    I got nervous just from watching that video.No way on gods green earth would I have rode that cars bumper like it appears to me in this video.I don't care if that car was at fault by starting the c at and mouse game.You back off and let the idiot get far ahead of you.Its not like you're going to see him again.Had that car slammed on his brakes he would have died instantly.

    4 ways on. Stop. Pop the yellow button. Climb down from cab. Grab big, nasty pipe off the headache rack. Walk up to car driver and tell them to get moving.

    No doubt,there's no getting away from drivers like that 4 wheeler but the most stupidest thing to do is play his game especially in a 18 wheeler.

    Dash cam big herd/moose bumper and when they olay stupid games like this they win stupid prizes. With dash cam footage like this it puts the cause of the accident 100% on the driver that braked for no apparent reason in front of the truck.

    Similar to what northern mechanic said.
    I would have gotten the licence plate & a description of the car, pulled over to the shoulder, stopped, pulled the parking brake, turned on way flashers & called the police. If the car stopped, I hope I woulda stayed in my truck. If the car moved on, I woulda waited until I got off the phone with the police & carried on.
    I certainly wouldnt have allowed the car to get that close to me..... at all.

    My thought would be on a possible car jacking attempt.

    Is there a way to view the video for those of us that don't have Facebook? I know what it is though...typical self righteous 4wheeler that feels the need to teach the big bad trucker a lesson, right?

    Sorry guys but the driver is wrong on a couple things, one was trying to pass the idiot, the other was not pulling over and stopping. The driver was acting as if they were going to intimidate the driver and didn't think that just stopping would have let the idiot win and go while not putting the truck in any more danger when trying to pass.
