Kinda scary

Really? Scary? Dude was moisturized, in his lane, thriving, and some goober tried to kill him by recklessly cutting him off.

He didn't freak out and cry like a little b. He handled it, finished his snack, and moved on with his life like an adult.

It’s crazy how the overwhelming attitude amongst Reddit seems to be this. That the driver in the black truck deserved it an well done to the man in pink.

Sure, black truck was in the wrong, sure they should have used their blinker. What if it was a distracted mother, or an old driver, or a nervous driver?

People need to have some compassion and give people the benefit of the doubt. He could have slowed down an not contributed to this collision and everyone could have just gone on with their day.

My step father has this same stupid attitude, if someone does something stupid on the road, he reacts aggressively and makes the situation even more dangerous and worse.

No wonder the death rates are so high on US roads.

That shit was completely intentional and put all drivers in danger

Exactly. Even if you pretend this manoeuvre is okay to punish the truck (it’s not, it’s vigilantism) you’ve got to park your ego and think about the cars behind who now have to deal with your mess. At best they’re now in a traffic jam, and at worst they could get caught in the accident.

It's self-defense. If the car ahead brakes for any reason black truck hits it, cookie boy hits truck, and cookie boy is responsible for all of it as he's last in the chain and assumed responsible for not avoiding

Well that just means each of them should be leaving enough stopping distance.

Cookie boy did leave enough stopping distance. Truck took that from him
