With the exception of not maintaining his lane at the beginning, I don't see how this is aggressive driving. I'm sure YouTube is full of real agressive truck drivers. I'm sure you could post a better video than this one. It seems to me that this driver is trying to get some where; which, is the whole reason we are out here.
misterG Thanks this. -
I had to watch it a few times at first thought maybe he might had blinker on and idiot 4 wheeler speed up then driver sped up maybe realized car in front was going to slow and kept going.
but once I re-watched the video a couple of times it seems to me only thing he did was fail to maintain Lane, which could have been a speed factor mixed with the rain. Or he was distracted in cab realized he drifted and corrected. Just my 2 cents -
Sorry I should explain more. Before this occurred about five six miles I tried to give the right of way to the ambulance & I slowed down then this driver almost rarend me. I didn't slow down deliberately but this driver start tailgating me to retaliate even worst he passed me on the right as you see on the camera and swing his truck toward me deliberately to scare me.This is really unprofessional.
-
As you pointed out you had to slow down ok np there but in my book with you saying now above there were 2 wrongs committed here. 1st truck shouldn't been tailgating you, and second if you are going slow enough to where one can pass on right then then maybe you should have moved to the right lane. Oh but that right you a four wheeler so it's ok not to move over I get it now just because you wouldn't move over makes trucker move over and pass trucker is wrong ok if you wanna think that.
i bet you also one of those people who coming onto a freeway don't even bother to look out your mirror and feel that the trucks have to yield to you when they flying down the road and can't figure out why you just been pushed to the shoulder.misterG, Boy Howdey and pattyj Thank this. -
I could be wrong but two wrong can't be right. Let me make it more clear I am on the right lane he passed me on the right lane (which is exit lane) as I said earlier he swing his truck toward me while he exiting the hi way.The point I am trying to make is to use your truck as weapon is not right.
-
Maybe the driver was screwing with his telephone while driving. Or with you. Either one ain't right. On the other hand, his exit was coming up too, and he was hitting the brakes for that exit right before your video ended.
(edited after I saw your video is from a dash cam) -
Something to remember is that truck drivers are human, although you would hope a professional would be above acting like an idiot unfortunately it will happen, there are bad apples in every bushel.
ddagne Thanks this. -
Well from video looks there are 4 lanes and you are in 2nd Lane and it looks like he passed you on right and then he exited. maybe if the whole video was there and if driver did pass then, Cut back over you would be correct he was definetly in wrong. I'll watch it again but it looks he passed you in right lane and took exit.
but way I see it as I stated before you were in number 2 Lane and didn't move over, if there isn't 4 lanes in that video then I need my eyes checked. You both in the wrong -
The right lane is the travel lane,the other lanes are for passing." keep right except to pass" signs are everywhere.
