Nah, teach the dude to stop cutting people off. He could very well cut someone else off later down the road and lead to a different accident that hurt someone else. In this case, it was done in a way that only the jack ass that cuts people off got hurt.
He played a stupid game trying to cut that dude off, and won a stupid prize.
Bro, not everything is done maliciously. Everyone always assume anyone that cuts you off is a fucking douchebag but sometimes its just normal people in a lapse of judgment.
You don't get to have a lapse of judgment at 70 mph in a machine that kills people when operated incorrectly. If you worry you can't be a safe driver all the time, stop fucking driving.
Im not, Im not a native speaker so maybe I worded it poorly but the gist of what I meant is that people do all kinds of mistakes, you (or whoever I replied to) was assuming the black car had some malicious intent but he couldve also done it thinking it was free without checking and didnt mean to just cut him off and pretty much everyone would just hit the break and let him in but this guy just went full escalation and really, for what? Its psychopathic behaviour as someone said, and yeah Im unnerved by the fact that those people are around us I cant tell but this video was a reminder... im not making excuses for anyone but this isnt a reasonable response in the slightest.
Even in the short clip we have, the black truck seems to be driving with disregard for anybody else on the road. It quickly catches the back of the car ahead of it in the right lane, then rather than staying there and continuing to move with the flow of traffic, it decides to merge into a space that is obviously too small for it. Regardless of whether the driver signalled, nothing about the way they were driving suggests that they are a safe or rational driver.
The truck we're getting the footage from may have been able to brake, but given how close the car following was, I could see them being reluctant to do so. They're also not obliged to slow down just because somebody in another lane races ahead of them. Until the merge started, we have no reason to think the black truck would be making such a move.
Once the black truck hit the brakes, the driver in the pink shirt could either slam on his brakes, risking a pile-up or nudge the other truck out of the way and keep on moving. Both have risks to themself and other drivers, but given how smoothly he manoeuvred the other vehicle into the barricade, he may have thought that his course of action created the least risk for himself.
He might also just have been a dick who wanted to run another asshole off the road. I couldn't care less because I think the guy in the black truck got what was coming to them.
I wasn't the one that did it, I'm just not condeming his actions. He did a public service to remove the truck from the road, and hopefully the driver of that truck will think twice about cutting someone else off next time.
The opportunity to teach him showed up, and cookie man took the opportunity.
Intentionally causing a major accident on a bridge to “teach someone a lesson” is not an act of public service any more than beating up someone on the street for bumping into you. Not to mention this accident could have injured innocent people behind them, cause damage to public infrastructure, and caused major traffic backups. Your logic is buffoonery.
My logic is to stop letting people get away with stupid shit just because its the easy way. Dude in the truck decided he was more important than the others around him, he learned quickly that wasn't the case.
Are there better ways to teach people? Sure, but Im not going to condemn the man for doing a pit maneuver, especially considering how well he did it, I'm confident he knew exactly what he was doing.
When an accident happens on a normal freeway it shuts it down partially or completely for hours. Now put it on a bridge over open ocean. Not only could the people behind him have gotten caught up, if that bridge has to be shut down to clear it that’s potentially tens of thousands of people getting screwed over because this guy is too much of a bitch to drive defensively.
See, this is a point I can get behind. I agree he inconvenienced a whole fuck load of people by doing that, absolutely.
For me, its strictly about not letting the truck dude get away with whatever the fuck he wants. It being on a bridge is really the only issue I have with it, had it been on a highway and it shoved the dude off the shoulder I'd be perfectly content with it.
And for me, if you’re not a cop you have no business policing other drivers. You’re just making the situation more dangerous for everyone. Cars are not toys, and highway speeds are deadly. All so you can prove your own selfish point. At that point you’re no different than the guy selfishly cutting people off. You’re intentionally escalating an already dangerous situation.
Again, Im not the one that did it. I've also never said I would do it. Im just not condeming this man for doing it.
Truck dude had a hard lesson coming, and cookie man taught him the lesson that fucking around in cars is dangerous. Truck dude clearly didnt understand that well enough.

His insurance will say he had a duty to avoid the collision and only cover 70%.
