    Zero traffic in front of you tells me you could have merged to the left a mile back. If you had, then posted a video of him blowing your doors off passing to the right it would be different.

    I have seen this same scenario before somewhere.
    Also, had a similar situation happen to me with a FedEx doubles, he passed me on the hammer lane and decided to come back over on the lane I was in only after the first trailer cleared me, yup......he pushed me into the shoulder or should I say, I moved to the shoulder so we wouldn't created a scene. The good thing was my exit was a mile away, who knows what would of happened if I would of caught up to him.

    Like DFW officers riding around in a bus? They have 3-4 officers in a tour bus with tinted windows, mainly focus on texting/open container laws/and get quite a few marijuana stops.

    I did see him coming. I judged by his speed that it would have been though the right thing to do to bockclock his path with my unit, the more dangerous thing to do. He would have hit me or jacknifed and wrecked out trying not to hit me. So, you're welcome FedEx, I used my superior intellect and advanced driving skills to save us both.

    Wow. Very gruesome. You're lucky to be alive. Omg...



    Anyone who knows how dash cam footage works, the human eye can see way further down the road than these cameras - especially at night.
    How could you put yourself in this situation and blame another driver?
    It might have been aggressive but I wouldn't be surprised if he intentionally blocked you over there because you were being a ####### and drove by the last 6 "right lane closed ahead" signs with your head in the clouds.

    With how fast he was going compared to you there's no way in hell he was close enough to you to cause himself to jackknife if you were looking far enough ahead to get over safely, he would've been a half-mile behind you and you would've been a half mile in front of the construction zone.

    That happens every night on 22 near Airport road in Allentown. And at Kutztown on 78. And now on 81 at Mechanicsburg. Nothing new. Doesn't make it right though
