(8,217 posts)The guy filming this on his camera, while f-ing driving, and going at that pace, should have went to the right, and let the guy pass to avoid incidents.
There is enough road for both of them.

(10,418 posts)that if you drive courteously you can usually avoid shit like that. Like the other poster said, it doesn't excuse Mr. Redneck Mobile, but the person filming that could have easily been involved in that accident and injured or killed instead of laughing.
I know some people intentionally try to piss other people off. They get a kick out of it. I drive for a living and see it a lot during my daily route. Don't play games behind the wheel. You're playing with people's lives.

Very asshole.
Filming and taping while driving.
Even more asshole.
Laughing at someone having an accident.
Complete asshole.
That couple obviously deserve each other.
Horrible people.

(961 posts)This looks like a secondary road with left hand turn lanes. The 50 mph may have been 5 miles or so over the limit already and the driver in the pickup is way too close.
On second look, there are cross streets and railroad tracks. There is also traffic keeping her from entering the right lane. As to the change in speed? When he changes lanes (at the 1:02 mark), he cuts of the vehicle they just passed, he seems to accelerate past her. After that it is hard to tell who is changing their velocity. Is it her or is it him trying to keep up the harassment?

(17,671 posts)and who knows how long it took them to cue up the camera before they started shooting. Of course the dude in the truck was a first class jerk too. They were doing around sixty, and on that road that was probably fast enough too. But for all the people with the camera knew he had a legit reason to be in a hurry.
It's always best to drive defensively and not annoy others.

(16,201 posts)The other driver had plenty of opportunities to move over and let him pass. I suspect there is more to this than what's on video.
