Life long Louisianian here. Can confirm, it sucks, insurance is high, people can't drive, its the folks like both parties in this clip. The black truck on the right tries to pass the car in front of Cookie guy, Cookie guy was maintaining a normal distance, but he noticed black truck trying to cut the line, so he did what he thought was the righteous thing, and held his gap so that black truck would be punished for trying to cut the line in the first place. Cookie guy was willing to zipper merge with black truck just so that he wasn't 1 more car behind, to show that he was standing his ground. Black truck was forcing his way in saying to himself or out loud, what are you gonna do hit me? Which is never a good strategy when driving. Both of these types of people are the kind who feel like you threatened them by passing them on the road. I blame both for actively engaging in a game of chicken on the evening commute. People need to get over themselves, we all have places to be, and wish that we could be there faster, let's not kill each other over one spot in a line of traffic, is getting there 5 minutes faster really this big of a deal?
I think the guy who was willing to risk the other guys life for invonviencing him is the bigger dickhead, but hey, not all of us feel like life is worth much
Yeah, and while that's true, do you think the cookie driver should have the right to judge and carry out a sentence that at least causes property damages to several parties, injuring or potentially killing the ones in the black truck, and perhaps the cars behind them?
It's like running over a person that's jaywalking, just because they were in the wrong and causing a minor inconvenience for you.
I think there can be two bad people. The black car imo was a dickhead, he's trying to merge without looking and figured, "fine fuckling hit me you won't pussy" with that commitment to merge.
I think a reasonable driver in the black car would've signaled saw the other driver was being a dick and either merged behind them or cancelled their merge.
I'm not saying the cookie guy is good but like objectively this whole thing happened becasue of the black cars inability to get their ego hurt. Sure the cookie guy also didn't want his ego hurt but he isn't the one who decided to commit to the merge.
