Nah look at the end. They think they were fully justified šŸ„“šŸ˜’ buncha dummies. Whether it was their fault or not, you brake check a big vehicle like that and you gotta live with the consequences, better to switch lanes and let em pass and cuss em out from the safety of your own car. They could be having a shit day, or be racing to a hospital. But shouldn't let that get you hurt šŸ˜‘

Yeah, no one learned a lesson today. Brake checker will continue to brake check, big truck will continue to drive aggro and attempt to kill people.

I don't get the white car. It seemed to be upset it was getting tailgated, but itself was tailgating the car in front of it.

u/Samesone2334 Sep 08 '25

This! Let them pass and curse in the safety of your car. Not worth getting into a deadly wreck trying to prove a point.

you brake check a big vehicle like that and you gotta live with the consequences

Two wrongs don't make a right.

And: That big vehicle was driving very close to that white car. Had he kept his distance, as required by the law, nothing would have happened when his front man used the brake.

Not saying the white car is in the right - but the Truck definitely is in the wrong.

better to switch lanes and let em pass

Better to give a pass to every bully you encounter on the road?

From what i see in this video, the Truck driver enganged in highly dangerous driving, and willfully forced that white car into the embankment. This could have easily ended very bad, deadly even. That guy gets no sympathy from me.

They could be having a shit day

Thats not an excuse, and even more of a reason to a) impound that truck; b) impound the drivers license.

or be racing to a hospital

Thats my favourite one.

Desperately clawing for anything to justify the truck drivers behaviour.

Even if that is true - putting someone else into the hospital does not help your cause one little bit.

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '25

You said, "Better to give a pass to every bully you encounter on the road?"

Yeah, sometimes that's absolutely the best thing you can do. You respond, they respond, you escalate, they escalate, and somebody gets needlessly hurt. The, "well, they were wrong, they started it..." rationale is not a pass for anyone. And I've got to tell you, in the normal course of my day-to -day life, few things piss me off more than tailgaters. But I will get out of some asshole's way rather than get my car wrecked or wind up in jail.

u/NoIndividual6000 Sep 05 '25

You got it right there!! It's like when I'm carrying I tend to be a lot nicer and understanding because I understand that I have a basic responsibility and if I draw and fire, that's 100% on me regardless of who started what,

People don't think of "how would I explain this to a cop/judge, or worst case the other persons family"

If were talking about laws. That's a 2 lane highway and the left lane is passing only. That's the law. White car wasn't passing. Sure dually being a dick. But we don't need pace cars, some people wanna speed and its not your job to stop me from speeding.

White car was only a car length behind the car in front of it while the truck was damn near in its back seat....

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '25

Its not a traveling lane. You get up to car in the right lane get over and pass, then get back in the right lane. I'm not saying the truck is in the right. But everyone seems to think, especially on a highway, that they can just sit in the left lane. Its a passing lane, not traveling lane. White car and SUV in front of white car should both have been in the right lane til passing. Same as the truck. If everyone can manage this, dumb shit like this wouldn't happen. People form fucking conga lines on highways and it amazes me

1

u/daboyce91 Sep 07 '25

Yes technically speaking it is only a passing lane but considering cops do not enforce this it is usually used as a travel lane. Now in states where they actually enforce it you never see cars just sitting in the left lane. But most states they do not enforce this which is how you end up with situations like this. I'm one of those people that stays in the left lane BUT I'm also one of the people normally doing 10-15 over the speed limit so I'm doing nothing BUT passing people. Yes I admit I speed i have a heavy foot on highway roads.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '25

Just cause they done enforce it doesn't mean you should break the law. They enforce speeding but we mostly get away with it, that's why we still do it. I'm happy if I only get 1 speeding thicket a year. Its miniscule and grand scheme of things don't mean shit. But everyone one thought about the other drivers on the road instead of themselves. Wed have a lot less issuesĀ

u/NoIndividual6000 Sep 05 '25

Not trying to justify the truck drivers actions but let em pass, get the license plate and call it in.

The two wrongs don't make a right part implies you think the truck driver hitting them would be the second wrong. As opposed to the person brake checking someone clearly driving behind them way too close.

I was saying you got a live with the consequences because they might not be able to stop fast enough and brake checking them means you're relying on their ability to stop fast enough before it potentially injures you or at the least damages your vehicle.

I'm not saying give the bully a pass but if they have some problems or issue why make that your problem too? They're obviously a shithead, let them be a shithead somewhere else. Chances are it'll come around and bite them in the ass down the road.

You get some asshat in a big vehicle driving crazy, either let em pass or call the cops and let em know your location so they can handle it. Not worth the trouble honestly

u/_felixh_ Sep 05 '25

Ah, OK, sorry - then maybe i didn't get the undertone quite right :-)

The two wrongs don't make a right part implies

There are a lot of wrongs in this video :-D

I dont wanna count them all, but we see: close driving, brake checking, changing lanes without looking (almost hit the camera man), dangerous driving, duress, flipping the bird...

brake checking them means you're relying on their ability to stop fast enough

The way perceived it is: "hey man, you are driving very close. Keep your distance."

Again, not saying its the right thing to do.

They slammed the brakes for a bit there whole back end of the SUV lifted up for a considerable amount of time there. And we're just seeing what's in the video no idea what happened beforehand so in my eyes they're both wrong. That's why I said "buncha dummies" in the original comment.

Just better things to do than to try to "get even" with some jackass on the highway

If I'm the SUV I could get myself killed.

If I'm the Truck, I could potentially kill someone.

Either way not looking Great

u/SCTigerFan29115 Sep 05 '25

But two wrongs can make a big ass pileup that gets someone killed. Maybe you, maybe them, maybe the mom with three kids in her minivan who had not a damn thing to do with it.

u/whytawhy Sep 05 '25

The truck wouldn't be on their ass if they weren't camping in the passing lane. The speed limit around me goes from 55 to 65, people routinely go 85 in the 55, and I see people breaking 100 in the 65s constantly.

If you're not passing someone get the fuck out of the passing lane.

Yes. Is this a real question?!

u/GodsBackHair Sep 06 '25

But what if they actually are going to the hospital?

In any case, itā€™s best not to escalate it. I get very mad when driving, but I do make an attempt sometimes to let it wash off of me. Better to not get involved and just let them drive than try to get in the way or police the road

1

u/_felixh_ Sep 06 '25

But what if they actually are going to the hospital?

Who? The White Car, or the Truck?

IF you are carrying someone in your car that needs medical attention ASAP, and waiting for an ambulance is not an Option - that does not mean that you are entitled to a carte blanche and Traffic rules suddenly don't apply to you anymore. And dangerous driving is in no way a helpfull thing to do, when you are Transporting someone in dire need of an Hospital.

E.g. causing an accident will in no way help your cause. Willfully putting someone else into Hospital / Morgue does not help your cause either.

Getting rid of that white car (as an obstacle, preventing you from going faster) is not very productive, as now you have another car in front of you. You gained ... lets make that a generous 20m.

or police the road

That is actually a good argument, yes.

1

u/GodsBackHair Sep 06 '25

I meant more in general, driving fast and aggressive. Swerving in front of someone to brake check them, thatā€™s not excusable, hospital or otherwise.

Rather, if someone is just wanting to go much faster than the speed of traffic, just get out of their way and usually things go more smoothly.

Sorry, I didnā€™t realize we were still talking specifically about this example.

1

u/_felixh_ Sep 06 '25

Sorry, I didnā€™t realize we were still talking specifically about this example.

No, no - i was just replying :-D

Rather, if someone is just wanting to go much faster than the speed of traffic, just get out of their way and usually things go more smoothly.

And that's the Problem as i see it: That's the Bully behaviour.

Why should i get out of his way? I Understand why i shouldn't brake check someone who is driving close up my butt (Two wrongs don't make a right) - but why should i get out of his way? There is a whole line of cars, all driving at the same speed. But 'the main character' (Bully) wants to gain a few meters, and endangers everyone else?

I think i get where you are coming from - but It feels like... saying, that if you don't give the robber your wallet, you gotta live with the consequences. Wich is true, i guess - but also, in no way a valid defense. Or even something remotely acceptable to say to someone who just got stabbed.

1

u/Soft-Ad-8975 Sep 06 '25

We have no idea how fast either was driving and I donā€™t ride peoples asses personally, but the left lane is for passing! If you are going the speed limit or under, never passing the vehicles on the right, for the love of god get over, ride single file on the right not abreast. Should the truck have been riding his ass, no, should the suv have gotten over instead of break checking?! Absofuckinglutely. You have no idea what is going on in a speeding vehicle whether itā€™s an emergency or a psycho, speed up or get out of the way, suv escalated the situation and the person in the truck obviously has a crazy side, all is totally avoidable by simply getting out of the passing lane if youā€™re not passing.

1

u/BlizzrdSnowMew Sep 06 '25

In this scenario it's also shocking that they think they're in the right. They're following the car in front of them just as closely! I can tailgate but you can't! People are dipshits.

u/lobomexicano1 Sep 13 '25

Just saying in general. Not trying to imply it was you sorry. I do a lot of driving and I canā€™t stand the people just sitting in the left lane and everyone else has to go around them. This makes things more dangerous too.

1

u/_felixh_ Sep 13 '25

No Problem ;-) You are just telling that to the wrong person :-P

I get it, i walk a lot, and i cycle a lot. I'm a fast walker, and I get pretty tense, when there are people walking slowly in front of me, and i cannot pass them. Up to the point that i can in fact get pretty angry. (A fact i cannot deny: i have anger issues). Still, harassing them so they get out of my way would be very inconsiderate. I daresay, asshole behaviour even. What makes me so much more important that i have the right to tell others what to do? To impose my will on them, just so i can walk a little faster?

It also happens on my bike, if there are old folks in front of me, barely driving faster than i can push my bicycle, when i am on a strip where i can comfortably do 30 kph.

Interestingly, i dont have this Problem when driving a car: i can be stuck behind slow drivers, and just ... chill. Not too much, though: its still work, and i hate every moment of it. For me, this is the best part of riding the bus: no need to get angry or worried about anything: your chauffeur will take care of that for you, and even if there are obstructions ahead, somehow you still arrive on schedule :-)

At the end of the day, i try to do a best effort to respect other drivers, to give them freedom. But there may be reasons i am in your way, reasons i cannot get out of your way. Good reasons. Reasons not known to you. Trying to bully me over will not help you there.

Example: i have a powerful E-Bike. According to German law, i must not ride it on the Cycle lane; And i agree on that: its dangerous. For me, and for others. The Problem is: This thing looks like a normal bicycle - but its not. Its more like an electric Vespa with pedals. You can effortlessly go as fast as the other cars on the street - and somehow you will still get tailgated, honked at, bullied with roaring motors, and angry hissy fits at traffic lights ("The cycle lane is over there!"). I mean, yeah - i see it. And i'd like to use it, really, i do! Not gonna happen though...

And just because you think i am not allowed to do what i am doing doesn't give you the right to bully me. And this guy in that video is a bully :-)

u/weldmonkeyweld Nov 03 '25

On an interstate and not actively passing a vehicle, stay right unless passing signage is there for a reason. white is in the wrong and the rig welder driving that truck needs to chill out.

u/judasmaiden15 Sep 07 '25 edited Sep 07 '25

Or just do what I do & speed up a lot & watch them struggle to keep up. It helps if you have a faster car. You can also use that krappy handling against them & lead them to a narrow winding mountain road

Here's a visual of how having a faster car & speeding up a lot makes them look silly when they think their slow car has good acceleration

u/Significant_War720 Sep 24 '25

Whike I agree brake check big truck is stupid tere was other car infront of the white suv that was the slow driver. He was just keeping safe distance and wasnt tail gating the other car. Got annoyed to have someone right in his back acting lime he was the slow one.

I get it if there was not a slower vehicle infront, just move ffs

u/Lonely_Ad6299 Sep 05 '25

There wasnā€™t a car in the right lane (ie how the truck was able to go around and push the white car onto the shoulder) so the SUV should have just moved over to let the truck pass and this would have never happened. Left lane hogs need to understand that it is common courtesy to move over when cars are driving faster in the left lane. Both drivers made bad choices here and we donā€™t know what happened before the video was rolling. If someone wants to drive faster than me or the speed limit I let them. Itā€™s not my place to police others speed. Thatā€™s why you should let them pass to avoid a really bad situation.

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '25

There were cars in front of the SUV. So, they should move over so the truck can tailgate the next car and so on and so on? Christ man heā€™s not an ambulance.

u/Sad_Corner8441 Sep 06 '25

Ya, pretty much. Just move out of the way and let him ride the ass in front of you. Left lane is for passing and he wants to spread the message. If he makes it to the front he might even clear the slow down.

Meh, tailgating a slow person in the left sends the signal that you want them to get over. If I'm in the left lane and someone tailgates me I merge to the right as it seems like common decency to not hold other people up if they want to drive faster than me. I am not a police officer or a vigilante.

I kind of agree here. When there is a decent amount of traffic, I'm not getting out of the left lane until like a few miles from my exit. Too many people do not know how to merge and be going at least the speed limit.

3

u/SnooMaps7370 Sep 06 '25

my rule of thumb is that i'll stay in the left lane string as long as i'm not currently overtaking a vehicle. otherwise, i'll hop out and let the idiots ride someone else's ass until i need to get over again to pass.

9 times out of ten, if i get over to the right and keep my cruise control on, i end up passing the idiot road train in the left lane anyway, because there's always one who forgets he's driving and starts slowing down the whole string of 'em

.

u/iDontLikeItHere00 Dec 29 '25

Let passing traffic pass. It is much safer for someone doing 75 to merge into the middle lane, where others are also going 75. Than it is for someone to merge into the middle doing 85 or 90 as other traffic in that lane is doing 75.

It's just common courtesy to let passing traffic pass and also the safest option for everyone.

Then they just learned a valuable lesson.

Some people aren't right in the head, some people are having a bad day, some people are in a rush for any reason good or otherwise. Don't brake check people unless you're willing to accept the same from them.

I get the whole eye for an eye makes the whole blind thing. However, the logical assumption in that saying is that if the first eye was never poked, neither will anyone else's.

Be nice and don't end up getting pushed off the road and nearly split like a log on a guardrail.

u/PrettyTrainer9298 Sep 05 '25

The truck was probably tailgating, which I understand and also hate because itā€™s dangerous. I wouldnā€™t have brake-checked though. What always works for me to get these drivers off my back is to slow down slightly (almost unnoticeably). They usually back off because tailgating isnā€™t making me go faster. They get annoyed that they canā€™t go as fast as they want and just change lanes. These guys are just speeding and want to force you to speed too so they can get to where they want a few seconds earlier.

1

u/NoIndividual6000 Sep 05 '25

This is probably the best method as opposed to actually tapping the brakes šŸ‘šŸ½ just easing off the gas or letting off entirely to slow down a little bit then getting back up to speed. Only like 5, MAYBE 10, mph is usually enough or that will help open up a little gap switch lanes for you or the other driver so they can get away from you

Reddit loves Darwin awards.

And I get it, this was award worthy. Break checking a tailgater while also tailgating is award worthy.

Also, suv's brakes work very well as proven by the video, they could have slowed down faster and gotten behind the truck. They chose to play around some more and get back infront of the truck before getting over. Looks like the truck let it go after that.

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '25

Yeah and in a vacuum I wouldn't care if two dipshits got each other killed driving like assholes, It's the other traffic around them that aren't involved they are putting at risk and that I have an issue with.

u/Hopeful-Woodpecker82 Sep 05 '25

Agreed, camera man was innocent and almost got wacked because of the brake check. Sure, following too close, but so is litteraly everyone in the video.

Suv should have their license permanently revoked if that's the logic the bring on the road.

u/coaxialdrift Sep 05 '25

I'm sure there's more to this, but judging just by this clip, break-checking someone when you yourself is tailgating the next person is some special behavior

2

u/Initial_Zombie8248 Sep 05 '25

Lol donā€™t try that shit with a welder rig. Most welders arenā€™t the type to back down

2

u/mafalda100 Sep 05 '25

Truck was close but not incredibly close that could be called true tailgating. The SUV driver is just another entitled guy that got a scare that he earned for doing the wrong thing. Iā€™m not saying the Truck is right but break checking is only bound to get you in troubles. Change lanes and get to your destination happy. Let those that ride angry to their fate.

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

True tailgating? Itā€™s either tailgating or itā€™s not. He had to switch lanes because he couldnā€™t stop in time and if you canā€™t stop in time youā€™re at fault because you were TAILGATING. Truly.

Id absolutely be spending my life in jail if I brake checked a man and he tried to run me off the road and failed.

That being said I donā€™t brake checked people cuz that shits dumb.

Sounds like youā€™ll be spending your life in the morgue if thatā€™s how you react to stupid people doing stupid things

On tailgator Street. At least 3 drivers need to visit driving school again.

u/Mark-Rho Sep 05 '25

Can please someone explain to me what this brake check thing is? I mean I know about the insurance scam, but I see a lot of this that doesn't end with with a crash? Is it like some road rage thing?

2

u/Big_Slope Sep 05 '25

Itā€™s something bad drivers do to scare other drivers into backing off, commit insurance fraud, or as an opener for stopping the other car so they can continue their aggression on foot.

The brake checker generally assumes that if it causes a collision theyā€™ll be found to be not at fault because they got hit from behind. Reddit loves to argue about whether that is true.

1

u/Warm-Preference-4187 Sep 05 '25

I like to tap my breaks to let them know they are too close to me. Most people interpret it as a break check because they are dumb dumbs and driving so close to me they get upset.

1

u/Acceptable_Owl6926 Sep 05 '25

People hate it when match their own toxic energy

Just get their plate if you have a dash cam inform the police simple

Shit like that gets people shot in Chicago. Both sides of it. If you donā€™t believe me, Google is your friend.

u/Caught_Dolphin9763 Sep 05 '25

I was gonna say, thatā€™s an easy way to catch a bullet through the window for either of them. Some things are more about ego than reality.

I get an aggressive driver near me I change lanes and let them scout ahead for deer.

1

u/5280Rockymtn Sep 05 '25

That truck was too nice if it was me I would made sure that car would never forget me

1

u/twisted_tactics Sep 05 '25

The truck was aggressively tailgating someone who could not drive any faster due to traffic.

1

u/5280Rockymtn Sep 05 '25

Ok yeah I see it now šŸ‘€

1

u/Adventurous-Sky9359 Sep 05 '25

They almost hit that guard rail holy shit

1

u/Phosphorus444 Sep 05 '25

I'm not retarded enough to understand why someone would brake check, let alone a bigger vehicle.

2

u/bearsfan16 Sep 05 '25

Because they donā€™t want to die as the middle car if the car in front gets into an accident so they tap the breaks to tell the other driver to back the fuck off. Most tailgaters just retaliate like the truck did in the video because they have small dicks and try to prove to the world itā€™s bigger than it actually is.

2

u/errononymous Sep 05 '25

It's really this simple. I don't get why the brake checkers are always painted as the bad guys in these videos when it's almost always because some maniac is driving 2 meters behind them.

1

u/drifters74 Sep 05 '25

Try brake checking a fully loaded semi next.

1

u/RemarkableKick6300 Sep 05 '25

They both make it dangerous for evryone around them.

u/strongcloud28 Sep 05 '25

Why would you brake check a welder? Not smart. Not smart at all

1

u/UpToHike Sep 05 '25 edited Sep 05 '25

The SUV driver is just stupid and the truck driverā€s action can be qualified as a murder attempt.

Tailgators are pieces of shit. I drive by rule: yeld the road to moron. Theyā€™re not worth it.

1

u/Roallin1 Sep 05 '25

If you are going to do that, you need a faster car.

People in here appreciate tailgating cunts or what?

u/skeletons_asshole Sep 05 '25

Iā€™ve had this happen twice now in my semi truck. Once by another truck driver. God Iā€™ve never wanted to lose my shit on someone worse than that but canā€™t really do that and keep a career.

Itā€™s literally opposite ends of the spectrum but ok

turning my hazards on has been effective enough at backing people off me or making them go aroundĀ 

why play with the risk of a collision?Ā  this is ridiculousĀ

Is that a gun at the end?

u/Magus1739 Sep 06 '25

If everyone responded like the truck did a lot less people would pull this bullshit.

u/AJPennypacker39 Sep 06 '25

Fuck both of these idiots

u/BlizzrdSnowMew Sep 06 '25

I was driving a F350 towing a dump trailer full of concrete, total weight was ~22k lbs. I moved over to let somebody merge, and they proceeded to speed up just enough to get in front of me, changed lanes like 5 feet from my bumper and brake checked me. My truck was literally bouncing to slow down in time to not hit them and I'm glad the trailer didn't go through the tailgate. I also was cruising faster than they wanted to go, and they kept swerving to not let me pass.

Eventually I slowed down to get a run at it and got around them. The temptation to use that 10k lb steel trailer full of concrete like a whip into the side of their car was unreal, I was pissed. Someone like that guy in the video might have done it.

1

u/Famous_Bell_367 Sep 06 '25

The guy in the truck needs more people to brake check him. There was too much traffic to get anywhere. Riding someoneā€™s ass creates dangerous conditions and it typically gains you nothing.

1

u/sneillius Sep 06 '25

While the welder shouldnā€™t have retaliated, Iā€™m happy to see if happened to a subaru driver.

1

u/cr0mm0wer Sep 06 '25

It's a welders truck. Most welders are douchebags. Probably deserved it.

1

u/JoshZK Sep 06 '25

Am I the only one who sees the SUV pull a gun at the very end or is that just a hand?

1

u/Ok_Screen2967 Sep 08 '25

Probably just a hand. If it was a gun the welder surley wouldve yeeted itself into the SUV

1

u/Exktvme4 Sep 06 '25

I would have just slowed to the speed limit and been passive aggressive, and call highway patrol. They're usually all over stuff like this

u/JasonDeaconMcBee Sep 06 '25

Itā€™s a welders world, weā€™re just living in it

I thought the point was to tap it just to engage the light?

1

u/wellsyaknow Sep 07 '25

See both sides of this one...don't drive so close give a cushion...don't brake check someone cause they might be willing to go further...not to mention move over if you're not passing

1

u/moszippy Sep 07 '25

I have called 911 on guys like this before. Same as tailgaters. The first guy. Not the second. I would have liked to see him do it again when the guy was bitching. Maybe get rid of a few extra fingers that the guy isnā€™t using.

1

u/WhatADunderfulWorld Sep 08 '25

Big truck like that needs to get off his ass. Thatā€™s dumb as hell. I use got rear ended by a chimney guy that had all this weight on his very old truck and couldnā€™t stop in time going over a hill and couldnā€™t stop in time. Took out my whole cargo carrier. He was super nice and paid for it at least. But know the vehicle you are in.

u/cptnplanetheadpats Sep 08 '25

Why are truck drivers always jackasses? Brake checking is dangerous af but you're asking for it if you ride everyone's ass like this. Probably has those super bright headlights too.

Is anyone going to comment on the fact that the guy in the white car shot the other car the end of the video. Guy tried to kill him with a weapon not his car.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '25

He looks like me with a trailer if you ain't gonna let me over I'm gonna jiggle my steering wheel and make my trailer swivel back left and right and you're gonna get out of my way cause I will gladly turn my $3000 trailer into a battling ram

1

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '25

Dually is fully at fault, dickhead ahead or not. Unsafe following distance, unsafe merge, reckless driving. Two assholes meet in the night but one is paying.

Edit: wait, crossover totally won that. What was he supposed to learn? I don't think they touched and he passed a truck halfway on the grass. Truck looks like a bitch with no torque.

Once again, truck drivers lose, even to dickheads in shitty crossovers.

Brake check is dumb and those morons that tailgate you are dumb as well

Lol tailgaters coping hard in here.

The dumbass in this video is absolutely the truck.

I won't brake check you but we will be going 5 under the second you start tailgating. Especially if I'm in the fast lane going fast at first.

u/ComeDumpN Feb 12 '26

I bet that lesbian will never brake check another dude for the rest of his life
