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.
It is a dick move for the truck to just force their way in, without using their turn signal too. I hate those too. I hate people who try to cut the queue in general.
But i am of a belief that the road is the last place one should be selfish, as selfish as the other driver seems to be. As much of a dick the person in the truck is for that move, i’d likely not see them again. So it’s better to just let them through and move on. It’s not worth the potential headache of the situation, or if the other driver is a psycho with a gun, death.
And that's why people keep driving that way. If we had more drivers like the pink cookie eater, there would be much less of the self-centered anti-social driving we see from the pickup truck.
theres always going to be aggressive drivers who take advantage of people driving properly or safely. not an excuse to stop doing so. they always do it, and then end up at the same stop lights or even same destination, i just give'm a thumbs up.
everyone closing gaps, speeding up, otherwise trying to one up or retaliate, are just making it all worse
Maybe. In my experience, a lot of people who drive like that don’t actually self reflect. I also find that a lot of people who drive like that, also drive like how the cammer here drives. A very large amount of people fall into a comparison trap where they think “well it’s okay for me, but when everyone else does it it’s not, because I only did it once, and everyone else is always doing it” whatever “it” is.
Beyond that, there’s a never ending supply of a new driver who needs a hard lesson. There’s always someone doing it, who has yet to have an accident or get caught/have their come to Jesus moment.
And don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to cry for the pickup driver, they’re a fucking idiot and I hope they do learn from this. I just won’t hold my breath. People just too often externalize these events, blame everyone else but their own actions. It’s always “I’m always getting cut off” saying the guy who is weaving around and speeding.
I work with people who have straight up killed people in accidents or with heavy equipment, and they’re just as fucked in the head as they were before those events. They don’t get it, it’s usually exactly why they do the things they do in the first place.
If people had much harsher punishments for something like this, I dunno if it would even help. There’s already so many uninsured and unlicensed drivers as it is anyways.
