I figure OLD MANS been driving longer than most of us been alive, Thats all I need to know, And these little dumb %$^ on these bikes surely wont last long at this pace.
Rigbuilder Thanks this. -
yea right! He will carry a gun to shoot at people that he brake checked? Thats about as stupid as stupid can get!
-
We see stupid every day.. dont we all?
Put a dash cam on your truck so you dont have to seat at the driver's seat for hours at the truck stop lol -
Yes we do man, But we all know how fast these bikes are. They can be traveling at 150 miles an hour and be nowhere in sight when you get ready to pass. They may have been behind him when he hit his turn signal and started coming over. How do we know he didnt change his mind about passing after being un nerved by the first bike , Maybe he looked and seen it was clear hit his right signal and started coming over and these speed demons came zooming around him at the last minute. My point is their are factors here we will never know. I read every comment before I posted. We all have our own opinion, But its clear these riders were in the wrong and were antagonizing this semi. And the truck driver has been driving a truck for pushing 40 years! Since I wasnt there any comment I make is simply my opinion and I have to take a side. Im siding with the truck driver after watching the behavior of the riders acting like heathens. I know we are professionals and have to put safety first before all things and I think this driver did just that. But that doesn't mean everything that happens is automatically your fault. And I think it deeply irresponsible to try and rationalize the behavior of these little thugs away. And I think to shoot at a motorist that you purposely pissed off is retarded and should carry a hefty sentence. If anything the riders should loose their License over this behavior. It could have been one of our wives they were bullying like this.

Wow, can't believe some of the responses on here
i ride and have been riding all my life, i have ridden most of north america on a bike. I've been driving trucks almost 20 years. I would NEVER pass ANY vehicle on the right on my bike. No way no how, thats like playing Russian roulette, the first guy braking to open the gap for his buddies is lucky he's not dead, the gap looks a lot bigger than it really is, the cameras fish eye lens does this, the gap is clearly smaller than a truck length, o/p was clearly never in the wrong, and the drifting to the right was maybe him possibly looking that way to try to gt out of the way? if ANYTHING goes bad at that moment, they are all in great jeopardy, and only because of their stupid, idiotic behaviour and nothing else. This whole situation was brought on by the morons on the bikes . PERIOD.full speed, peterd, Joetro and 4 others Thank this. -
Thank you very much

Wow.. I guess my comment went the other way. I for one in no real time would side with any moron putting people's safety at risk, such as their own or others.
The moron on the video that gets rear ended deserved it, would had I done it? No. I rather get home with crap like that off of my head and with my license clean. Which is why I stated on the driver that got cut off on the right by the bunch of goons on the bikes he should had mantained his line and just ease off the throttle.
As to the comment that the guy would never brake check another driver again "or he would carry" was as a point to people's stupidity, 2 wrongs won't make one right, and by getting rear ended in such a stupid manner I'd dare to believe he will be a pissed off rider - not just an idiot rider - from there and on. -
I would really hate to see a driver try to explain that to a DOT crew on the side of the road with one of those riders under his wheels..
-
lol, I think the video would explain it quiet well when they saw the little smart a-- acting like he was. Anyway folks Im out of here. No since following this post any longer. Have a nice day.
