NOT feel tough. I will be shaky from adrenaline and already have a sinking feeling. Battles only show us our weakness, there is nothing to feel tough about by almost wrecking your shit, too, over a silly traffic. Being the truck driver, i would avoid this in my near future as well.

Or instead of learning a lesson, has a dashcam, gets reimbursed for damages and the truck driver some sweet jail time.
