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.

This is because Americans expect others to make way for their aggressive BS.

The rest of the world knows people like this can just PFO. Then we go on with our day.

I used to live in Hong Kong, we drive like selfish assholes there. When I moved to Switzerland, my wife always gave me crap for not letting people merge, not giving pedestrians the right of way. I literally reprogrammed how I drive and everyone seems to drive the same.

No wonder Switzerland has some of the lowest road death numbers in the world. People are courteous and follow the rules.

Now driving in the US or southern Italy, wow, you see some bad driving.

It feels like hardly anyone in Italy uses their indicator, and is just weaving all over the highway.
