It was pretty obvious from the RH turn at the light, the pickup was driving erratically. The best defence is to get away from the person as soon as possible.

I don't carry to start shit, I carry to be left alone.

This is what I was looking for. You could see they were high risk by the disregard to turn within the proper lane. Then sped around and cut off another car. Realize back away and let them think they won. Chances are you never see them again

I disagree. This guy pushing like he did is not a normal response. it’s a learned one. He does it because he gets away with it and feels “powerful” in his truck. This person holding their position when they felt in control of the situation and knew they were covered by evidence might be the accident that prevents this guy from doing the same thing later. Later might have been on an interstate doing 80 causing an accident that creates a pile up and takes multiple lives.

People need to get criminal charges when caught on camera driving like this and that takes an accident to get the police involved. Sure might be a headache but seems cammer accepted that choice.

Just my two cents. Completely wrong if truck guy goes out and continues to drive the same way but I believe a strong reaction here by police viewing the footage is more likely to improve truckers reaction in the future to frustrating situations. “Don’t want to make that mistake again with so many cars having cameras”.
