    VIDEO: Moving company guys camping in the left lane call the cops on big rig passing on the right

    Aggressive van driver bullies a moving van camped in the hammer lane...
    Moving van guy pulled the victim card and called the cops.
    Jerk move on the part of the moving van driver, camping out in the hammer lane.
    Jerk move by the van driver, doing what he did too.
    Party started with the moving van driver camping out, imho.
    Trucker had the juice to roll past him at speed, yet, moving van driver didn't back off.
    Sorry moving van guys, this one's yours.

    Totally the vans fault.
    These are the guys I’ll literally shut down the entire interstate to drag them out and curb stomp their ###.

    Is the van driver wrong for hanging out in the left lane and for maintaining 75 mph while an impatient trucker wants so desperately to pass? Yes.

    But that trucker clearly did not have clearance to pass safely, and bullied his way over anyhow.

    Why is the trucker attempting to pass in such a rush?

    As much as I would have liked to see the van driver move right, both drivers are guilty of first degree douchebaggery.

    Van driver is a douche for idling in the left lane but the other guy hit him and it’s on camera. He’s screwed.

    He didn't back off and just continued on in the hammer lane. I have been stopped before in my personal vehicle for driving in the left lane with no traffic around me and see folks do this all the time hindering people being able to pass others.

    Did these guys remind anyone else of Cheech & Chong? The driver was just sitting there looking straight ahead as if he was stoned LOL . No worries what so ever. Just like another fly buzzing around.
    The passenger: Hey dude, what's this guy doing? I'm gonna call the cops, man.

    You could take that whole scene & script right out of a Cheech & Chong movie.

    First, I never seen what state that happened in, so I don't know what the laws might have been.
    Both are idiots.
    The moving van: In most states, hanging out in the left lane is illegal. "Left lane for passing only".
    The truck driver may not like it but regardless, he cant just change lanes & run into someone. Illegal lane change. Possibly simple damage to property since it was intentional. Possibly Criminal damage to property depending on the circumstances which is a felony. Road rage is a criminal offence in some states.

    I think Suzie that posted the video to Twitter, needs to get another boyfriend.

    Yup. Douchebaggery all around pretty much sums it up.
    And this exactly why states like New Mexico are passing laws prohibiting trucks from hanging out in the left lane!

    Maybe I should have clarified. The Dry Van driver is at fault. Yea the moving truck is a dick and should gtfo the way. However, the impatient semi should have never bullied his way over like that.
    I’ve had this happen to me before in a construction zone where the left lane is ending and slower truck then decided to push his way over in front of me. “It didn’t end well for him”
    Also these guys who push people like this are the reason 4wheelers speed up when they see a blinker and won’t let us over.
    It just gives all trucks a bad name and makes us all look like idiots.
