He had every right to be pissed. Why the hell was she in the left lane just cruising? I hate when people do that. If I get behind you in the left lane and your driving like a slow dumb shit I will ride your ass until you get over! The Left lane is for passing, not leisurely driving. That's not just made up, it is actually the law. If I was behind her and then went around and saw that she was driving so slow because she was recording me I would have flipped her off too.

+100

although he was being an a$$....the driver in front was just as bad....he they were concerned about them "tailgating", instead of breaking out the camera, they should have moved over into the right hand lane.

To me it looks like she even speeds up to prevent him from passing, but who knows. Definitely douchey on both parts.

I would agree if it were an interstate with exits ramps, but surface streets are a different story.
It takes less than 20 seconds to get over into the right lane and allow someone to pass, and then get back over. The video lasts roughly two minutes -- she had multiple opportunities to pass without being disruptive to other traffic. The driver was a moron who thinks she owns the road and makes the rules; she needs to stay off the road.

Totally agree.

On the plus side she was the one doing the video, you can't make me believe she was alert to what was in front of her the whole time.
She could have easily rear- ended someone.

She passed two trucks. You can't see them in the right lane until she's already passed them. Unless you just want her to cut off one of the trucks so the jack wagon can speed past them.

I'm not surprised in the least this happened at all, especially given the geographic location.

I have very little sympathy for both parties, but especially less so for the person(s) in the Super Duty; getting tailgated and/or nearly run off the by a similar-sized vehicle to mine is bad enough, but to have the same thing done by a truck that can weigh over four tons simultaneously infuriates and scares the hell out of me. It pisses me off even more when I see one scream by and then have the driver weave in and out of busy traffic like some jackass in a riced out Civic.

I'd like to express my ultimate wish of what should've happened to either party, but in doing so it would probably result in my getting banned.

Ultimately he over-reacted and paid the price. People cruising in the fast lane happens, how you handle it shows your own maturity.

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.
AGREE!

This thread just shows why people cant drive anymore too many opinions of who is wrong and who is right, If she had a turn coming up then its all In her right to drive at the speed limit in the left lane of a non hwy/interstate road and not move over heck even if she wasn't turning its still not wrong of her to move over. What she did wrong was video tape it and get distracted by that while driving. If had this been a hwy or interstate then yea I can say she was dumb to stay in the left lane and not move over but clearly that isn't a interstate cause it has signal lights and turns on it. Lets all just agree the Guy in the truck was a dumbass and the lady filming it was dumb to do that.

JFTR I just went to the full video I embeded in post #17 to C&P her comment on the vid she posted but she has deleted the comment now. She stated how she has videoed other drivers and forwarded/reported them to authorities but this was the first time something like this happened. So this person has appointed herself "official traffic law vigilante enforcer" and makes a habit out this type of thing apparently, this time with potentially deadly consequences. In your everyday life how often have you found it necessary to video poor or dangerous drivers and forward the videos to authorities? Why is she such a magnet for this type of thing? Or is she the one provoking these incidents so she can video it? I guess those in law enforcement on here are going to stay out of this one.

Gee, maybe SHE'S part of the problem!!! Common sense and logic people.

Found on FB. Legit?
