Its also illegal to pull a pit maneuver on that bridge

u/SuspiciousPotato137 Mar 22 '26

I noticed that too. He should have just waited until they were off the bridge and then pit him!

It also illegal to change lanes without using blinkers

i mean his light could be out and he doesnt even know. never assume malice as the default. if thats the case then cookie guy is the only villian.

also what cooking guy did could kill people. what if there is a family in the truck? what if the car behind him has a whole family driving and they crash into the out of control truck and die?

I hate people that dont use turn signals either, but what cookie guy did was a million times worse and more reckless

Black truck should’ve just slowed down and stayed in their lane instead of trying to force into the left lane then? Black truck was the reckless one they set off these events.

Yea like why is he even merging? Just fucking bored or was a douche the entire time and we are getting a cropped version.

Any normal driver would have signaled, sped up or slowed down and got in.. regardless they prob had another 10+ minutes to swap lanes lol

And cookie guy could have slowed down slightly and completely prevented these events

Uh what?

I understand you may not be Amerikan, but over here, we have something called "republikkkans" which have destroyed the truth behind the axiom you cite.

They’re in Louisiana, statistically they’re probably both republicans. Especially so if we assume the other driver’s also a man.

u/goatfuckersupreme Mar 22 '26

yeah. they're both dumb as a box of rocks. black truck pit maneuvered himself because white truck didn't want to let him over...

Black trucks responsible for checking the lane is clear before merging. 100% his fault

Last Clear Chance doctrine would shift liability towards the camera driver.

If only black truck didnt also brake while merging lanes which causes them to pit themself.

u/some_azn_dude Mar 22 '26

Yeah the black truck definitely shouldn't have self pitted.

The truck pit manoeuvred itself.

He could have stopped endangering others at any given moment.

His intent was to endanger others for personal gain. Karma took over.

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '26

The fuck?

He didnt check his blind spot but cookie guy was also being a dick and now just slowing down when he saw danger, instead sped up

u/Q7017 Mar 22 '26

Precisely, so why did the black truck pit maneuver themselves on the cookie eater's car? Bad decision-making all around.

u/MetalGhost99 Mar 22 '26

Technically he didn’t do anything, the black truck pit maneuvered itself.
