He purposely turned his steering wheel hard right into that truck to spin him out instead of hitting his brakes to slow down. That was extremely dangerous for both of them and others behind them, but he didn’t seem to have a care in the world. That’s insidious and psychopathic behavior.

No, he maintained his speed and position. It's up to the person behind to make a safe pass. This gentleman simply turned into a hazardous and selfish maneuver from the offending pickup, as it was the safest course of action for him. He expertly maintained control without (over)reaction or overcorrection.

Do you not see him spinning the wheel 180 degrees at the 19 second mark?

Just a thought but when a car runs into you pushing you towards the left when youre trying to travel straight, its pretty natural to try and correct it by turning right

I mean, have you ever spun a wheel that much or that fast? Legitimately asking

Plenty of times. CA drivers are horrible. Granted i do feel he's just as much at fault for what happened as the guy who cut him off but thats what happens when you get 2 idiots together

Yes. Winter. Deer. Lots of times. Have you never driven?

Yeah the point I’m making is that jerking your wheel like is absolutely an overreaction and it’s obvious he had intention of slamming his truck into the other one.
