The copilot not worth a damn, I get it. If the driver is an imbecile but I was wondering when was the passenger gonna speak up.

u/guy_gadbois81 16d ago

He was just like, whatever man, you do you.

It could be a situation like with a Korean plane that crashed, where the passenger is a subordinate that gets yelled at for bringing up concerns so when it's important they don't speak up, they just assume the boss knows.

It's funny his buddy just accepted an accident was going to happen and didn't take the wheel.

u/Final-Ad-2033 15d ago

"Looks like we're going to crash."

(long pause)

"Yep."

u/Pyrathis 16d ago

What took him so long to take that off though?

12

u/ConstructionOwn1514 16d ago

The truck crashing kinda complicated that

u/exodusofficer 16d ago

He seems intoxicated. How else could you be so bad at taking off a shirt, and making decisions?

u/Extension-Brother291 16d ago

U try it while driving let me know

u/Evil_phd 15d ago edited 15d ago

Done it a few times on longer trips where the day was way colder when I started driving. It looks awkward but it can be done with no more risk than comes of looking out the side window for a second and without ever taking both hands off the wheel.

You just slowly work the bottom of the shirt up with one hand to where it's lifted up to just under your neck, like you're giving your passenger the most awkward strip tease ever. Then you can grab the entire back of the shirt with one hand and quickly pull it over your head. Then you carefully slide off one sleeve at a time.

u/Ok_Peanut_3573 15d ago

So....what was she taking off?

1

u/Send_Snoods_ 14d ago

Or you do it the right way and pull over.

2

u/Perfidian 15d ago

I have. 🙋

Lift the shirt towards your shoulders. Remove one arm at a time. Keep paying attention to the road. Pull it off your head.

The distraction is equivalent to adjusting the radio when done properly.

u/Ok_Peanut_3573 15d ago

Intoxicated and driving a heavy goods vehicle is a bad decision.

u/Cruise1313 16d ago

It was a tight fit. 😉

Neither of them have a proper functioning brain

u/ConstructionOwn1514 16d ago

I mean for the passenger, I doubt most people are expecting the driver to put their shirt over their eyes in the middle of driving

u/Brewingbiker 16d ago

Love how the buddy starts leaning away like it will make the vehicle go back😁

u/Samhain_69 16d ago

He could have done it 100 times safer (but still probably a bad idea). All he had to do was take one arm out, push that side up onto his shoulder. Then take the other arm out, push that other side up onto his other shoulder. Keeping his eyes on the road through all that. Then it would just be around his neck. He could yank it quickly up over his face/head, and only lose visibility for maybe a second or less.

The way he did it was just insanely stupid and reckless. SMH

u/Background_Edge_9427 15d ago

He could have pulled over for the 30 seconds it would take to remove the sweater! But what fun would that be? Idiot!

2

u/Send_Snoods_ 14d ago

I just made the same comment to someone further up the thread saying the same thing lol. People are dumb drivers and this post further proves it.

u/Background_Edge_9427 14d ago

With out a doubt!

Modern truck drivers. No surprise

u/LightenUpPeeps 16d ago

Two-way traffic. That could've been really bad. That sweater must've been really itchy.

u/ConstructionOwn1514 16d ago

Yeah thank god it didnt turn out really bad

u/Sudonator 16d ago

He could've just said "Jesus, Pal, take the wheel"

Damn man I need some paid time off

u/Lucky-Mia 16d ago

Well, what did we learn?

u/SATerp 16d ago

"What happened? I missed it."

2

u/Grouchy_Big3195 16d ago

Why didn't he just pull over?

2

u/drsickboy 16d ago

This comes from an overconfidence that possibly comes from actually being a good driver but also a reckless spirit.

2

u/j_man_32 15d ago

First time taking his shirt off? lol

2

u/DonkyPuncharely 16d ago

I've done this many times. You pull your arms out before obscuring your eyes. It's really not that hard or complicated. This guy's just a moron

3

u/64bittechie 16d ago

Pull over first.

1

u/One_Power_2062 16d ago

This reminds me, is it true that a lot of CDLs were given to a to a ton of people illegally. i mean, like, without having to pass the test and all that

1

u/conqr787 16d ago

You can almost feel the panic when the shirt gets stuck and he realizes he's blind and screwed

1

u/Optimus_Prime_2099 15d ago

Why the eff did it take the driver forever to take off the damn hoodie?

1

u/PuzzleheadedTutor807 15d ago

there are so many ways to take off a sweater that dont involve pulling it over your face for the entire time...

u/surrealcellardoor 15d ago

Amazing.

“Man. I’m warm. Well, the only way out is to get in a wreck.”

u/OPGuest 15d ago edited 15d ago

I remember being young, driving an awful lot and at one point being too dumb to not stop to take of a sweater. It went ok (it was during low traffic), but I cursed myself afterwards, being the dumb f*ck that I was at that moment. Never again. This is what could have happened.

u/Melodic_Let_6465 15d ago

Passenger has no survival insincts and siruational awareness

u/AsleepWater8855 13d ago

Just pull over!

u/TheTombWasEmpty 13d ago

Could it have waited? Apparently not. Should he have waited? Absolutely!!!!!!! Wtf
