    So maybe the truck driver needs to rethink her career. Or maybe a bad day, who knows.

    But,

    The people in the vehicle recording are truly horrible people. Not only because they didn't try to help or alert the driver, but because they obviously enjoyed the driver's misfortune so much. How pathetic must you be to relish in the misfortune of others, as these two did? Hello, karma? You are needed.

    Karma is real! It will happen! (maybe it already has and when leaving they backed over a shopping buggy that got wrapped around and severed a fuel line draining their gas tank and leaving them stranded on a country road like alligator alley and were eaten then regurgitated and eaten again.) Or not.

    I agree, they suck.

    Shame on those people recording but I think on my worst day, I couldn't F up that bad. It wouldn't distract me well enough into doing something so stupid like that.

    A true brother of the road will help another driver out of a tight spot, I know, I have been on both ends of that, including, in a heavy blizzard, mistaking the offramp for the on ramp, and having to back up a 270 degree turn back onto the regular road!
    Oh, and the Moon Beam Governor here in this commie state, back in 1985 when I did my graduation trip to the state capitol, every governor submits a picture of himself... most were grand paintings.... Gerr Gerr's was a, I turd you not, finger painting! Pffft.

    I don't think the people filming this are that bad you must rember that the general public don't know how a truck works and that driver was in full blown fight or fight mode pure panic had sat in.

    I love the parting shot in the video, on the back of the trailer:

    "Connect With Us!"

    Yep, I'd say that driver fully connected.

    This driver was a rookie...?

    You toting some kind of rookie detector?

    At what point were they safe...?

    Not really. The odds you're incompetent are far greater than 999 to 1.

    You realize the pool of prospective truck drivers consists exclusively of 4-wheelers, right...?

    Why is it always somebody elses responsibility to warn you that you are screwing up?

    So, if they had managed to warn this driver, and she avoided doing some damage, she would do something stupider, worse, or maybe even deadly, later?

    Let's hope they don't have 99 cent insurance?
    Maybe she went to 99 cent cdl school?
