    I don't know why be didn't just pass him and wonder why that other trk was going so slow.it also looks to me like the first truck delibrately stepped on his brakes because the second truck kept his speed behind the first truck.

    It looked like a brake check. It's scary that there are people on the road who are that stupid or that crazy.

    Yeah, I don't think we have to worry about the driver in the second video anymore. I half expected to see his flattened corpse fall off the back of the trailer he hit when they pulled them apart. First video...all I take away from that is lols at the ah! Ah ! Ah ! Holy ####. Like he was being painfully molested by a ghost.

    After looking at the video again it looks like the first trk came to a complete stop then started up again.what the heck is wrong with people.maybe he thought the second truck was getting too close.I'd like to know why the first trk was going so slow.

    Which are we calling first truck and which are we calling second ? There's the driver whose dash cam we're looking at...I'd call him second...HE might have done a 'brake check' but I don't see anyone else doing that. The truck ahead of him wouldn't have any reason to...dashcam driver was well over 70 feet behind him. Lead truck slowed to almost a complete stop (and then started moving again...why wouldn't he) but I see no reason to assume he did it to f8ck with the guys behind him. No one was tailgating him.

    First truck is just that,the first truck,jackey I think is the name on the trailer.jackey its the one that done the brake check from what it looks like to me and why would he do such a stupid thing especially with a semi behind him.any truck driver should know they can't stop on a dime.I never said he was tailgating but maybe that's what jacky thought.nonethe less the other guy should have passed him.

    Yeah...I don't see him doing a ''brake check". Why would he ? The guy behind him was crawling 80 feet behind him. Both jacky and the guy who got hit were just lollygagging along it seems to me.
    I think it more likely the guy who got hit did one. Even then, as stupid as that would have been on his part, nobody should have hit him THAT hard. Whoever hit him was really out to lunch.

    Folks, at roughly the 2:55 mark, the driver asks over the CB "which lane is getting through?". There was stopped/slowed traffic possibly due to another accident or conjestion. The only one doing anything stupid was the driver that did the hitting.
