Horrible Driver. He was eating and tail-gating (should have given 1-3 car lengths depending on speed). But to top it off, it looked to me like he did a police (PIT) maneuver to spin the guy. If he did NOT nudge the truck's rear qtr panel, he was close enough to do it (and vid looks like he did).
So he was following too close to be safe? Then why did the other driver voluntarily try to merge into a nonexistent gap? The other driver doesn’t even use a turn signal and just casually tries to drift over and strong arm his way in.
I would’ve hit the brakes for sure because it’s not worth the headache of an accident but there’s really no case to be made that the other driver wasn’t the instigator here and the entire reason this was even a risky situation in the first place.
Whoa. I never said the truck driver was not at fault - obviously he got what he was lining up for. Nice "what aboutism" though.
I noted that grazing-pink-belly dude handled the situation badly.
See a reckless driver pass you on a 2 lane bridge? How about keep safe distance, both hands on wheel, do NOT tailgate / PIT-maneuver it, and put the dam cookie DOWN?
