    We're not talking about other Prime drivers we're talking about what happened here.

    listen, I don't like getting stuck behind slow vehicles either, but there is no excuse for that sort of behaviour by a so called professional driver. Restraint is the key out there these days and anybody that spends time on the road knows the slow movers.

    Its very clear that Martin is to blame for this and i'm almost certain their safety dept will be talking to this driver and showing him the video.Martin can't afford to have drivers like this on the road ruining their safety score loads and equipment lucky you gave them the location and time this happened.

    Let me see if I got this straight, you're thinkg is if the driver of at truck that is moving slower than you moves over into a lane you're traveling in, then he is considered cutting you off? Are you one of these people who seem to think if you have possession of a lane you have the right of way, no matter how far ahead of you some body merges over, for what ever reason, they are automatically "cutting you off".

    Maybe instead of the "this is mine, you can't have it" attitude you could "share" the road, novel concept huh?

    IDK about you, but obviously you didn't watch the video, and clearly martin started cutting over without even checking his/her mirrors to see if it was clear....then to brake check....yep guess you missed that part of the video too.....

    seems obvious to me that if martin is going fast enough to pass, that both drivers can maintain their speeds and if martin would have gotten over the correct way there wouldn't be an issue, but as soon as driver blew horn warning that the martin driver was being dumb and just about to take the front end of the truck off decided to figure it was ok, to pass as he did, and for good measure do a brake check to set his point....really...

    you must be part of the new me generation who feels that if people are in the slow lane then you have every right to move over whenever and however you want without checking the mirrors as its not your problem...and people wonder why there is such regulations, and such.....

    turn that video into safety, give them the details and i bet that driver be out of a job at the very least.

    Uh, pretty sure you're both talking abut the same thing... the Marten driver and that s/he may have had the idea that the lane was "theirs," not the OP.
