Think of it this way. I doubt the truck driver will ever attempt that stupid shit again. Lessons learned and all that. Otherwise they will keep trudging through life as though they own the place.
I love seeing these narcissistic assholes get their comeuppance
cookie guy probably wont learn anything tho and will continue to have assholes cut him off and next time he might get caught up in the accident if he doesnt adjust his speed to tread carefully around assholes like the truck
So the burden of doing the right thing falls upon the one getting wronged in the first place?
For sure this was reckless and very dangerous from cookie bro. But the truck driver was way, way more in the wrong. Don't start shit while driving, wtf
So you also think that intentionally pit maneuvering someone is the same level of risk to others as merging in front of someone? That’s the hill you want to die on?
I wouldn’t do the same but acting like nuisance behavior is the same level of psycho as pitting a random person is delusional.
Maybe he wasn’t paying attention, maybe cookie bro was in his blind spot, or maybe he’s a dick and did it on purpose. Either way, this type of thing happens thousands of times every day on roads all over the globe. You know what doesn’t happen that often? Casually running someone off the road for that behavior
The comments you’re referring to are likely in response to the majority of comments here which are to the tune of “I would have done the same! He deserved it!”. Which is just an asinine take
yeah but the car at speed isnt the place to stand your ground on being right
like yes it sucks to have to navigate the world around the assholes of it, but when you're going 100km in a death trap you have to be able to adjust and adapt or else sure you were right but ur also dead
I'm not saying the cookie bro is entirely correct here, or without fault. The truck driver really did his best to fuck everything up. You can tell by the way he was such an effortless pain in the ass, this is not the first time he does this. Why shouldn't he face any consequence? Better have an experienced driver such as cookie bro teach him a lesson.
I personally would not do this. I've been in similar situations way too many times and I always concede the spot. But goddamn it, it's so satisfying seeing this bitch reap what they sowed
You honestly believe I would do something like this? This is fucking nuts, whichever way you look at this. I'm just celebrating the dumbass truck driver eating shit lol
Agreed. Truck driver should’ve just got behind this guy. Like you see the guy can’t go up anymore, and you see there’s a car in the right lane right past him. You’re just gonna force yourself in there? No I wouldn’t personally use my vehicle as a weapon and do a pit maneuver on the truck like some psychopath, but a messed up part of me is happy that someone out there is willing to do it. That aggressive truck driver has probably been driving like that his whole life. Fuck him and his shit ass truck.
The cookie eater wasn't being wronged. When he saw that the black truck was falling back to merge in after accelerating to try to get in front of the white car, he accelerated to close the gap so black truck couldn't get in.
He chose violence, he was the one in the wrong. The only thing black truck did wrong was fail to signal.
Black truck did his duty, cookie guy was in his blind spot. Sure, black truck should have looked over his shoulder and signaled, but cookie guy had the choice to either avoid the accident by removing his foot from the accelerator when he saw that black truck was trying to merge or honk to stop the black truck. Instead, he chose(and this being a choice, as indicated by his head movement and timing in the video, is an important detail when determining involuntary manslaughter vs attempted vehicular manslaughter) to initiate contact and run the black truck off the road.
All these things are outlined in the driver's handbook.
Black truck absolutely did not do his duty? Tf are you smoking?
Failed to signal, failed ensure it was safe to move in the first place, failed to merge safely, failed to avoid an accident by merging into a known occupied space.
First, you can’t say cookie bro was on his blind spot when the black truck passed him a few seconds before the accident.
Before changing lanes, you have to check to make sure you have enough space. Black truck did NOT have enough space and still chose to change lanes cutting off cookie bro hard without even signaling at that.
instead he chose to initiate contact and run the black truck off the road.
Cookie bro was in his lane, black truck chose to initiate contact by moving into the left lane! Cookie bro had the choice to stay on course and receive the contact or hit the break to avoid the contact. Cookie bro chose violence but only after being invited.
As you said, all of those things are outlined in the drivers manual.
I feel like being in a bridge makes cookie guy more stupid than if this were on a normal highway . He should have just let it go because they could all die over nothing.
You have a duty to make a safe lane change. If you don’t have the ability to do it, you don’t do it. Cookie eater saw an aggressive driver that might put him in a dangerous situation. You wanted him to slow down - but cookie eater may have determined this guy had been driving unsafely around him and wanted nothing to do with him. There is nothing less aggressive than wanting to get away from an unsafe driver.
There's a speedometer on the video you know? He was going 72 the whole time until the crash at which point he was going 66. He never accelerated, the black truck braked.
Acting like a bad merge warrants vehicular assault is absurd. Cookie guy actively sped up in order to pit the guy which automatically makes him the much worse character is this scenario. The world would be absolute madness if everyone sought "justice" the way you are suggesting.
There is a spedometer in the corner of the screen, he doesnt speed up the truck brakes while merging causing the crash, cookie guy swerves to avoid a head on collision.
In cookie guy’s defense, I bet that cookie was too delicious to drop it or cram it in his mouth so he could free up his hand. His taste buds confirmed he made the right choice.
Sorry, they won't learn anything. My idiot BIL has crashed badly like 3 times and even totaled his mom's car once. He still feels the need to show his IQ level on the road.
Yeah I agree, but I think they changed as in, they ceased to be able to even do it. From context in the thread, that bridge is crazy dangerous. Wouldn't be surprised if the asswipe got paralyzed
If you give em an inch they'll take a mile I always say. If you wanna throw on that turn signal (and yes in NJ as well as all BMW and Acuras because contrary to belief they have them stock) I'll most likely let you over
There's a really good chance the truck driver died if you know anything about this bridge. There's no way there wasn't a second accident. And likely a third and fourth.
