at the 38 second mark the Slowmaro is flat out breaking the law then continues to break the law for the rest of the video.

also, how do people listen to talk radio and not kill themselves. Especially speculative talk radio like sports, those guys know nothing more than anyone else on the street.

Lot of people at fault here, in order of highest fault.

1. Camero - obviously driving like a turd-burglar. Tailgating, cutting people off, etc. Classic douche nozzle.

2. Pick-up - decided to be a dick after camero almost hit him from merging and blocked camero in. While he may be getting his revenge on that camero, he is now blocking everyone else in the left lane.

3. The Semi - The semi, while mostly an innocent bystander, saw that the pick up was blocking the camero in. The semi could have let off the gas and given the camero some room to just pass on the right, thus avoiding the entire accident all together.

I say the pickup driver. Just let faster drivers go and stop trying to be a big shot.
since you are limited on everything in life we can point out to you that at 40 seconds you see a shadow of the car in front of the truck at that time.

This is you

Watch the end of the video again. Also, stfu.

I watched it twice, what is your point? If the pickup had a passenger in the front, he would most likely be dead and the pickup driver would have to live with guilt of killing his passenger.

omg i feel so proud of the pickup driver for boxing him in and the semi truck for playing along. Fuck him and his impatient ass. They didn't break any laws, and I'm sure they were both traveling at or below the speed limit. You don't like it that someone ahead of you is going the speed limit? Go fuck yourself!

lol

cars in front of the pickup were long gone after 40 seconds. The pickup was just being a big shot after that. He was silly to be playing games on the road around a semi.

Both acted like babies. After the kid in thepickup brake checked the kid in the Camaro, that should have been the end of it. Pickup had to prove he's just as retarded and immature by blocking the lane.

Camaro is obviously at fault for making a very dangerous maneuver, but pickup is a dick, no question about it.

EDIT: Fixed the name of the damn car, I blame my swedish-ness.

There was no brake checking going on. He was tailgating him so hard, any minute brake pressing would then constitute a "brake check", so it's not fair to call it a brake check.

You need to give 3 seconds of space between you and the driver in front. If the driver in front SLAMS on his brakes and you can't stop within 3 seconds, you have been brake checked.

Semi's might not be speeding but most of them drive like jerks on the road too. You don't have to be speeding to drive like a jerk.

So let me guess, in your book that exempts the Slowmaro from all the law breaking he did previous right?

IMO the 36 second mark is attempted manslaughter. You turn into an occupied lane where the other vehicle has nowhere to go you are trying to get them hurt in the name of your little hurry. Where was Camaro boy going? Have to get home to his Xbox? sorry his hurry and yours are not that important.

Since we all drive somewhat like jerks to an extent...courtesy gets us by. What happened here was that the pickup driver and the semi failed to extend courtesy to a dickhead in a camero.

There is no right to immediately vacate the way to a speeding vehicle. Pass in the passing lane does not mean break the law and speed by, it means take the passing lane to go past slower traffic. This may take a while, it's not like everyone has to pass a car at 10-15 mph in the fast lane.

Camaro definitely is at fault here. However, I also think the pick-up and semi were idiots for playing along.

Well, the pick-up definitely was playing games w the camaro, trying to box him in. Not sure if the semi truck was aware of what was going on, but regardless, the semi should have seen what was happening and played the safe route of just letting off his gas and letting the camaro have room to pass the pickup in the right lane.

All 3 were idiots in my book.

I understand the Camaro driver almost side swiped the pickup initially because he was drunk. But the pickup driver shouldn't have been a vigilante to the Camaro driver and try to punish him. Just let the faster/aggressive/drunk go by. The adrenaline rush from playing games on the road causes people to make bad decisions.

In general most semi drivers tend to be passive aggressive on the road. They like to box other cars in, create a wall and hold up traffic, run cars off the road, and pull into traffic where cars are moving quickly without any regard.

Both. Pickup for using left lane and not passing and camaro for driving dangerously.

I'm petty certain he did, but the pickup slowed as well to continue boxing the Camaro in.

What is your stance on semi trucks passing 2-3 other semi's by going 1-2km/h faster and blocking off the highway for a good 10 minutes?

Camaro drivers a dick, but I hope that pickup driver got a good lump on his head as well. He deserves it.

He got a wrecked truck and was even more late than if he just let captain jerkface pass. The upside is he caught a drunk driver. So there's that.

Bitchin' Camaro
Bitchin' Camaro
Just ran over a douchebag.

Pickup had a car in front of him when the Camaro was a total douche.
The Camaro earned being boxed in for a while.
If Camaro would have backed off, admitting defeat, the pickup wouldn't have had anyone to box in anymore and would have gone about his business with a smug grin, and cleared the semi.
Then the Camaro could have passed.

Yea the pickup guy boxed him in retaliation, but it was justifiable.

Do we know this wasn't an ISIS operation?
