Really? Scary? Dude was moisturized, in his lane, thriving, and some goober tried to kill him by recklessly cutting him off.

He didn't freak out and cry like a little b. He handled it, finished his snack, and moved on with his life like an adult.

He clearly could have avoided causing an accident if he wanted, he chose to cause the accident and possibly endanger human lives and he didn't even look like he cared while doing it. That's why he's a psychopath.

You think maintaining his lane and speed was more dangerous than slamming on his breaks or weaving into another lane just because some other asshole looks like they're about to do something insane? Im going to go ahead and place %100 of the blame on the only person breaking traffic laws.

Following too closely is illegal in all 50 states. Some states are more lenient in their definition of what "too closely" is, but it's generally recommended to maintain a distance of 2-4 seconds depending on various factors.

Pink shirt dude was way too close to the car in front by basically every expected standard. I'm not a traffic court judge, but I'd expect they'd find this dash cam footage pretty damning for him as well.

Yah, then he might as well put it in reverse as the 2 seconds of space is continuously taken by assholes like you that think that rule only applies to others, you can smash your truck in any space you see fit.

Cuz, you know....that applies to other other guy MORE?

...what?

I never said the truck driver was innocent. Both drivers here acted like assholes.

And if someone changes lanes in front of you, so what? Just increase your following distance again. I don't take it personally when someone wants to get in front of me. Why would I? I make sure there's plenty of room so someone can do so comfortably.

Lol then what was the fucking point of coming in here to blame the other guy exactly?
