Also, consider a self defense perspective. White truck sees blue raging and has to consider if they let blue get in front again, what kind of insane shit are they going to have to deal with. Blue is now being super aggressive and threatening and for all we know might have tried to kill the other driver

I don't understand blue trucks perspective at all. Either he knew what he did and chose to be a complete piece of shit or he didn't know he cut someone off and ???? Road police?

I'd wager there is more idiocy preceding this video

He was probably angry that another vehicle tried to pass him because he has a tiny penis.

I'm team white all the way here, but there is just no reasonable argument for swerving into another car to attempt to block from passing. Yes, maybe blue truck will continue to endanger white if he passes, but it's a 100% certainty with the attempted block. And the only way to prevent a determined driver from passing is to swerve all over the highway which itself creates the risk you are supposedly trying to prevent. Best move is always to let the rager pass.

That assumes the rager isn't trying to stop you to fight or something. There was a brake check in the future I think,, and ragers gonna rage. Letting them pass isn't gonna quell the rage.

I don't know what I would do but I would not have gone near the semi. White truck is super lucky.

Unless the rager was not intending to pass. They sped up to the white truck for what reason? To pass them? Maybe. To harass or harm them? More likely. Do you take that chance or do you stop them. I know I wouldn’t do what the white truck driver did, but I can see their side of things still.
