highway merging

[Irongrip400]

You mean I should let the asshole that races to the front of the outside lane that he knows is going to end in front of me? Yeah right. Fuck him. Can't stand dick heads that think they more.important then anyone budding in.  Itso a different story when traffic is legitimately  screwed up and you can't see what's going on up front, then I'll help.out but I won't let any self serving jack ass in.

No, I don't. I hate that guy. But this was just a dude trying to get on the interstate and do his job while some twink who'd obviously been looking for a fight, decided to be an asshole and not let him over and cause an accident. Who knows what was behind the truck on the ramp. You can't just stop on an accelerating ramp, you use it to accelerate with the hopes that some selfish asshole doesn't block you from getting on. I for one would've loved for this Hebrew to go Worldstar on his ass. Would've served him right.

Like ukjeff said, I would love to hear his answer to "why didn't you just let him over?"

And the part about how he was going to ruin his job by having his license taken away.

That takes it to a whole nother level of assholeishness.

[The Ugly]

F'n jerkoff redneck. Dude should've merge him into the median, then kept on trucking.

[Disgusted]

You apply your brake slow down a few miles an hour and let the guy in. I do it all the time and usually flash my lights to let me know to go.

Always.

The pickup truck driver will be found to be liable. It's very clear in legal doctrine. He had an opportunity to avoid the accident but voluntarily contributed to it.

Yeah plus that truckers career is possibly on the line so he probably will go into court with an attorney who specializes in this type of stuff.

Doubt it. If the guy had time to film he had time to move his ass over. He instigated the incident.

Yeah, he'd obviously been planning this stunt.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

the pickup truck was clearly in the wrong. he wanted a confrontation. where did he think the truck driver was going to go? just come to a dead stop on a on ramp?

This...The redneck is suppose to move or slow down when a car/truck is merging into the highway that is already ahead of you... Where the redneck fucked up was the truck was ahead of him. If the 18 wheeler would have smashed the front of his truck into the redneck, that's when the 18 wheeler would have been at fault. This dumb redneck dun goofed...

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Yeah plus that truckers career is possibly on the line so he probably will go into court with an attorney who specializes in this type of stuff.

What will happen is a cop shows up to the accident. Cop will see what part of the vehicles hit each other. When he sees that the redneck hit the middle to back part of the 18 wheeler, he will ticket the redneck and will find him at fault. And if the cop does look at the video, the redneck may be brought up on other charges...

[Ropo]

This!

Children/Semi-drivers/little fucks/teens/twentyyearoldassfucks are the ones who think they own the road. The asshole could have got into the left lane and let the truck in. Do you know how hard it is to drive an 18 wheeler if you don't have a brains?

What an asshole they are. And to you assholes who think the pickup truck was wrong, your stupid fucks.

Fixed..

Just for your information: Guy in the 18 wheeler get his job simply by going to the driving school, and learn to drive. It takes about 3-4 weeks, and he is sertificated driver for 18 wheelers. Do this 3-4 weeks make him a superhuman? If you cellphone stop working and you take it to the shop for repair, that guy who fix it has been ~3 years at the vocational school to learning his trade, so how to compare these two guys? Even an ape can learn how to drive, and guys in the traffick trade are those, which doesn't have enough brains even for the vocational schools.

Secondly, all over the world is rule that those who are coming to highway, give way for those who already are on it. Change lanes to swerve these morons is the most idiotic thing to do, because mental capacity of the average american cannot handle two simultaneous movements. They should swerve AND look at the mirror for people coming behind them, and that hey can't handle = even more serious hazard. Most common reasong for the accidents are morons who don't drive by the rules, and those idiots kill thousands per year.

watch the video he hung on the guy for about half a mile, he had time to pull over or slow down, he solicited the collision.
The guy in the 18 wheeler was trying to access the lane, a slip road is only so long, what do you want the guy in the 18 wheeler do, run out of road and drive down an embankment or slam on and stop on the slip road?

[sync pulse]

Pickup truck drops back in the traffic flow to let the lorry/18 wheeler on...then after the 18 wheeler is on you pass the thing...dangerous situation averted...worse case elapsed time-30 seconds.

[Skylge]

Usually best to drive defensively. Not worth all the trouble. Give such professionals drivers right of way

So you are saying that everyone have a duty to jink morons who are driving the 18 wheelers, because these assclowns have no brakes, have no brain functions at all etc., and not any kind of oblications of safe driving? I am glad you explained this to me, sir..

You have a duty to look after your own safety and others whilst on the road, if some people are dicks then its up to non-dicks to compensate for that, if you don't then that makes two dicks.

Why the fuck would you not just pull over instead of letting a guy collide with your vehicle.
Fuck me do people not have lives to be getting on with, all the hassle of going through insurance to get your car fixed, chances are the other driver isn't insured so you end up getting stiffed.

Fuck me, just make life easier for yourself.

[WannaBePro]

Redneck with the camera is an idiot. Its common courtesy to let merging traffic merge onto the highway. Either slow down or switch lanes. He was definitely in the wrong here, truck driver did nothing wrong in this case.
However, I will say this, I've been almost hit numerous times by truckers who aren't paying attention on the road, or flat out falling asleep at the wheel. There are legit problems with truckers sharing the road with regular cars, but this video just shows a trucker merging and an asshole trying to start shit.
I don't remember where I saw this, but I think its some state in the US who either have or want to have trucker-only highways which run parallel to regular highways. This is actually a great idea IMO.

As a gentlemen who's been behind the steering wheel of several 18-wheelers for many, MANY years now, this thread has provided me a breath of fresh air. So I thank you gentlemen for that. Now it certainly goes without saying, not ALL truck drivers are created equal. There are many out there that shouldn't be out there rolling down the roads ( *cough cough* Middle Easterners out of Canada *cough cough* ) ... HOWEVER, you will find the MAJORITY of us know what we are doing. And when things get rough out there on the road ( example : bad weather ), you'll want to be behind us. And, as long as you're not tailgating too close, we'll be glad to lead the way through the fire and into the promised land.

[gib]

I hate big trucks. Been tailgated many times.

Truck drivers should really learn to drive safe and defensively regardless of size. Don't be a bully just because you have a bigger vehicle. You are dealing on the road with real lives. Children, fathers, grand parents. Just chill and drive a little safer.

As a trucker what are your thoughts on the video clip?

I do too but what can you do? These idiots will smash you into nothing. I just grin and bare it especially since I carry.

[anabolichalo]

Not I !

neither do i

i am a very aggressive driver

fast, unpredictable, vindictive

when someone with a weak engine tail gates me i ruin their day you can bet on it , slow down do nearly complete stand stil, when they want to over take, keep blocking them etc etc

i do this to public buses too, it's very funny to me

as soon as someone with sub 200hp car or something tries to pressure me, i put on my aviators and bring the pain

[SF1900]

While the guy in the car was mainly in the wrong, good for him!!! He was probably just frustrated about all the crappy truck drivers out there who throw around their vehicle like its nothing. I cant count how many times a truck wanted to change lanes and would not even signal. would just switch lanes. I guess they just assume they are going to let you in because they have a huge truck. Its extremely dangerous. Good for this guy!

I assumed halfway through the video it was going to end with the guy in the car either dead or seriously hurt because of his stupidity.
