    Ooh that is sheer idiocy.
    What makes it worse is people like that think they are doing the right thing... it's "courtesy" doncha know...

    At first I only watched up to the part where he slams on the brakes for the truck on the ramp. I see he,she,it gets even dumber. Never had anyone come to a full stop like that in front of me on the interstate before. I could be wrong but I would think you could have gotten by him before that point. Giving him so much room is what people would call the "safe" thing but it only enabled him to f8ck with you more.

    On the other hand if a four wheeler is determined to f8ck with you he could easily get back in front of you to resume the nonsense if you did pass him. Not much you can do except hope someone else takes him out.

    You hear about Colorado thinking legalizing magic mushrooms would be a great idea, high as a kite on one side and somebody seeing flying pink elephants on the other, what could possibly go wrong?

    this guy was slowly passing me on right line. as soon as he saw the line will exit to ca--58 he jumped in my line in front of me. then I slowed to maintain distance. he was going at same speed. Again at very last moment he realized the line is ending, jumped in front of Western Express. Western Express used horn and moved left. Few seconds later he saw the truck is merging to the freeway from right and he did hard braking, almost stopped on freeway. but that truck was far in front of him and was going much faster than his car. I used horn and moved left.
    the driver was 30-35 year male

    I would be sending that vid in to CHP.

    He didn't signal and unsafe driving and wreckless driving.

    Stopping the freeway for nothing.

    I have seen this sort of thing many times.

    It's a 4 wheel driver thinking they are able to stop a truck.

    But I will also say Mr dash cam should have known to get over in the middle if your in a area with many on ramps. And blazing the horn at the car did nothing but make the car driver mad. And than came some road rage.

    Yes if I were the driver of the dash cam I would have been mad and yelled, or flipped the bird. But no one else would have heard it or seen it most likely.

    A bit of inexperience with traffic flow on the truck driver here I think. There was tons of room in the center lane to hang out in.

    Those type of idiots seem to gravitate towards me. Last one I dealt with was on a Harley.
