    Ok scottie I seen the video you was in the right and the other driver is at fault.What I would have done and I have a few times is slow down let mister impatient in and then keep a good safe following distance.Remember your driving a semi,you be the bigger and better person especially thru a construction zone.Reason the other driver sped up is because he was mad you wouldn't let him in.Was there a line of traffic behind you?

    up to that point my speed was set on cruise at 59 in the 60 zone. I veered over still in cruise, JCT backed off then I backed off probably a mistake, I thought i had room over on the onramp area but it was expiring fast. I never sped up though. My best choice was to do what I did, just hope somone from behind recorded it too.

    actually he turned it off before the zone from what I'm understanding but still I would have turned it off long before that.When I see the first construction sign I would have turned it off.

    2 wrongs dont make a right
    yes it was your lane yes he shouldn't have been passing
    but that video would not exonerate you
    that wasn't defensive driving to avoid a collision
    looks like another hooray for me video

    Could've just slowed down, let em over and went about your day... Like the rest of us do.

    "nothing to see here " is really appropriate at this point.

    maybe he was 1.5 seconds behind schedule and at any cost he was going to pass you. I know its hard sometimes to be the better driver and back off and let the JCT driver in. He was (JCT) in the wrong. You are the better driver just don't let a 4 wheeler do that to you! P.S. If you see him coming up in a lane that is closing down why not throttle up a little so he knows he aint getting that leased POS by you?
