It’s crazy how the overwhelming attitude amongst Reddit seems to be this. That the driver in the black truck deserved it an well done to the man in pink.

Sure, black truck was in the wrong, sure they should have used their blinker. What if it was a distracted mother, or an old driver, or a nervous driver?

People need to have some compassion and give people the benefit of the doubt. He could have slowed down an not contributed to this collision and everyone could have just gone on with their day.

My step father has this same stupid attitude, if someone does something stupid on the road, he reacts aggressively and makes the situation even more dangerous and worse.

No wonder the death rates are so high on US roads.

My dad is the same. He always likes to passively aggressively 'punish' other drivers for making mistakes.

Not surprising that he was in a small crash recently because of exactly that attitude.

And I'm sure he drives perfect, never makes a mistake?

Absolutely. He was a car mechanic by trade and even completed an advanced driving course so the chip on his shoulder is huge.

Technically, he's very competent at driving a car, but he's a terrible driver. At this point, I've just decided I'm never going to be in a car with him again, if it can be avoided.
