I'm a trucker and I've had this done to me a few times. These jerks should be arrested and charged to the fullest extent of the law. Lose their license for a couple years and jump through hoops to regain the PRIVILEGE to operate a motor vehicle Just like they do with drivers convicted of DWI. Then they can enjoy riding a bicycle to work or take the bus.
I don’t understand how can people do that! Is not a regular vehicle, is a semi that can literally turn your vehicle into scrap! I have so much respect for all truck drivers, specially after I almost got run over for trying to “win” at an intersection. After that I learn my lesson and respect you all very much for your job and for doing your best when stupid people like me disrespect you in anyway.
The semi was passing in the left and moved right when he cleared the slower traffic, the jeep is way out of line. Also lets talk about how stupid it is to play chicken with a semi
The driver of that jeep needs to go to prison. The charges can range from, Reckless driving, Reckless endangerment, Risking a catastrophe, Felony road rage, and insurance fraud.
@@JeepTJWheelin I'm a big Jeep fan myself, I owned a 1983 Jeep CJ-5 and it was the last year they made them. Some of the parts wore out prematurely and the body rusted badly, but I had a fiberglass body put on it and I loved that Jeep.
@@Counselor77 The Jeep pre Wrangler and 2 dr Wranglers ('41 - '06) are the best vehicles ever made imo. I couldn't imagine driving anything else. O|||||||O 🇺🇸Only in a 2 dr🇺🇸 '41 - '06
@Speed Buggy First off, my favorite Jeeps are the TJ and the CJ-7. I was never a fan of the YJ's, but outside of the square headlights, they are good Jeeps. I'll take a YJ over any '07 - current heep.
I give the Trucker a lot of credit for not giving that Jeep a little tap. Or he could have Cb’d a few friends... Since they are bigger than me, I stay out of their way. I would like all of us on the road to get to our destination in one piece. I’ve always said Truckers Rock! Think of whatever you buy, it gets to the store via a Trucker. Appreciate all they do and continue to do especially during this pandemic!
Gracie !! well said. people don't realize, that you cannot just walk down the path, to the outhouse, and do your natures call. IF YOU GOT IT, A TRUCK AND TRAIN, BROUGHT IT.....stupid people, 'nother thing...milk comes from a cow...
I imagine that before passing the videographer, this victim trucker probably "cut off" the Jeep driver, in order to pass the videographer's truck! It's just a guess, but I see it happen time after time after time. I travel a several miles of interstate almost every day, with two miles of it, a long, steep, 3 lane mountain climbing road! Each time I ascend this mountain, I find all three lanes blocked by tractor trailers, in spite of the large signs reading: "No Tractor Trailers in Left Lane!" The local small town cops ignore these violations, as well as both the County and State Law Enforcement, as they're profiling travelers seeking to stop those with large sums of cash on board! They of course "confiscate" all large sums of cash, because it "MIGHT BE" meant to purchase illicit drugs, several states south of here! I occasionally see southbound cars pulled over, being searched by a Cop from a dead city of only a few hundred people.
As a local heavy haul driver in Atlanta I deal with this pretty often, usually it’s someone cutting me off or pulling out in front of me, I give them the benefit of the doubt and back out of it maybe taps some breaks it’s all apart of traffic , but if you cut me off intentionally and start hitting breaks especially like this guy you can kiss your ass good bye son you going for a fk’n ride , won’t be the first and definitely not the last , dash cam is rollin and so am I
Had a car do that to me in my truck in Atlanta. Called the cops, thankfully they actually showed up. Gave them the dash cam footage and they cited the driver for reckless driving
All three of the trucks should have put that jeep in the "cradle" and took him wherever they were going. Then whoever it was will learn to leave the truck's alone.
When I was a kid, I was traveling with Mom and sisters in hours of long heavy traffic for a number of trips we had to make - just us girls. Dad did heavy construction work and didn't like us in heavy traffic like that without a man, but he couldn't go for his work schedule., but we has a CB because of his work. One trip we shared some info with some truckers around us, and they really appreciated it, and when I told them the kind of work Dad did was why we helped them, they put us in the saddle out of respect for him. miles on down the rode, a guy came in off one of those axis roads and came right into our slot, Mom had a little trouble making the lateral move into the other lane to get out of the way of our car being clobbered broadside, they acted like they didn't even see. The truckers told us to get behind them for a few minutes and they put him in the cradle and edged him right off to the bar ditch. It was level and he was safe, they didn't try to wreck him - just gave him something to think about. They put us back in the cradle, but they never tried to make any move on us or anything, they just felt like Dad had taught us to respect and help them, and they treated us like they wanted their own family treated if they were on the highway without their own Man around to help them if anything happened. Dad was so proud of all his bragging about Truck Drivers and of how we behaved towards them, and how well they looked out for us for his sake, even though they'd never met him. He loved it. We did, too. Right at 50 yrs ago.
@@anonimous2451 Thank you. It was a good thing to experience, all of us felt like, we did a good thing and helped someone else, God was pleased and He returned it through those Truckers.
Only 1 problem with that solution.......unless the truckers are trying to KILL everyone in the Jeep, whether or not we personally wish it or not< , there IS an EMERGENCY LANE that almost ANY CAR can out accelerate a truck in. Therefore, If the trucker tries to stop the pass, he risks killing all occupants. If the vehicle is not being chased by a COP, then leave them alone and go about your day. Personally, I HAVE passed trucks in the emergency lane cause they were being huge pricks on the highway. A truck(er) should damn well know they back up a 2 mile line of faster moving vehicles cause they wanna pass another big rig doing 2 mph less than them. Taking 10 miles to pass another truck is just IRRESPONSIBLE Driving and STUPID. Be patient, pull over and SHARE the road instead of HOGGING the road. Seen this so many times on I-81 in Va and nearly killed by one asshole that wanted to do 80 in a big rig and couldn't STOP in time for a road emergency. Also on I-95 going thru NC and SC cause it is only 2 lanes there. Time for some Fiscal Funding to widen them roads like Ga and Va have done.
i couldnt be a truck driver, my first instinct when the jeep crossed over was to tell the driver to hit the gas. id be picking a few jeeps out of the mudflaps.
Nuh, any insurance company that saw that video would immediately drop that loser. A reckless driving citation gets you cancelled by most reputable insurance carriers. On secondary carriers, their rates instantly quadruple. If they choose to drive without insurance, they cannot renew their vehicle registration Without both, they're getting picked up and locked up.
I've run into alot of people who just don't care and drive to work without a license and if they get sent to jail its no problem for them cause their so used to it, and just don't give a shit. Local speed (anfitamine) addicts right here in Indiana.
I had a dude in a Silverado get pissed at me because he thought I was intentionally blocking him from merging onto the interstate. He couldn’t see the car beside me riding about 1/2 up my trailer. The car stayed beside me because I am pretty sure he couldn’t see the ‘Rado trying to merge on the interstate. The idiot merging actually rode beside me for about 1/2 mile in the emergency lane before accelerating and passing me. He then had the nerve to brake check me several times and slow to about 30 mph. I am sure a lot of my fellow drivers are familiar with the area of I-75 S around Perry, GA and just how much time Georgia State Patrol spends sitting on bridges looking for unbelted drivers then calls ahead to awaiting troopers with the vehicle description on who to pull over. Lucky for me, there was one on a bridge ahead of me, doing just that! He saw the entire episode take place. Needless to say, the little truck was pulled over and I hope he got his butt handed to him for being so stupid.
So... he was so upset about the trucker taking too long to move over... that he wasted everyone's time and became a hazard. Basically he had to rush and get in front so he could proceed to slow down. Some logic right there
All trucks should have video cameras for their own protection. Minding my own business one day cruising along with a 32 ft trailer & pickup I saw a guy watching for people to turn on their signal then he would zip up beside them flashing lights & blowing horn to prevent them from changing lanes. He did this several times. When it came time for me to change lanes I got ahead of him a few car lengths I signaled as required and quickly got over the line before he could get beside me. Watching him in my mirror go off onto the dirt, priceless !
+B Ann I was getting tailgated in my old '69 elCamino in bumper to bumper traffic running 60 (Limit was 55.) coming up Bragg BLVD towards Spring Lake by a Ford Explorer. Nice thing abut the way it was geared. It wouldn't shift for 3nd until 80 if I held it down. I dropped it in 2nd. All he/she saw was the Trailer hitch on the back and the Tank Trail beside the road.
Definitely agree with you! I'm new in the reducing business. I drive a company truck and use my old galaxy S4 as a dashcam. It feels nice knowing that if some idiot chose to slam on his brakes on front of me, I have the ability to run him over and get away with it. Also, you taught that idiot a lesson. Good job!
+Tami Potirala man I hope you never will end up in an accident because of idiots like these drivers you are describing. I really hate this drivers my self. every time I drive a legal speed with a lot of free space in front off me, what do they decide... yeah to cut me with 1 meter. fuck them....
Having some awareness of the mass of the truck and the laws of physics, I pay great respect to these vehicles in motion and give them plenty of room. The driver of the Jeep was the easily distracted kid who paid no attention in science class.
+basspig Russia is completely different than the US, they still look out for truck drivers and treat douchebag drivers how they should be treated. In the US, the douchebags and criminals can fuck with you all day long as they stay just inside the letter of the law.
You need to look at it like there may be innocent passengers, including children, in the car. And is ramming him really better than what he did? Would that make you feel manly? He was wrong but the attitude it's okay to ram him is criminal intent. And fucking stupid. And don't say it doesn't happen. I've seen the videos!
+Barb Wallace True. In most cases, the idiot drives solo, but consider that sometimes ramming them can cause them to veer into someone else's lane. It's just too risky. Besides, if they didn't hit you, all you lost was a few seconds and a few ounces of fuel that you will burn to make up for braking hard. But in an 18-wheeler, the stakes are higher when someone cuts you off. Not long ago, on a state highway up here, a 16 year old girl cut off a gasolene tanker on a state highway, causing the tanker to flip on a bridge and explode. The bridge had to be replaced at taxpayer's expense. The kid did face arrest, but not much happened. The truck driver narrowly escaped death.
I have a cam in my truck: "Well officer, you see here in the video, he break checked me after first cutting me off so that's why he is smeared all over the road and his jeep is in shambles."
WifeBTR123 nope, but people who zip around in their four wheelers and act as if they think a truck can and should yield to them just because they are faster are a bigger problem.
+WifeBTR123 got a question for you what did you eat drink or clothes did you wear today? Those truck drivers had those items on the truck at one time or another less you do without the "thanks". Which I believe there are
Older driver here - husband and I drive from the East Coast to Colorado several times a year to see kids ( love it out there!). I have a lot of friends who won’t drive the interstates anymore because they’re afraid of all the trucks. I tell them that the trucks are the last things they need to worry about, but it’s probably good that they’re not getting out there, because the truckers are scared of them!
Yep...Have a couple semis pass...one in front of the jeep, one beside him, then slow down. But instead of beating the crap out of him...have one call the highway patrol and play the video. Then video the jeep being towed.
my husband drives truck and he has watched people get beat down just as you described ..truckers are trying to earn a living the same as everyone else...with out trucks america and any other country for that matter just stops ...i saw a sticker once that said "if you got it a trucker brought it "...i'm glad this driver was on his game ...
They count on the fact that truck drivers are more conscientious drivers than they are. It gives them the feeling of being a man for just a moment, of being in control of _something_ , a feeling which they can’t get in any other area of their life.
Truckers are often victims of insurance fraud. People go in front of them and brake to try to make it seem like its their fault. All truckers (and probably all drivers) need dashcams for this reason.
*Would it be alright with you Mr.Gjoko Sikoski to use this clip in an educational video* about accidents and road safety on my main channel DCtv? Credit,and name on the screen, as always will be provided. Look forward to your response.
We just seen the end of the video. What happened that lead up to this? I have been driven off the road by a semi driver while I was in the left lane. Had semis run red lights and almost hit me 2 times.
Angry or not this behavior is all to common involving semi's. It's easy to blame a truck driver for the stupidity of others on the road. God bless dash cams. Everyone stay safe over the road.
Dead Set Keith, I reckon most Aussies aren't into playing silly buggers with a semi. It's a bit like the chook fetching the axe for the cockie to have it head cut off
I’ve seen truck drivers take 10 miles side by side with no intention to let anyone pass. A little game the young and stupid MFs play. I’ve passed on the shoulder at least 3 times because the dickhead operators think it’s funny to monitor the speed of everyone else. Werner trucks only have signage on the drivers door. When they break the law by blocking lanes they stay in the left lane so the information can’t be reported. Their drive- safe hotline for reporting bad driving has a Maxi Pad wearing clown who’s easily entertained by talking smack on the phone. When you show up at their office they sound different from when they insulted you on the phone. So hello for me.
18 wheels had to re-enter b1 as soon as he had the chance but he chose to move on b2 for another period. Jeep was also wrong but was challenged. On that highway 18 wheels can move on which lane do they want?
People disrespect tractor trailers. They drive hours and hours to deliver food and other products and shit like this happens?! If there's a tractor trailer in front of you and there is no one in the lane next to it, then just go around the truck and mind your own business, don't just disrespect those truck drivers. It's that simple.
I see you posted this 5 years ago. You're so right, truckers deliver food and everything else, and people don't treat them with the respect they deserve. Now that Covid has hit, the shelves are half empty because they don't have enough truck drivers. Maybe people will start giving truckers the respect they so deserve? Those truckers were all driving perfectly in the video, and the one gave notice he was moving over with his blinker. Then he made a smooth transition. He was very safe. I'm really confused as to why the Jeep started messing with him?
The way I figure it the highway is basically a truck driver's office. Whenever there's a truck nearby I try to give them as much room as I possibly can because A) They're the professional drivers, not me, B) They get enough crap from idiots like that jeep, and C) The worst case scenario is I end up dead and he has to do some paperwork. None of those lead me to believe hassling truck drivers is justified or wise. EVER.
i help out my fellow drivers going home on my puny little car. XD kinda act like their own pilot car following them for a while. of course )_) no, i know better to not get too close. i like seeing in front of me. Any other trucker reading this. Thank you for your service, dedication, and all you do out there! Drive safe!
That’s less common than you think. When you’re out there on a strip of 100+ miles, passing someone at 5mph makes the difference, usually that slower truck doesn’t understand how to maintain one speed. It’s more common for cars to pass slower than trucks, and then get right in front of you.
I would honestly like to know why trucks wait until the last minute to pull out in front a car and then go a1/4 of a mile faster than the truck they are passing taking 10 minutes to pass. If trucks went the speed limit - 55 in CA - you all would not have this problem.
And the road belongs to everybody.because you always gotta be in a big dambed hurry to get no where important is not my fault.and truckers pass at those speed because that's where their employers set the speed limit at and even they can catch and pass a truck.learn to have some patience before some chipping has to scrape your rotten carcass off an o erpass cuz you got too pissed and fucked up while following a big truck passing another truck,the drivers of which are just trying to do their jobs while having g to deal with immature drivers such as yourself.if you don't like getting caught behind trucks,then leave earlier in the day
there so in a hurry that they have to tailgate you BUT they have time for that bullshit. What most people don't understand is that most truck;s not all have goveners that limit how fast they go
they feel they are out of control....they need to control everybody...they are not in a hurry at all...it's all about control..if someone really is in a hurry they would speed up as soon as possible
I've also been around some pretty bad truck drivers, I've had my car damaged by exploded truck tires (never does the trucker stop) and from my experience working shipping at a steel mill, a good portion can't speak English, like they speak another language can't speak English. I respect them, I try to give them room when merge over and I don't get to upset if they go slow. it's possible the driver of the jeep wanted to start trouble but we don't know what happened before this, the truck driver could have cut the jeep off or perhaps was lollygagging in the left lane.
depending on where the tire was blown out and weight of truck, etc. sometimes they cannot feel the tire has been blown out for miles. So i have heard anyways
Jeremy McAdams so I've been told, though when the car behind you goes all over the road, flashes its lights and blasts the horn before pulling over... you'd think they would stop. last time I had to get a new headlight assembly because a big ole chunk of rubber and band came off a truck and bounced up into my car :/ $320 that cost me.
The problem is, there are to many barmpots who think that all people who put better clothes on after work, are simple-minded. So the dumbest bank clerk who, amongst others, cleans the trash cans considers himself superior to a bloke who rides his own ( and paid) big rig.
That's been done to me so many.many times in thirty years of driving truck. I retired last year, and two days before I did, a twit did this to me again. So I thought, what the hell, he couldn't believe it when I didn't slow down he got real scared. Hey, after thirty years and retiring in two days, bad timing on their part and I owed it to myself.
My last day of truck driving, I was literally a mile away from the last exit off the interstate to the terminal. A car started messing with me, trying to brake check me on the fairly steep incline. The first time he did it, I slowed down. The second time, I just pushed him up the hill, off the ramp, and went on my way. Never heard a thing about it.
Yes very upsetting but hate it when trucks do the pass at .5 mph faster than the truck they are passing and it takes many minutes to pass on damn truck. Even you guys seem upset at the operation as form other vids here. of trucks passing others doing it on the shoulder.
As an aspiring trucker(just got my permit). This is the type of stuff that scares me. Do people not understand that these types of vehicles are a very different beast. Brakes will fail once they reach a certain temp, an emergency maneuver in response to that type of behavior can end lives, and most importantly these trucks are heavy and will crush anything in its path without effort. Seriously people THINK!
rust8infinite I do agree with you, to a point. Yes, brakes will fail once they reach a certain temperature but not in a situation like this. When you get brake failure is usually hauling a heavy load down a decent hill riding your brakes. The roots is flat here. Even slamming on your brakes isn't going to cause them to heat up enough to fail just due to temperature. How I know is I've been driving for several years already and I am also a certified driving instructor for tractor trailers. For the most part you are right though.
ok rust , lets for arguments sake admit that truck drivers are the worst human beings on the planet . there . you got your way . having said that who in their right mind would break check 100,000 pounds of metal ?
Rust8,drove one in 57 and part of 58, doctor advised me to find a job where I did not sit so much. You find people that don’t realize the weight of a truck but then a trucker sees some sights. I saw everything from naked drivers to couples in foreplay,people trading blows in actual fights and dogs sitting in the drivers lap.If it happens truckers have seen it.
What we don't know is whether this truck driver cut off that jeep first? Trucks are constantly cutting off left lane vehicles because they want to pass a slower truck in front of them. They cut you off make you slam on the brakes (sometimes almost driving you off the shoulder) and then you have to wait several minutes to pass the truck they are passing that you would have done in 10 seconds. I'm not saying big rig driving is easy, (I've driven bigger trucks shy of big rigs and know its not), and I know it's very helpful when fellow traffic helps them out, but it would be nice if they gave the same courtesy they expect on the road to the smaller, faster vehicles! I have driven across the country more than 15 times each way, I know what I am talking about! This Jeep driver seems to have a beef with the truck....and it very likely occurred before they made it in front of this camera. My guess, that truck previously cut the Jeep off!
I always always allow ample room for truck drivers and business vehicles truckers bring us our goods cable companies install our phones tv etc., the post man delivers our mail and so on and so forth also I will yield slow down when I see a turn signal when I see someone wanting to merge in our out so many folks don’t and it’s frustrating just let them in or out so it slows you down for a few seconds the main thing is it keeps everyone safe it’s a no brainer
These jerks don't appreciate you truckers. You are the guys who bring us our needs. They spoil it for us who really love and appreciate you. But I hope you guys know there are good people like me who can't stand these dirtbags for what they do to you. Thank you all for the hours you put in and hope your rides are safe and happy ones.
Don't kid yourself pal.ive seen truck drivers do exactly the same thing to other truckers.it all comes down to no respect and everybody in the biggest hurry they can put themselves in.and I'm a truck driver
truckers truck because they're too dumb to find another profession. they pull out in front of you going 30mph slower and then are annoyed when you're upset with them. f truckers.
I'm all for truckers as a rule but a few years ago I-40 through Tennessee had a reputation for truckers going side by side for miles on end. I would take pictures of them and email them to the highway patrol along with the date, time, truck numbers and tag numbers, location, etc. And then I would call their owners and file complaints.
the jeep driver doesn't realize the semi had to pass the other slower semi before he could get over. nothing personal, until.. please give semi drivers ample room and predictable signaling.. it's rewarding getting 4way flashed.
I personally have just gone ahead and hit people that have done that to me. Its called improper stopping. People think that if you hit them in the rear that its automatically your fault. That's untrue. I have rammed four people while driving an 18 wheeler that did the very same thing this guy did. All four times their insurance paid me and in one case the lady was ticketed on top of that.
Nope. not if it was an accident that was the jeep drivers fault. If he cut the semi driver off close enough that he couldn't see it it would be the jeep drivers fault
What's the point of this behaviour? The Jeep driver puts not only his/her own life, but also the lives of others in danger. Sometimes I get the feeling that these people want to die.
Jake Holm I had a Fiat pull this with me one day. The difference was that I was in the left lane anticipating the end of an express toll way in less than 1 mile and there was literally no other traffic. What really irritated me is that the little shithead got off the highway at the exit before mine. (Right lane exit, btw. He didn't even need the left lane.) ~78,000 lbs vs ~2,400 lbs... As much as you want to just run their ass over, you don't want to kill anyone.
Oh the truck is definetly at max load. You can tell by the position of the rear trailer wheels. The heavier the load, the farther to the rear the trailer wheels will be to balance the weight.
msgsgt It's actually the other way around....the tandems slide towards the tractor to move weight towards the front of the trailer. Most states have a bridge law that prevents you from running near Max with your wheels all the way back. Generally, anything close to 80k is more towards the middle, but honestly, it's pretty hard to tell unless you're the one pulling it. Just thought id throw that in... Also, IDK what happened here, but my guess is...the Jeep got angry that a big truck passing other big trucks clogged up the passing lane that he wanted to fly down the highway in, and he got pissed. Sadly, Its not uncommon.....2¢ from a Professional driver....🤗
I drive a 55,000 pound crane truck for a living, and also a frigging Prius for personal transport, (I enjoy the contrast of the Prius at the end of my work day, 50 + MPG don't hurt either) so I see both sides of the coin. Twice this weekend, in heavy snow on a slick highway, I was treated right by truckers, in passing situations. They were probably surprised to see a Prius driver flash my lights in gratitude, as we (Prius drivers) are supposed to be totally clueless in general, but like I said I can see their side of things also.
I'm curious why the car with the camera stayed so long behind that first truck then changed lanes after the second truck and the jeep went past, did they know something was gonna happen.
Jeep buddy thinks how dare that semi use the (passing lane) to get by a slower semi and here I am a left lane bandit speeding and driving in the passing lane like it's my own private lane and that big truck got infront of me, so he needs brake checking because I am a moron and have a death wish.
On that roadway, trucks are only allowed in the right lane. This is a common problem here in Indy. Trucks are fined left and right for blocking the left lanes.
The truck was using the passing lane to pass the other truck and then returned to the right. The Jeep then did the same but proceeded to block the truck from passing. If I were the truck driver I would be concerned that the guy was setting me up for a hijacking.
DashCam Videos Yeah, still doesn't mean he should brake check and not only endanger his own life but the life of EVERY vehicle close by behind him. That jeep is a menace, not the truck driver
+George Adams 5 years? Hell, I'd prefer to see him never get his license back. He clearly has demonstrated that he cannot operate a motor vehicle safely.
steve var I wasn't referring to this driver in particular. I meant that if everyone had to drive a truck for one year OTR they would see things differently and maybe, just maybe the roads would get a lot safe. But I highly doubt it would make a difference because as much as I hate the way four wheelers drive, it pretty obvious we have enough retards already in the trucking industry and we don't need anymore. Sorry you thought I meant otherwise.
Why are the semis always in the passing lane- I always thought that the right- slow lane was for slower trucks as most speed limits are 65 mph for trucks and 70 mph for car’s????
Bad Idea. What if there is an innocent child in the car? The child has no power to influence what their douchenugget parent do. Easy thing to say until one day you kill a child. Think about it. How would YOU like living with that knowledge for the rest of your days. I would not like it a bit. It haunts you day and night.......................Think about what you do, do not react emotionally without logic and common sense.
@@anonimous2451 maybe the Jeep driver shouldn't have been stupid enough to play a game of chicken with a truck that probably weighs 15 times what she does. That stupid Karen needs complete retraining on how to drive properly.
That was a pretty Quick overtake Semi on Semi I have seen overtakes during 10 minutes And than i can think your stressed But still no excuse for brake testing a other road user For sure not someone who is driving your Amazon order your food or whatever Without Truck drivers all shops are empty My respect for all truck drivers who has overcome this
Attempted hijacking ''i feared for my life so i took defensive measures and squished the threat'' Yeah I know ya can't do that but damn it, should be allowed.
yes you can, make sure you have a dash cam so in court you have proof that the other driver move in front of you and checked brakes so you couldn't stop
spudrubble The driver of the jeep could be charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon If the semi hit him because of this incident and depending on how many people in the truck, add 1 assault per person to the jeep drivers charges. It's a felony on the federal level. Prison time, not jail. This goes for ANY vehicle doing this out on the road to another. Report if you see this shit.
spudrubble why can’t you do that? If I was judge I could see how it was possible they were trying to get you to stop, and you wouldn’t know if they had a weapons to steal your load, and you had to run them off into a ditch and drove around 4-500 more miles to complete your shift just to make sure they weren’t following you and couldn’t catch up, and couldn’t use your phone while driving to call 911 so you just had to keep driving... that’s believable lmao
Pali That was my first observation in this video as in most of the other ones I see on you tube. It says a lot about just how safe drivers THINK they are driving. 1 second away is a dangerous place to be.
He could have waited farther back. Even though nothing happened because of his close range the potential is always there if you're too close. It is a high-risk situation when you choose to be in that position. You are at the mercy of the vehicle in front of you. You don't know what they are thinking, doing, or what they are perceiving. It's a crap shoot when you drive like this and it is the unspoken biggest danger on the roads. Collisions don't just HAPPEN, they occur 98% of the time because one or more drivers refuses to lose a little speed to make a situation safe. When one truck is going 1/2 of a mile per hour faster than another one, and they attempt to pass it, it can be a long drawn out process that really doesn't get them anywhere. Too many drivers (all drivers) refuse to slow down for safety. In this clip all of the trucks are following too close. It isn't that anyone is waiting to pass, it is that they do this constantly. We professionals should know better than to travel any distance in that precarious position.
but can it distort the time needed for the road marks to go from the front truck to the following one ... no this is also how you evaluate safety distance the proper way, by timing the gape between you and the one you follow!
Great example of why I quit trucking. It wasn't the long hours, weeks from home, or mediocre pay. It was a-hole idiots like this risking lives for no reason at all. The truck moved over after a clean pass. If the Jeep jerk was really in a hurry, he/she/it had plenty of open road ahead.
Do you think the Jeep did that for no reason? We agree he did not. What do you think the reason was? He block traffic by driving side by side with another truck instead of speeding up to let traffic pass.I've seen it SO many times!!!
Not justifying anything but that is why you have truckers that just dont care. You deal with a few morons like that jeep and you figure to heck with them!
The reckless trucker cut him off before, he deserves it. I have no tolerance for retarded fat slobs endangering everyone else’s lives in those 18 wheelers.
So he's upset that the truck was in the left lane, even though the truck was rightfully passing. So if the Jeep was in such a hurry that the truck was too slow, why does he all of a sudden have time to do those dumb @$$ shenanigans? He clearly has no reason to be upset because he has all the time in the world to get himself killed.
I have a feeling that once companies start putting cameras in more trucks, it will make drivers a lot safer and also result in a lot more crashes at the same time. now that I sometimes drive with a camera, I'll be a lot less likely to slam on brakes when someone does something like this. I'll move over and hit the cruise. if they jerk in front of me and try to make me rear end them - there won't be any "my word against his" and the other guy saying I came up behind him and rammed into him. the video will show what happened. the other driver will be charged for causing the accident and our company will be suing them for scratching our truck. and the other driver might show up to court in a body cast.
+chieftp Or you could just buy your own, this way when you retire or switch job careers you can take your camera with you when you go. If company says otherwise, take that receipt, make a copy, and shove that fucking thing in their faces and tell em to fuck off. Without the shove paper in face and telling them to fuck off, I do not endorse that since you could be arrested for assault lol.
***** I usually err on the side of caution to avoid any wreck if possible, but if someone does something as blatantly defiant and intentional as mr jeep here, well - I won't go out of my way to jam on the brakes nor throw my load around.
We also know how truckers take up the entire road for miles: They run side by side at low speeds..They pull into the left lane to pass on UPHILL! Don't just blame the Jeeper.
I turned the light off on it, so that they won't notice the difference. The truck just looks like I started yesterday when I drive. They won't even suspect, when they lie to their insurance company about the accident...
A similar situation happened here where I live. The guy misjudged and cut in front of the truck to close,not only did he go to the hospital he was fined and lost a law suit filed by the both the driver and his company.
WTH did that truck driver do to the Jeep? Too often drivers are just downright disrespectful to truck drivers........give em room, let em over, help em out, they'll remember you down the highway should you need to get over. Good gawd........
I'm a Canadian Trucker and this garbage even happens here. LOTS!! Sometimes I even end up going to pass another semi and HE will speed up to try to prevent me from passing. He was going slow for ages. I caught up from a few miles back. Then I go to pass and THAT is when he speeds up..... 😒 Then I tuck in behind and he slows down again. F___ing A-holes.
That driving before the Jeep came into the picture is road rage generating at its highest. I can drive on the highway quite comfortably but as soon as someone stops passing like this first second or third car does, I become terrified and must react because this is just like pulling out a gun and just taking random pot shots as far as equivalency of danger level. if one of these trucks or one of these cars loses a tire or has any issue, there's no where to go with vehicles next to each other. absolutely terrifying! either drive right and keep right or get in the passing lane and get that pass done!!! but do not ride beside other vehicles any longer than needed to complete your pass. This is what causes me to start flashing my lights and pushing because I will not tolerate being held in this unnecessarily dangerous situation. Just like strangers come and grab me and hold me, It's the exact same thing except while these strangers box you in they could change lanes on you and crush you cause your death so it's much more necessary to protect yourself similarly in this type of situation from comparable dangers. Now this Jeep just needs to be taken off the road He's just a psychotic weapon driving idiot
