    The guy who posted the video has no clue what he is talking about. That lane change was better than probably 90% of the lane changes I see. Why? Because, first of all, the driver actually started signalling before he began moving over. (Nowadays, you're lucky if a driver starts signalling halfway into your lane.)

    Secondly, he made the move smoothly and safely. Had he allowed any more room, he would have had four-wheelers moving right before he had a chance to. We see it all the time.

    I can't speak to the speed, but nothing seemed excessive to me.

    i have watched a couple videos from these guys and it seems they are 'holier than thou" they have another video where they complain about the truck speeding over the speed limit all the while they are passing said truck that is speeding. how is that safe?

    People with video cameras with way too much free time, I thought it was a pretty good lane change myself.

    The vehicle video taping looked like it was increasing speed as the truck was trying to pass it, not sure but watched the video a couple times.

    hahaha i replied to one of their videos asking why they disabled the ratings and comments from being posted and why their truck was speeding past the speeding truck in this other video. They posted my comment then banned me from posting on their videos.
