    Sounds like truck 2 was tailgateing truck 1 and 1 brakechecked him. Truck 3 was following too close. Also truck 1 if that is the case is getting one HELL of a ticket.

    Couple idiots off the road at least. Dunno why people think crawling up the ### of the vehicle in front of them is going to get things moving quicker.

    In moron thought patterns its because they are trying to intemidate the vehicle infront of them to go faster. Cant tell you how many times i do the limit through a construction zone as a "lead" vehicle only to have some swine pull up behind me and start flashing their lights and/or honking.

    I love when they do that. When they pull up next to me I just laugh in their face while they flip me off.

    Master your emotions and life is good.

    Classic case of “getthereitis”.
    In my former profession usually the end result is a plane crash!

    I will never understand why they never just pass me when they know they are quickly gaining on the truck in front of them. Like suddenly I'm going to speed up to please them? I can only drive 1 truck at a time.

    Brakecheckers should have their driver's license suspended for a year on the first offense, and permanently revoked if they ever do it again.

    Edit: the first offense should also result in their vehicle being impounded, and any subsequent offense should result in their vehicle being sent to the crusher.
