Road Rage Camaro A-Hole Wrecks Himself Into Big Rig: VideoRoad Rage Camaro A-Hole Wrecks Himself Into Big Rig: Video

Instant karma is gonna get you, especially if you’re a giant jerk. From what we can see here, everyone got what they deserved—except the poor trucker, who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
MUST SEE: Jeep Driver Out-Jerks Corvette Driver’s Jerk Parking Job: Video
What happened? A Camaro driver was trying to pass on the right—dangerously, nearly sideswiping a pickup—and the pickup driver reacted by boxing him in against a big rig.
The Camaro driver wasn’t having it.
Instead, he attempted a high-speed pass on a grassy median. Predictably, the buffoon loses control of the car, hits the pickup, and sends them both into the path of the tractor-trailer. All three end up going off the highway.

Fortunately it doesn’t look as if anyone was seriously injured.
Unfortunately, neither of these asshats is likely to understand how badly they messed up. And that poor trucker just had a very bad day at work.

What's amazing to me is how little the people posting on that video know about the road rules.
Frankly, both are at fault, but it was the pick-up truck driver's passive aggressive and illegal driving behavior that spawned the accident. Both will be charged and convicted and see their insurance go through the roof.
But if people would quit driving with malice, aka the p/u truck driver, then that incident would never have happened.
If someone wants to pass me at 100 mph I'm going to move over and let them go by, it's not my job to prevent it. Trying to do so is only to avoid trouble. If other drivers behaved that way every time that p/u truck driver was driving poorly he'd be pissed. Complete hypocrite and jackass. Granted, that doesn't excuse the idiocy of the guy in the camaro, but he didn't strike me as using the highway to play his brand of video game like the p/u truck driver was.

The driver of the Camaro was completely at fault, although the driver in the pickup should have pulled into the right lane as soon as it was safe. That way the Camaro would have been going at least 100mph, but probably would have hit a van full of jr high band members or something. Pickup truck driver did the right thing.

You could not be more wrong. There was a line of cars in front of the pickup when the Camaro decided to cut in. It's not like Camaro would get to their destination any faster by shaving off that 1.0334 gap between themselves and the lead car. The driver of the Camaro is was an asshole, I was glad to see such an ugly bully meet a fitting demise.

You do not have a moral obligation to let idiots pass you when there is an impassibly slower traffic jam directly ahead. This is akin to tripping someone to get that good cup of spaghetti-mac before they do, even though there are hundred of such delicious meals awaiting on the other folding table.

Camaro guy was an a-hole as was the pickup guy.
Pickup guy really knew how to eff with Camaro guy starting off with not letting him pass him from the right lane. Camaro guy was nice enough to use his turn signal.
What should have been 20 secs of cat and mouse, lasted minutes. Camaro guy was on his ass the whole time and got his just reward when he went to the breakdown lane to attempt to pass.
Sorry for big rig guy's bad luck of being there.

I often wonder why anyone would purchase and use a dash-cam in their vehicle.
Now I know why.

I'm not wrong.
And please, do not get me wrong, I don't feel bad for either the camaro driver or the p/u truck driver.
It was beyond clear that the p/u driver was deliberately sitting next to the semi, the most dangerous place to be on any highway, after and once the camaro did squeeze in. For over a mile after that the p/u just sat there next to the semi which is what caused that accident, not the original cut-in.
The person in the p/u was fucking with the camaro, which is why I don't feel bad for either driver. Point being that if that p/u had simply passed the semi and moved into the right lane that accident would never have happened.
You're right, the driver of the camaro is an asshole, but so is the driver of that pick-up, and while it was the driver of the camaro that instigated and caused the accident technically, the p/u truck driver was driving illegally by not passing. If he/she couldn't have passed, then the proper and legal thing to do would have been to slow down and pull in behind that semi, not sit in the left lane antagonizing not only that camaro but also holding up who knows how many cars behind him/her.
The problem in this country is that our driver education system is so weak, and frankly, unlike other countries, not even required to get a license, that most people are clueless when it comes to road laws, rules, and courtesies. Even the cops don't know many key traffic laws, most of the time for traffic stuff they just sit there and monitor a number on a radar mechanism, if it's too high they pull you over and give you a citation. Real brain work there. (sarc) But I've seen them completely ignore illegal driving behavior and have talked to cops that are clueless on other aspects of driving law. i.e., clearly they're trained, not to monitor safety, rather to write tickets that act as a tax.
Either way, if I had been the driver of that semi I'd have been very tempted to get out and kick the shit out of both of those drivers. Both were assholes, the camaro driver for his muscle-headed behavior, but also the p/u truck driver for his self-righteous sociopathic "I'll show you" attitude.
Together, look what it got them, hopefully an enormous lawsuit from that truck driver.

Morality has nothing to do with it. Legally you have every obligation to move over and not block traffic in the left lane. If you do not understand that then you are unfit to drive on the highways.
There was absolutely no one in front of that p/u, you can tell by both the shadows and the fact that after the accident it was entirely clear because you can see it directly.
The p/u truck driver did that for approximately a half-mile so clearly it was deliberate. I see that kind of behavior every time I go out for more than a short trip. People in this country have become semi-psychotic and IMO the rise of video games and the whole "not in my house" mentality has driven it. If people walked around like they drive then there'd be fist fights in public constantly.
Same with acceleration and deceleration lanes. They used to call them acceleration lanes for a reason, because you're supposed to accelerate in them. To what speed? To the speed of the traffic. But most people today brainlessly try to enter 70 mph (often faster) traffic doing 35 or 40. It's the absolute most dangerous way to enter a highway. Unfortunately the word accelerate has become a bad word.
Same with deceleration lanes. The entire idea is to first move into the deceleration lane and then start slowing down. But again, most people drive brainlessly without ever giving a thought as to how or why the roads are set up as they are and slow down to 50 in a 70 on the highway forcing the rest of the traffic to adjust to their poor behavior.
BTW, in Germany that pick-up would have been ticketed for not moving over immediately. Other nations police that as well, just not here in the states where everything goes.
It's sadly funny because I often point out to others in the car with me that the right lane is quite often empty while there's an enormous backup in the left lane, allowing me to drive through in the right lane. It's become the complete opposite of both the laws as well as of common sense and intent in this country.
Same with eating or texting, in most European nations you'll be ticketed for that. But in our society the rights of one person, despite the inconveniences caused to many more people, seem to trump all else. There's a psychosis running rampant in our society that manifests itself in many ways, driving behavior being one of the primary ways.

The driver of the camaro was at fault for the accident, but the driver of the pick-up was at fault for setting the table for the accident and had it entirely within his purview to prevent it by simply passing the semi and moving over, or slowing down and pulling in behind that semi. Period.
That's not to say that the musclehead in the camaro wouldn't have gotten in an accident at some point down the road because the liter capacity of his engine was larger than his IQ.
As I said, IMO the driver of that semi would have been well within his moral rights to get out of his truck and kick the shit out of both drivers. Again, I hope he sues both of them. They're both mental.

When I have the spare cash I'm going to rig 360 cameras in my vehicles. Today you never know which psycho is going to do what and there is no shortage of psychos in this country today. I include the cops in that too.
If possible I'll have it uplink so that any memory cards cannot be stolen.

BTW and FWIW, IMO that guy filming was way too close behind those asshats too after having witnessed that cut-in and the ensuing game of who can be the biggest muscle-head and asshole. I'd have backed off another few car lengths anyway.
