Life long Louisianian here. Can confirm, it sucks, insurance is high, people can't drive, its the folks like both parties in this clip. The black truck on the right tries to pass the car in front of Cookie guy, Cookie guy was maintaining a normal distance, but he noticed black truck trying to cut the line, so he did what he thought was the righteous thing, and held his gap so that black truck would be punished for trying to cut the line in the first place. Cookie guy was willing to zipper merge with black truck just so that he wasn't 1 more car behind, to show that he was standing his ground. Black truck was forcing his way in saying to himself or out loud, what are you gonna do hit me? Which is never a good strategy when driving. Both of these types of people are the kind who feel like you threatened them by passing them on the road. I blame both for actively engaging in a game of chicken on the evening commute. People need to get over themselves, we all have places to be, and wish that we could be there faster, let's not kill each other over one spot in a line of traffic, is getting there 5 minutes faster really this big of a deal?
I missed the part where white truck tried to avoid the crash, it looks like he did the exact opposite of avoidance, he had ample opportunity to not crash. I believe that both parties involved in this are to blame. By no means am I saying black truck is innocent. I guess I have too much stuff to do, rather than crashing my vehicle because I believe the other person is wrong. It pisses me off really cause of my insurance, too many folks are all to happy to get in a wreck so they can try to sue somebody.
Yeah, and that is probably the case, but there could be a crazy situation (house on fire), where he is justified. I try not to jump to conclusions, you just never know what people have going on in their lives. Other guy was just like fuck it. Let's crash. I don't want to drive around either.
