The main problem that caused this chain of events is the stupid car going so slow that a semi that wasn't even going the speed limit passed them. Car drivers, if you can't at least go the speed limit, just stay off the interstate. You're in the way. You caused multiple vehicles to move out of the lane they were supposed to drive in because you're too old and slow to be driving.
Hey Bill Hammer Lane Starkey, do you have an email address at which we could contact you regarding this video? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible? (i.e. via email) :) Cheers, Felix
Well he could have used the left passing lane if the semis in the middle lane ever moved over to the right lane that nobody is ever in. I drive the highway everyday for work and semis sit in the left and middle lanes driving the same speed blocking everyone. Many have to pass on the right because of it.
As a truck driver I can tell you that a day doesn’t go by that I don’t have a car shoot down a turn only lane and jump in front of me. Also, at lane merges, cars will continue to try passing me even when it means driving into the oncoming lane. People will do almost anything to not “get stuck” behind a truck.
Respect to the trucker for backing out of it, and putting space between him, and the mini van. Most truckers nowadays would've rode his ass two feet from his bumper just to try to get youtube likes. That would've made the trucker look dumber than the mini van driver.
I had one just like that about 3 months ago. On mine the idiot nearly stopped at the stop sign and then pulled out. Like how in the world can you not see a truck RIGHT THERE??? I was able to miss mine and make my delivery but it was close. If I had been in a semi there's no way I would have been able to slow as much as I did. There's a video of it on my page.
Why do you people get angry when a truck is passing the jackass who refuse to pass and move back over. Course if the we had quality law enforcement that actually enforced state traffic laws instead of harassing truck drivers with unconstitutional regulations.
I was in Ohio. They only have a lane restriction on the turnpike and in a handful of urban areas. I was out in the middle of nowhere when this occurred. No restriction.
Some states don’t allow semi’s in the left lane on highways more than 2 lanes wide. I’m not sure on this stretch of highway. Each state and section of highway could be different.
OK nerd. I still use the left to pass rather you like it or not. In 23 yrs not one ticket for doing so. Your law os retarded. And that van wouldn't have done that to me. I mover back over tonthe right faster than this dude and if he did that he would have been nailed. I've rammed 2 aholes like that already and totaled their vehicles out and both times the morons were issued tickets.
I want to believe he was only to secure in a different spot. I also want to believe a couple of straps would have saved him some embarrassment/a potential damage claim.
