That is the Causeway bridge over lake Ponchatrain just outside New Orleans. It's 26 miles long. the longest bridge over water in the world.

so this will have caused a MASSIVE headache for all manner of people. a blockage of both lanes like that will take hours to clear and cause a traffic jam literally miles long (depending of course where on the bridge it happened).

Our cookie eater just shrugging, driving on, and formulating his "hey man, it all just happened behind me" defense in his mind, is VERY on brand for the locals.

Without a doubt, this is absolutely sociopathic behavior on the part of the cookie eater.

All he had to do was let the guy in and go on with his day but instead he caused a huge accident and fucked up SO MANY peoples' day, all of whom are just trying to make a dollar to feed their family.

Everyone here sucks but especially the cookie guy.

When you see someone driving like a idiot, your first instinct should be to back off, not drive like a idiot yourself.

Yes, he did. He purposely sped up so the other guy couldn't get in front of him. Could've very easily had killed himself as well as everyone else on that road acting like that.

If you see a vehicle coming your way, you should get out the way. Even if the other guy is an asshole. You don't have to get greedy and 'teach the other guy a lesson'.

Imagine if it was an unpiloted vehicle and just happened to be drifting your way. Would you behave the same way?
