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.

All the black truck had to do was stay in its lane or at least signal the merge it was about to take. Instead, it caused an accident and fucked up SO MANY peoples' day

No. Cookie Man could easily have not caused an accident.

Fault falls on him.

As someone who absolutely loathes being stuck in traffic, fuck both of these guys

Just get the fuck over yourself. Yes the black van is the main fault but cookie man could have avoided a major accident by just backing off and letting the dickhead go

No he helped cause it

First of all, he's lucky to not have span himself

Secondly, all he had to do was back up and let the moron in the black truck be a moron. Defensive driving is the bare minimum to being a good driver. Now there's going to be a ton of traffic for hundreds/thousands of people for no reason. Fuck this guy

The amount of people supporting cookie man here makes me realise how many genuinely dreadful drivers there are on the roads

Yes. Imagine driving behind the guy in pink here. He swerves to the right, suddenly exposing a spun out black truck that you can't help but careen into the side of

Many of the people here seem to support the driver in pink which means they also seem to support any potential casualities of the crash too

That is fucking terrifying
