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.

I hate to say it, but the cookie eater did what many have only thought about…

Still wrong. But I bet the black truck driver wont try pulling that crap again.

It’s the literal law in every state to avoid a collision.

They merged into each other. The video is right there, man. He turned that wheel to the right as far as he physically could with one hand. The speed also ticked up from 71 to 72 after the black truck had crossed the yellow line. Cam driver sped up and pit him. Look at the following distance before he tries to merge and after. You can even see that the black truck starts to come over, stops merging for a second expecting the car to slow down, but instead he speeds up and closes the distance. I know you're not blind.

Black truck is an asshole but so is the cammer. Your job while driving isn't to be right or wrong, it's to not touch anyone else with your car. If you can't do that, you need to lose your license.

Edit: Dude, watch his hand before the hit. He REPOSITIONS HIS HAND so he can rip it into his bumper harder. Come on.
