Note: NSFW language in video. Also, you can fast forward the video to about 2:45 unless you want to see me uneventfully cruising along on I-90.
This is why it pays to keep your head on a swivel. You never know when some idiot is gonna try to ruin your day.

Wow, glad you were on your game, your differently a professional driver.

I hate idiots like that. They don't look at their rear view at all then wonder why they got rammed in the ###. Has happened to me a few times on I-90 approaching Seattle, people stopping fully in order to take the off ramp. Good job, driver.

Was the horn really necessary? And if you had to drive for 1,000,000 miles with traffic crawling in the right lane and you still moving at 40+mph in the center lane, how many accidents do you think you would have?
A21CAV, Dinomite, gpsman and 1 other person Thank this. -
Great video, that could have ended an entirely different way for that 4 wheeler.
Maybe next time they won't be so lucky! -
Wow, good work driver. See, now the person in the white car must know a trucker and felt they had an obligation to let the truck in, blissfully unaware that someone coming up behind them could rear end them, and they wanted to get over anyway, and felt this was the best way to do that. Like people stopping on an entrance ramp. Again, good job, driver. Part of driving a truck is trying to guess what other driver's will do.
Dinomite Thanks this. -
There is free video editing software out there, you know? (why do most people who post dash cam videos feel they need to post the whole clip, and not just an edited segment they think we need to see?)
You saw trafffic backing up in the right lane, and coming to a stop, and didn't expect something strange to happen? Either a car decide they didnt' want to be in the right lane after all, (like the truck), or somebody in the far left lane cut in front of you at the last minute and try to get into the the right lane to exit?
The white car was just looking for an opening to get into the right lane, and at least used a turn signal, unlike most drivers.flood, double yellow and Dinomite Thank this. -
I think that was your fault, seeing as how you were listening to the Buckeyes beat Oregon last night, and knowing how bad Oregon sucked. Talk about not being on their game, lol.
Hammer166 Thanks this. -
You started out with decent following distance, a little slow getting off the throttle when the brake lights conveyed traffic ahead was slowing.
It's 90% asshattery out there, 90% of the time. I look at the 'hats as I would want someone to see my mom suffering a momentary lapse of reason.Dinomite Thanks this. -
Worst part is he'll probably do the same thing tomorrow ...... that's what really pisses me off. These drivers cause situations day in and day out and nothing registers in there head how lucky they are to be alive sometimes.
"semi" retired Thanks this.
