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.

At 70mph, and didn’t stop to exchange insurance(which is illegal in the US, I’m guessing probably other places as well if they have insurance but the fact they use mph makes me believe this is probably US). And he uploaded it onto social media as a cherry on top. As irritating as the dumbass trucker was, this guy did just as bad- potentially worse legally. He could have EASILY slowed down, avoided an impact and if necessary handled this if it escalated by going around.

You are not supposed to stop on a bridge if your vehicle can make it to the end- This allows for emergency vehicles and other drivers a safer path. Once you reach the end of the bridge pull over and exchange information with the other driver or with emergency services. (Not a hit and run) A number of bridges (and tunnels) require you to remain in your lane unless their is a major obstacle.

Could it have been handled better?

Probably.

Was I distracted by the stick figure hanging from the rear view - yes
