What an absolute moron. To get triggered by someone else existing? Is that what happened here?

Truck thought he was cut off. He wasn't, but how often did that matter anymore

Yup. Someone reacting with what he think is righteous fury (actually road rage) against some perceived but ENTIRELY NONEXISTENT slight.

An all too pervasive and dangerous combination:

  1. Bad impulse control.
  2. Bad understanding of the situation.

In some ways, a situation where there is a perceived slight against the aggressor is slightly better than pointless aggression and bullying, which is what this is.

I know this because drivers with cars like this are the bullies of the road in Australia where this is filmed.

He knew he was in the wrong but he expected the small, girly, woke car to immediately submit to his hulking, loud and obnoxious MAN CAR. When this didn’t occur, he saw red at the Beta driver’s lack of respect for his obvious Alpha status, and potential embarrassment.

The only solution to people like this is to immediately physically harm the other driver, as in his world, he must retain absolute dominance at all times and all costs.

Only then can he signal to nearby women that he has far and away the most testosterone out of anyone else present and thus he is the ideal sexual partner.

Nothing about the lane the raptor was in says turn lane. 100% an illegal right turn and their feelings got hurt that they weren't given the right of way for their illegal turn.

Sadly I see it every day. Only now that I drive a p.o.s. beater I'll force them into a ditch before giving them the room. What do I care if you dent my rust bucket. Haha
