So the truck is an idiot in the video posters opinion, but they'll drive even faster racing the "idiot" and provoke him. That driver is an idiot also. The truck could have spun into someone coming the other way and people could have died, the people who posted this would be complicit in the act and possibly face criminal charges. Genius.
I personally hate left-lane-bandits who feel it is their business to enforce speed laws making it more dangerous for everyone. IMO that is what is going on in this situation. Why else would they be videoing it. Nothing like making a bad situation much worse.

Except there were multiple semis in the right lane which she was passing/going faster than and she was turning left in half a mile, which is why she stayed in the left lane. Furthermore, the truck's the one that slowed down after passing to flip her off.
For example, Florida's Turnpike is a two lane highway in both directions for a good stretch and I always have morons like this tailgating me when I'm already going 75-80 MPH passing a long line of semis. What the hell do you expect me to do, hit 90 just to appease you? Plus toolbags like him will end up passing on the right as soon as he gets a chance anyways so there's really no point attempting to move over for him. I tried once and almost put the guy into a ditch.
If it was a three lane highway and she was hogging the left lane then you would have a point. However, 41 is not an interstate highway and it only has two lanes. If she has a turn coming up in half a mile and she's already moving faster than right lane traffic then there's no reason she shouldn't stay in the left lane.
