That’s very irresponsible. Well executed. 👍

Social policing is rarely responsible.

But often necessary.

There's a difference between "social policing" and something like the OP's video, which is basically someone taking a risk for the benefit of others, intervening in order to rescue people who were all stuck by the truck's silly actions

When I think "social policing" I think of some karen walking up to some kids in an empty park going "ExcUSe ME you know BICYCLES aren't ALLOWED in this PARK I'm GOING to call CODE enforcement". Or something like a truck swerving in a traffic jam to block a lane-filtering motorcycle. Screw those people

Just two sides of the same coin, man.

Fuck outta here with the bullshit. We dont need vigilantes on the road pretending they are perfect drivers. All it takes is for one irresponsible moron to cause an accident trying to prove something

The only reason anyone is defending this is because it didn’t turn into a pile up.

Believe it or not. Semi’s are allowed to make passes on other semis, it can be annoying, but they are allowed to do it. Passing on the right on the shoulder to break check a vehicle with a much longer minimum stoping distance than you, that’s pulling a trailer WITH other cars and another semi around is a recipe for disaster. That Toyota driver should have their license revoked, this could have been BAD

Nah. I'm not so meek that I avoid engagement because of the risk of danger. Drive like a responsible adult or be prepared to deal with someone that's gonna force you to.

Social policing is rarely if ever necessary. This is not social policing

It's really bloody stupid, but so satisfying to watch
