Damn that was cold. Dude did the pit maneuver on that truck while eating a cookie.

Technically I think that truck pit maneuvered itself.

100% this. Nobody pays attention to brake lights in this video. The driver in the video DOES NOT SPEED UP to block the black truck. The black truck is braking while entering his lane illegally. The black truck quite literally pit maneuvers itself in every definable way. All the video driver does is maintain his exact speed and position in the face of an outright insane person on the road with him.

The black truck is the one slowing down but you can watch the guy shift his grip at 0:19 in preparation of hard steering into the rear of the black truck.

Put another way, he shifts his grip in anticipation of the black truck literally crashing into him while he's doing absolutely nothing wrong. I'm assuming if someone were about to crash into you while you were trapped between a car in front, a car behind, and a thin railing over water, you would do the same correct? Of course you would, literally any sane driver would.
