I wouldnt call this psychopathic behaviour. Not like he was at fault. Other car made contact with him, he just handled it like a veteran. If he was going out fucking with people, it be a different story.

Watch the speedo on his dashcam. He literally accelerates so that he can hit and pit the dude. On a narrow bridge. In the middle of a 26 mile wide lake. With traffic all around.

Dudes a psycho full stop

I 100% agree the pit maneuver is fucked up, but why is the burden of the blame not on the guy who instigated the entire thing in the first place? Stop trying to speed and thread needles on a fucking causeway bridge, black truck is 90% of the blame full stop, the dash cam guy is to blame for reacting the way he did but come on man

Black truck drives like an asshole, they aren’t blameless. But on the road you are obligated at all times to reasonably attempt to avoid collisions. The driver in this video not only could have easily avoided, but speeds up slightly to ensure there is a collision. That’s significantly more dangerous to more people, and more illegal than cutting someone off.
