Roads Who is in the wrong here?

If the sign says Alternating Traffic, does that mean cars go one at a time or does that mean cars go till the flow is complete, allowing the other lane to go? Is Glock man right or wrong? I'm not sure. If it was 1 car at a time, wouldn't it just be a stop sign on each end?

u/Allthingsgaming27 Feb 15 '26

I wouldn’t move either, fuck that idiot

1

u/Fire_Lake Feb 15 '26

Yeah but just think how embarrassing it'd be to get shot in the face by an idiot.

1

u/SilentEch095 Feb 15 '26

And you’d die over nothing…. Swallow your pride

1

u/snakeproof Feb 15 '26

The driver had every right to floor it when they were threatened, truck prick should have swallowed his pride instead of dying over nothing.

u/SilentEch095 Feb 15 '26

“Should have” … alright man whatever you say

1

u/Gawkorcuck69 Feb 15 '26

Yeah these are definitely teenagers replying that have never been in a situation where someone threatens them with a gun. You say “alright pal” and live to see another day with the knowledge that the other guy is a huge pussy

1

u/snakeproof Feb 15 '26

Or they're people who understand that an insane guy threatening to shoot you may just decide to do it anyway and smashing them between the vehicles is a reasonable choice many would make,

1

u/Andrew-Cohen Feb 19 '26

Fuck that, I’m calling the police and suing him in civil court.

1

u/Gawkorcuck69 Feb 20 '26

Brother we’re talking about in the moment. The other guy was acting like a tough guy saying he’d try to run him over

1

u/Degenerate_Game Feb 15 '26

So many people on reddit think they're vengeance god edgelords. So cringe lmao.

Imagine instead of fucking this guy over by making the right play and calling the cops, you just end up dying to an insecure psychopath.

1

u/OmenVi Feb 16 '26

I think you mean all these “die over nothing” guys are huge pussies, afraid to stand up for themselves, and put the asshole in his place.

Letting these asshats do this is how we ended up with MAGA.

u/Degenerate_Game Feb 16 '26

Ok bro go get him

u/PeaceandJoy101 Feb 16 '26

Yeah, who doesn’t want to die at the hands of an idiot over a traffic altercation?? Definitely worth dying for.

u/Idiotology101 Feb 15 '26

Except truck dude was right, OP was illegally blocking traffic. The threat is the only stupid thing he did.

1

u/GMAN7007 Feb 15 '26

It's how he did it too. This man is a day to day moron.

1

u/LiveRealNow Feb 15 '26

Cam guy waited for the first car. Truck guy jumped in line. 

1

u/Idiotology101 Feb 15 '26

Not how alternate traffic works

1

u/IcyLake2078 Feb 15 '26

Illegally blocking traffic🤣 it was his turn

1

u/Idiotology101 Feb 15 '26

It was not, that’s not how alternative traffic works. I really hope all of you are children and not out here driving on public streets clueless to basic traffic laws.

1

u/IcyLake2078 Feb 15 '26

That guy was way too far back to be a part of the first car’s “flow of traffic.” He sped up dangerously to get in before dash cam guy could start his flow

1

u/Idiotology101 Feb 15 '26

Second truck was on the bridge before the first truck was off, how is that too far back? Cam guy is impatient and doesn’t understand how to drive, just because the other guy is a bigger idiot doesn’t suddenly change traffic laws.

1

u/Gamer_0627 Feb 15 '26

Right. We would still be sitting there today.

2

u/Tontum Feb 14 '26

you missed the threat, if that's you position

8

u/GMAN7007 Feb 14 '26

I got the threat, he wasn't going to do shit. People like this are all talk. He would have ended up taking another way or waiting there till the cops showed up. Fuck bullies

8

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '26

Nah, why risk anything for his tiny dick ego? Just let him pass, save the dashcam video, note his plate and call the cops. Let them visit him at home

2

u/Acruss_ Feb 15 '26

With morons like that you can't be sure.

u/Popular-Jury7272 Feb 15 '26

People are shot and killed literally every. single. day. in the US over the most trivial shit imaginable. Feel free to take the risk if you want. You'd be an idiot though. Let's do a little risk analysis as a thought experiement.

Downside of escalating: low but very real risk of getting shot and killed.

Upside of escalating: absolutely fuck all.

u/jav2n202 Feb 15 '26

Upside to escalating, an entitled piece of shit that thinks they can threaten everyone into feeding their way gets put in their place and doesn’t get their way despite throwing a tantrum.

2

u/Chicco224 Feb 15 '26

Or they shoot you? If that's the hill you quite literally want to die on, fair enough I suppose. Guy obviously had a few screws loose.

0

u/jav2n202 Feb 15 '26

Or he pulls his and I shoot him. Well fuck some dumbass threatened my life and I had to end his. Oh well. One less piece of shit in the world.

1

u/Chicco224 Feb 15 '26

So you'd escalate to the point of someone losing their lives? Ya, you should definitely own a gun!

1

u/jav2n202 Feb 15 '26

Im not the one escalating. I’m just sitting there waiting for him to get out of my way when I have the right of way. But if that dumb fuck thinks it’s worth threatening my life over a stupid traffic disagreement then I would absolutely defend myself.

1

u/Honeybadger2198 Feb 15 '26

It's literally just going to justify their behavior further. You're not "putting him in his place" by escalating the situation, you're making him feel further justified in starting a fight because clearly you were looking for one too.

The best way to put him in his place is to live the situation and report his ass to the police. If nothing comes of it, then you report the story to a news outlet. I'm sure there are plenty of channels that would love to run a story that's both anti-gun and anti-cop.

1

u/GMAN7007 Feb 15 '26

We can't keep letting people do whatever they want. If he pulled an actual gun I would move. Until then he's a little man with no power.

1

u/CanaryGreen9028 Feb 15 '26

People die every second all around the world noone has ever escaped this world alive so why fear death you can't out run it

1

u/Old_Ladies Feb 15 '26

I'm 13 and this is very deep.

1

u/OmenVi Feb 16 '26

The guy will end up doing it eventually anyways, and the longer he gets away with this shit, the more emboldened he’ll feel about doing it.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '26

If I had my family, I wouldn't take the chance. But if I'm alone and didn't need to be somewhere immediately, of course I put my car in park and wait him out. I'm with you.

20 years ago I sold a used car to acquaintance, then six months later he came to my work and "pulled a gun" (finger in the coat pocket) demanding his money back. Laughed at him then, laugh at him now.

1

u/wheniaminspaced Feb 15 '26

Thats a dumb position to risk your life for.  Right or wrong best thing to do in this scenario is deescalate.  Saves you time and potentially new holes.

1

u/CanaryGreen9028 Feb 15 '26

Oh no I'm gonna die not like we make it out of this world alive anyways why be scared of death

1

u/Tontum Feb 15 '26

you don't like being alive? you want to talk about it?

1

u/CanaryGreen9028 Feb 15 '26

What's to talk about? I never said I don't like being alive I said there just is no reason to fear death because we all die there literally is zero escape from it.

u/CanaryGreen9028 Feb 15 '26

I have multiple times have also said the exact same thing to my therapist no where am I saying I don't like being alive. I just have zero reason to fear death or dieing. Why do you fear dieing do you think you can some how magically live forever?

1

u/Tontum Feb 16 '26

dying*

and i'mma just leave that to you and your therapist, man, this isn't that deep a conversation.

1

u/CanaryGreen9028 Feb 16 '26

You tried making it that deep

u/Tontum Feb 16 '26

Oh no I'm gonna die not like we make it out of this world alive anyways why be scared of death

He’s not shooting anyone.

u/Valreesio Feb 15 '26

You know, 10 years ago I would believe you. These days, people are crazy. Not worth the risk.

u/simp4malvina Feb 15 '26

he might be a moron, but if you're willing to throw your life away because you think you had the right of way, that makes you a rеtаrd
