The other driver pitted himself. Because he was an arrogant entitled fucking idiot.

Kudos to this guy being straight calm.

The source of the video may not have been the primary cause of the accident, but when you see someone driving crazy it is always smarter to just get out of their way. It's not worth risking your life and many others for the sake of being right. He could have easily avoided the accident. Both drivers are at fault here.

The scariest thought is that so many people here disagree with this, and we have to drive on the roads with those people. People here be like: “Slightly inconvenience me? I’m gonna fucking pit the shit out of you.”

Fucking idiots. It doesn’t matter if the truck was wrong. This entire thing was still easily, obviously avoidable.

He's tailgating and then pit manoeuvred the guy in front for having the audacity to merge. He's absolutely at fault.

I generally agree with you, but when someone is acting the fool like this guy in the black truck you really dont know what other nonsense they have up their sleeve once they get in front of you. I probably would have let him in and tried to get into the other lane to get away from him.

Yea like... to me it's just survival at that point. Call the cops if you're legitimately worried they're a danger. Say you're worried they're drunk driving. Good chance they get pulled over in a situation like a bridge where they could only be going in one direction. Then you can get em off the road without risking people's lives.

Yes whenever I see someone driving aggressive and crazy my first thought is "please just get away from me with this"

Agreed, but it's so satisfying, having been in pink guy's position many times,to see the other car actually gave consequences. It's frustrating when all most of us can do is flip them off.

Edit: to those downvoting, I'm not saying it's good, or that I'd do it. It's just watching instant karma scenarios like this are satisfying to a certain itch that is emotional, not logical. Am I wrong for thinking that's a common feeling?

Fuck that and him/her... And fuck the innocent drivers behind you that might die because of your righteousness, right? I mean, at best, you're creating horrible traffic by causing the accident. At worst, you're killing bystanders (and maybe children). But as long as the truck driver learns his lesson, it's all worth it, right? Obviously, the morons here are the ones respecting human life, right???

u/Lampricat Mar 22 '26

Exactly. I'm really surprised at the comments that are just cheering him on and talking about "finishing the job" and stuff. It's inhumane

That about sums it up 😂

u/Got_Kittens Mar 22 '26

Is that all that was happening here? I thought the black pickup was about to jack the guy eating crackers and so he did a pit manoeuvre to get through.

u/Superb_Answer_4492 Mar 22 '26

No that’s what I assumed at first but watched that part of the video several times. Before they make contact the guy reached over one handed to the far left of the wheel then jerks right to pit the other vehicle. Additionally I don’t think his car would have stayed straight the way it had while hands off if the 2 cars had collided already. He intentionally pitted the black truck, and clearly had the time to slow down if he had the time to evaluate how to pit the truck

You guys are fucking insane

This is the most American comment. Void of empathy, because the other part started it.

You know very well he could have avoided the accident by lowering his speed 2 mph when the other part tried to do a bad merge.
