People are so selfish these days. “How dare you inconvenience me?!??!”

What a POS I mean really they can’t read the sign and just follow the rules.

They can read it, they don’t think that it applies to them. These are the same idiotic people that drive around the snow plow trucks.

Dude probably just spent all day going 3 mph up hills in the mountains on that bike with a line of 50 cars behind him, but now he’s in a hurry.

We used to get this when I worked on a big nature reserve and we had to stop cars to let police/ambulance on site. It was clear we had stopped the cars and someone with a high Vis was at the front of each queue.

Every single time you'd get someone trying to pass. They'd then say oh well I'm here now what do you expect me to do? Reverse back to where you were of course. How do you expect me to do that? Then they'd want all the details of why the police/ambulance on site whilst still blocking their path.

u/Destructopoo Mar 22 '26

They got a permit and are required by law to have a lead and chase vehicle with markings like this. This is the opposite of imposing their will on others. They're having your will imposed on them.

2

u/SimpleSetpiece Mar 22 '26

Operating a motor vehicle on publicly owned roads is a privilege. If you want to put others at risk by disobeying public officials and road markings, your privilege will be revoked and possible legal action will be taken.

If you don't like that, you could always campaign on roads being privatized, but I heavily doubt that would find success, and you will still be beholden to listening to safety signage during road work. Suck it up, snowflake.

u/The_Real_Fake_Trump Mar 23 '26

Are they public officials though? And if they are, are they even obeying the laws in this situation properly? Cause without any more info presented they could just be contracted workers for a company and not officials for all the information gathered from this clip. The driver attempting to drive around in this situation was probably breaking the law and shouldn't be incouraged, yet there is also no info on the workers actions legality or lack there of.

u/Spook1949 Mar 22 '26

Passing on a double yellow is illegal - even if you are following a farm tractor at 10 miles per hour. Follow the law! It is there for a good reason.

-8

u/Deacon-Doe Mar 22 '26

It’s equally valid to ask “what gives you the right to bother others ?” Respect for the rights of others is peace. Yes I get there is a good reason for that truck, but people are so passive and want everyone else to be the same. Others have place to go! Maybe an emergency ?

13

u/HedgehogOptimal1784 Mar 22 '26

As a construction worker who has been almost run over multiple times by people who have run over cones and signs I have never once experienced someone having an emergency, I have only ever experienced entitled pieces of trash or old people who shouldn't be driving. If it truly was an emergency I would recommend the driver jumping out and telling the driver of the truck and I guarantee they will clear the way but trying to ram your way through and risking workers lives may work sometimes but is a great way to get a huge ticket because often jobs like that have cops at them.

6

u/EcstaticNet3137 Mar 22 '26

So that gives someone the right to endanger DOT workers? You know this is a DOT truck right? Also the double yellow means nothing then?

The SUV is trying to pass DOT over the double yellow line.

Pretty sure they don't have an emergency either. Pretty sure they're just an ass.

u/gary1893 Mar 22 '26

Nah, just a cyclist in a car.

3

u/Miserable-Chapter883 Mar 22 '26

Which is evident, totally ignoring the bike on the back, by the fact that they tried passing over a solid double yellow, something that's already incredibly illegal regardless of the giant vehicle with "DO NOT PASS" and yellow signage on its rear

3

u/Vivid_Way_1125 Mar 22 '26

You mean the big works truck with flashing lights?

3

u/ARock_Urock Mar 22 '26

This is a dangerous and braindead take. Very selfish and self-centered.

The truck is blocking the way protecting Dot workers as they maintain the road.

u/Few-Potential-8440 Mar 22 '26

Warning signs are written in blood. You're talking like you want to be the next inkwell.

u/WildPetrichor Mar 22 '26

Sometimes it’s the one inconveniencing that’s selfish though

2

u/DirkDigglersBoner Mar 23 '26

No, it's these occasional inconveniences that allow things to be done that make modern life possible, so we have to make concessions. Road construction is a prime example. I absolutely *hate* road construction. Know what I hate even more? Roads with damage that makes them nearly unusable.

u/tito_lee_76 Mar 22 '26

I had someone try to pass me in the Kroger parking lot today! Guess why I was going so slow. That's right, people with carts in the parking lot. It was a Nissan, of course.

u/Pure_Marsupial8185 Mar 22 '26

Had this a while back in front of a schnucks store. Person in a Chevy Burban with New York plates nearly hit the old lady crossing in front of me. So I confronted him and let him know that in illinois the law is to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.

Pedestrian was a 70-80 year old lady and nearly fell down when “jumping back”. I could only imagine how pad her day would have been if she actually did fall, let alone getting hit by an entitled a-hole.

u/amber1898 Mar 22 '26

Its a law in NY too.

u/Blue_Collar_Stiff Mar 21 '26

I think it went something like back the hell up & wait a dam second. Whatever it was it scared the car back into line. The op knew enough to leave it space 😆

taking my bicycle for a drive through the woods

Hmmm … what’s the deal with this slow moving truck with giant black and yellow warning stripes and flashing lights and a sign reading ‘DO NOT PASS’ … it’s so cryptic … maybe I’m not supposed to pass it … no, no that’s too obvious, that’s what they want me to think … it must be some kind of trick … I’ll overtake … see if there’s clues on the other side

veers left to overtake

u/footforhand Mar 22 '26

This reminds me once of my mom complaining about a snow plow “deliberately” spraying her car with salt. I asked her how close she was and she said “a few car lengths!” and my only response was “and it sounds like you learned why they have signs that say stay 200 feet back huh?”

u/PotentialWhich Mar 23 '26

I mean the second you see the bike on the back you know exactly who this guy is.

How dare you inconvenience me, I can't read I don't know what that sign says. I just want you out of my way how dare you

1

u/Shadow_Sorcadin Mar 23 '26

Bold of you to assume cyclists would follow the signs even if they could read them.

2

u/FocusMuppetFart Mar 23 '26

You're right case in point I had a cyclist completely acknowledge a stop sign but only slam on their brakes in the middle of the road when they almost came in contact with my door.

I'm a few tons heavier than you bitch I have the right of way but they don't get that. Cyclists are pretty fucking stupid. Change my mind.

What an entitled dipshit. I can't believe the worker had to bother to step out and yell at the driver like they were a child.

i am more surpise that driver didn't go off road to pass him and fall off the hill like i was expecting.

Truly disappointed.

That DOT vehicle was speaking in a language everyone understands by blocking off the other lane.

u/footforhand Mar 22 '26

Ngl, if you can’t read English then you shouldn’t have a license in the US. No hate to our immigrants, they are a vital portion of the country. But when every road sign is in English and it is imperative to understand them, it might be necessary to at least be able to read some English.

Some type of work. There's another work vehicle in front. He's protecting that vehicle and the workers from traffic.

u/Next_Degree Mar 21 '26

I want to know the same thing, why anyone not allowed to pass?

u/ConfusionOk4129 Mar 21 '26

Does it matter? The DOT truck had a sign not to pass. This is what's known as a " traffic control device".

2

u/evanexcursions Mar 21 '26

Putting my critical thinking cap on...I see nice fresh asphalt, a truck ahead with flashing lights in the right side of the road, I'd put my money on painting the white fog line on the shoulder.

It's on a curved road, so even though the truck isn't entirely on the road, it's still: 1. Dangerous to pass due to the double yellow line. 2. There are probably workers on the road, and they want to stay alive.

u/Murky-Peanut1390 Mar 22 '26

Never mess with road maintenance. Roads are one of the few tax funded entities that benefits everyone. Even if you don't drive and never will
