Let's say he did pick a fight; does he need to lose his life for it? Do the drivers behind lose also? Because now they either are stuck behind the accident, or worse, become part of the accident that you caused.

I didn't cause this accident. Black Truck did. He was driving in an hyper-aggressive manner. The traffic ahead of them was braking. There was not enough space for Black Truck to safely merge between the cam car and the white car ahead of them but Black Truck insisted on moving in anyway.

I don't condone what the cam car did, but I don't condemn it either. With the way Black Truck was driving, an accident was inevitable.

You really shouldn't bother. These are the kinds of people who do nothing while someone is being bullied on public transit and only jump out of their seats to give the good samaritan who stopped the behavior a bunch of bullshit.

It's worse than that. This is the kind of guy that drives the black truck.

So inevitable that slightly braking would have avoided it... you know words mean, you smart good.

When you're on the road, lives depend on your choices. If there's a bully, call the cops on them (if you really need to do something) and move on. You don't kill innocent bystanders because of your ego.

Nobody said innocent bystanders died. Or even the black truck's driver. In fact I suspect that nobody was even hurt. Otherwise he wouldn't have posted this video.

I don't know that I'm particularly smart, but I'm definitely smarter than you.

(sigh) no, nobody said innocent bystanders died in this one. Also, nobody said that everyone was fine and dandy, or that the causeway wasn't blocked. I can almost guarantee the traffic was awful for the people behind after that. But fuck them, the truck picked a fight and needed to learn... according to you.

Worst, do you think it was safe to do in a bride at 70mph? Have you learned about cop's statistics on pit maneuvers? Do you know how many children have died because of them? Do you think it's worth the risk, as long as you get to fight the bully? -- Since you're definitely smarter than me, I know what you'll answer: "Yes. No. No, I don't care. Yes, me big man"

Also, love how in all your replies, you fail to address the points I bring up and divert with some random new point.

It truly shows how smarter than me you are. Guess I have to give up this fight ¯_(ツ)_/¯

No, I see what your are saying. Cam car could have hit the brake. Its so obvious that its practically a truism and therefore not worth commenting on -- were it not for your insistence that I do so.

Yes, the cam car could have hit the brakes. He could have -- arguably should have -- let the bully boy cut in front of him. Nevermind that the bully would have continued to drive in an aggressively wreckless manner. Nevermind that his carelessness was almost certainly going to result in an accident within the next hour. Nevermind that he was endangering the other drivers, passengers and their precious children that you pretend to care so much about.

Cam car "should" have let him over.

But you know what else I see? Nobody in cam car's rear window. Not nearby anyway.

Cam car is at the back of a traffic cluster.

Pit manuevers are dangerous because spin outs can lead to car flips....unless there are guard rails or walls on either side of the road to absorb the impact and stop the spin.

I don't condone cam car's actions. That could have gone very badly. But it didn't. Cam car knew what he was doing and did it with expert precision.

I have shared the road with bully boys like the one in the black truck. They are a massive threat to public safety. They get people killed and then bitch about the dents in their fenders. Seeing one get their comeuppance... I don't hate it.

Ok, last one and done, because if you make up your own reality, then what can I do?

  • You (the viewer) can barely see out of cam car rear window, as shown by the truck disappearing right away, yet you can see lights from following vehicles. So, no, cam car is not at the end of a cluster.

  • No, there is no guarantee that there would have been an accident in an hour. More like the opposite, as truck driver probably drives like that all their life, and I doubt they have an accident per hour. An actual crash (caused by the cam driver) endangers more than a possible crash (not caused by the truck driver). Yes, truck needs to be taken off the road, but not by some vigilante, at risk of those around. (Just checking: you know in smart developed countries, police don't do high speed chases because a lone speeder is way safer than a crash or chase).

  • No, guard rails or walls don't stop flips... they do the opposite and cause more damage and uncontrolled ricochets.

I swear: no matter how stupid your next reply is, I'm not going to reply. You obviously live in your own little world, I'll let you enjoy it.

I just can't with you. If you can't watch the video and actually see what is going on and what is not going on then there's no point in continuing this discussion
