    Looks like he has his signal on for some time and no one would cut him any slack.

    He drove the truck and dared you pansies to stop him. Good job driver.

    His signal was not on at the start of the video and at that time he was already past the point he needed to be in the exit lane.

    But yeah, the 'pansy' chose not to hit him.

    Looks like a signal to me. Eagle is the focktards here.

    And so what, it's heavy traffic, raining, and maybe that driver isn't some 14 buck an hour daycab driver that runs it every day. The camera car did the right thing, he backed off and blocked traffic so dude could carry on, even if it was the last minute.

    Folks should start driving and helping the other guy out instead of whining.

    Watch it again. The signal was not on at the start. It was on after eagle got by him.

    If this is sarcasm, then bravo, however, if you truly are blaming a school for this stupidity, then, wow!

    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here. Hard to imagine you actually having this bad of judgement or approving the driver's poor judgement and aggressive, stupid behavior.

    There is one incident past that I-40 bridge in which a convertable full of idiots stopped dead short in front of me and my FFE tractor trailer in the far left lane east bound. Here I am at 63 with no place to put her.

    They whipped the vehicle across the median where the police had used it as a dirt crossing to get to the other side of the interstate. Then cut off 4 lanes to get to the far side ramp to hop off onto the surface street.

    I think back now and then to that particular problem and no place to put the big truck under me. I guess I would be rotting in a Memphis jail with 6 charges of vehicular manslaughter. The median was not a option, it was a V shaped terrain that would have rolled me into the westbound side upside down and killed a bunch more... The right hand side might have hurt a few people maybe. Not kill so many.

    I will never again allow that semi to get into a position where there is no place to put it for love of God or Money.
     
    shogun and JReding Thank this.
