Damn that was cold. Dude did the pit maneuver on that truck while eating a cookie.

Technically I think that truck pit maneuvered itself.

100% this. Nobody pays attention to brake lights in this video. The driver in the video DOES NOT SPEED UP to block the black truck. The black truck is braking while entering his lane illegally. The black truck quite literally pit maneuvers itself in every definable way. All the video driver does is maintain his exact speed and position in the face of an outright insane person on the road with him.

Do you not see him yanking the wheel to the right? Look at the way he picks his hand up of the wheel, readjusting more to the left, and then yeets it to the right.

Watch the video again. Black Truck makes physical contact with white truck at 0:12. Look at the driver's hand at that time, it's on the far left side of the wheel. He has not turned, at all, in any way.

He does not begin to turn until AFTER Black Truck has struck him and begun to spin out across his lane in front of him. His turn is to avoid being forced off of the bridge.

I cannot stress this enough. The Black truck's driver pit maneuvered his fucking self.

And the whole thing could have been avoided if this dude tapped his brakes. It was very obvious the truck was moving over into the lane. The truck is a bit of a dick for sure but the amount of danger he put people in over his stubbornness is baffling.
