I really didn't see any road rage there. Definitely looked like speed was the factor here.

100% not road rage. Speed and a top heavy container is the problem. Those things roll all the time cuz then Driver has no idea what is inside or how it’s loaded. He messed up.no one else to blame

Truck had the weaves from start of the video, not sure if any rage can be construed unless driver was mad at company and wanted to teach them a lesson, but really looked like something shifted in wagon.

I don't think the load was too stable to begin with.
He got aggressive in the beginning and was unstable from there. Whatever was in that container was high enough to make it tippy and probably enough weight to fall down on very little.
Whatever the problem was that was a accident waiting to happen and so there it is. I think there was something wrong with the driver mentally prior to the final wreck.justa_driver, Dave_in_AZ, Lepton1 and 2 others Thank this. -
Yep road rage, watch Triton and that silver SUV from the beginning , something happened back there and Silver blocked Triton in the right lane and then when Triton got in the left lane so did Silver, (for no reason).
Plus Triton had terrible lane control, I still feel woozy from his weavingjusta_driver, Dave_in_AZ and x1Heavy Thank this. -
If you notice that the speed picked up some. They went down a little bit of an incline, watch how those lines started moving at a faster rate. Speed plus weight equals catastrophe. Not only that, he had no business being in the hammer lane.

100% road rage. according to the local news, the trucker was weaving and changing lanes at speed. the SUV got in front of him, to only slow him down. that then caused the trucker to go ballistic.
both were given tickets, and i highly suspect that trucker will be unemployed, since AS A PROFESSIONAL, he could have let it go....
from the posted link, itself..
Mahwah police say the 44-year-old driver of an SUV, from Montebello, New York, thought a truck was being driven aggressively and was recklessly changing lanes on Route 17.
The SUV driver then decided to take the law into his own hands, and pulled in front of the truck and hit the brakes to force it to slow down.justa_driver, Bud A., fuzzeymateo and 4 others Thank this.
