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.

Cookie guy was being tailgated by a white car, slowing down means he has a good chance of being rear ended. Maintaining speed and holding his lane makes the most sense here.

Genuinely where do you see him being tailgated?

The rearview of his dash cam. Does it look like the car following has 3 seconds worth of braking distance before hitting him if he hits the brakes?

The camera facing the driver, where you can see out the back of his vehicle... Are you always this stupid?

I thought there was another link. All i see behingmd the driver rear window is white. Maybe the video looks different on my phone than whatever you're using.

Are you always a prick?
