This guy needs medication

Neither do the drivers of those trucks he's so mad at.

 

...and the bobtail driving head first toward the camera truck on the wrong side of the double lines is ok?

 

Every single one of those issues he filmed had the potential to take a life and all you people focus on is his bad attitude. Every one of those other trucks are the problem we all should be focusing on. His attitude is poor and temperament is worse but with so many examples of other drivers truly putting him and others at risk of serious bodily injury or death they should be the real focus here.

 

Yes its quite obvious that driver was an ex - US postal worker. Needs to take a chill pill that's for sure.Can't believe how so many incidents can occur while driving on the road in such a short period of time. Driver should sign up for a defensive driving course and seek some serious psychological help as soon as possible.

 

Oh your one of those types. Ok where did i say the bobtail was ok? Infact where did anyone say the other drivers bad driving was ok? People are morons, we know people are morons. I wouldn't be suprised if half the drivers on the road got their license out of a crackerjack box or hell even just printed out a coloring sheet that looks like a CDL. I know it, you know it, the fat guy over ther chokeing on a 4 pound taco knows it anyone that has seen an 18 wheeler knows it. Restateing it is as obvious as pointing out the sky is blue, water is wet and fuel is expensive.

So instead of stateing the obvious and nodding along like a bunch of bobbleheads on a paint shaker over the obvious and stupid. We instead take umbrage at a driver who is an obvious risk to everyone on the road due to his road rage, his obvious agressive driving and the guys tendancy to put himself in bad situations that most of us avoid or mitigate via defensive driving.

Does that mean we are fine with the other drivers? No it does not, infact if the guy had the good sense god gave a tree stump he could have avoided or heavily mitigated MOST of those situations and THAT is what has us mad. Hell if it had been just ONE instance we would have likely overlooked it. We cant be alert every second of every day and all make mistakes or miss things.

Instead he consistantly demonstrated poor driving, road rage, inconsideration towards others, complete lack of defensive driving and complete lack of situational awarness and in many cases when he did show situational awarness he instead chose to make things worse, among many other problems. Then he tried to play it off like HE was the victim. So again instead of focusing on the idiots we all know exist we take umbrage at the guy pretending to be a victim.

Also i hate strawmans i really do. They are truely annoying as are the people that use them

 

Common sense and courtesy seem to be sorely lacking these days, especially in this video…

 

I have the perfect 3 seconds video that illustrates what a situational awareness, lane control and the best choice of action effectively saved a life or more.
When a sleepy 4wheeler started drifting in my lane from the right side.
Unfortunately the record was made with a dual lens camera, so,
my face is on the left side of the screen.
If I could blur my face, I would post it for everyone viewing pleasure.
I don't want to cause nightmares for the faint of heart.

 

He’s a professional noticer he sees things we don’t.

 

He is a gentleman.
I wish more people to be like him.
Even if I don't agree with him or him with me.
Never tried to insult or belittle me or anybody else.
Politely disagrees. And that's OK.

 

Look at the bobtail video again. The bobtail that was moving was trying to get around the one that was parked. Poorly timed,yes. However the dashcam driver actually PULLED HIS TRUCK OVER TO THE LEFT to basically attempt to BLOCK the bobtail.
Basically the dashcam driver went LOOKING FOR A CONFRONTATION.
Two wrongs don’t make a right!
