i drive an f150 and im blown away by the ammount of cars who follow so close behind me that i can barely see the top of their roof...like wth? if i stop suddenly my trailer hitch is going through your engine
Both drivers in the clip are idiots to me... Obviously the guy in the van should have merged earlier, but the trucker was just as much of an asshole in response. You can easily see & hear him standing on it, so the van COULDN'T get over. If the first vehicle hadn't slid over to the left, the other 2 would've crashed into each other right then... Soon as they were both in the same lane, watch the trucker then speeding faster than BOTH LEFT LANES to try and run up on the van's ass. Both dumbasses in my book. Glad they both took an L!
@@Chris_de_S I wouldn't say allowed, but it makes it much easier for us to get away with. And yeah, there's no way I would've done what this truck driver did. That van would've been my new hood ornament
@@RobinBoBobbin With brake checkers, I love pretending like I’m about to go around them and then faking it. I’ve had them instinctively move to the next lane to try to block me…then I speed up in my exact same lane like I’m about to pass them but fake it once again by slowing down. They instinctively try to jump back in front of me (immediately after switching) and usually lose control and fly off the road. It doesn’t work THAT often, but it’s a great laugh whenever it does.
For most of these brake checks I find myself wishing the video just had the truck continue without braking at all, shove them right off the road, and continue as if it didn't even happen
Yea the only problem with that is, truck companies usually don’t care if it’s the truckers fault or not, yes of course they hope it’s not the trucker who caused the accident but in the long run it’s still a mark on their license, which is pretty shitty.
@@aidencampbell9120 - its always the truck drivers fault. At least now with dash cams you can cover your ass a little. I got a ticket once when someone ran the red light when I was turning left and a green, and I was put at fault because I was in a truck (and my only witness refused to talk to the cops). wish I had a dash cam at the time but it was like 12 years ago and I couldn’t afford it then.
Just wait till you’re on the highway in a 2 door coupe and a huge 18 wheeler pulls up right on your ass while you’re both doing 90, you’ll probably rethink it. Especially when the driver is flipping you off the whole time, and then tries to run you off the road merging into the fast lane that you’re trying to avoid him in. A big “fuck you” is in accordance for those types of drivers.
Oh you have no idea. Some ppl have absolutely no brains and how they have stayed alive as long as they have is astonishing with the crap they pull. I have had I don't know how many idiots try to outrun my truck coming into the freeway from on ramps. If I have no where to go I'm not going to switch lanes and kill someone driving normally so I have put a bunch of cars into the ditch because of that.
The same goes the other way too. If the driver of the "big rig"can't adjust his speed to match traffic in the far right "slow or local" lane, then maybe he should move to the left or slow down.
I like when a truck has sn ass load of lights on it & has to pull over on the shoulder for one reason or another & someone hits them in the ass end even though they light up the sky better than the sun.
I know truckers like to drive the middle lane and fucks traffic up.... I don't drive 53' but being in a 26' truck if traffic is faster then myself I stay in the far right lane.... Semi drivers don't give a fuck they will continue to ride the middle.... or so how it was in Ohio and now South Carolina
Typical of her type here in Charlotte. She felt “disrespected” cause he wouldn’t let her cut in line (this intersection has signs for over half a mile stating right lane turn only from 485 exit all the way to Matthews-Mint Hill rd).
Lots of folks are lucky they are not in Russia where the big rig driver do not care if you brake check as they will not reduce speed and will smack you right off the road and then keep on truckin'.
Wouldn't it be great if after all these bad behaviors we were given permission to just ram them. Then when we show the videos to police they say, "yeah well they had it coming"
I would make sure the dashcam was rolling and half ass brake. Tap their rear bumper then say something like "I'm in a big truck officer. If I braked any harder then I could jackknife." The troopers know semis can't slow down as fast as cars. Troopers don't like dealing with overturned trucks on highways I'm sure.
@@stupidchartboy yup..and still he said he thinks that trucker overreacted. I agree. he seen the pulling out way back and didn't even touch the brake til he started swirving
@@stupidchartboy It's hilarious to me how Truckers and Bikers have these built in excuses that they think are completely irrefutable. 🤣🤣 That truck had PLENTY of time to slow down. Also, the car DID stop at the stop sign, You can see their vehicle lurch stop, then continue going. How 99% of the population treats a stop sign.
@@beardy3792 And it's clear that the trucker was still slowing down fast enough to not have hit the car, he just wanted to honk and drive off the road instead of using his brakes
I’ve been driving for years & years & years & years. A long freaking time. And I’ve never felt more of a need for a dashcam as I do now. I’m not exaggerating when I say there’s a crappy driver incident every single day. And I live in small town, too.
I live in a small town too. There aren’t that many road rage jerks here thank god. It’s mostly people in the newer Jeep’s that are total idiots. Sorry that I’m not going to drive recklessly and put my unborn child’s life at risk?🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Most drivers though make it way harder on themselves. When narrowing avoiding one accident, they happily invite another by following the guy, trying to make a point. Unfortunately, one idiot has little chance of teaching another idiot anything useful.
Surprisingly, I have not experience too much road rage. I do not believe it is that common. I did have some guy smirk at me after cutting me off..But I am like okay, whatever lol!
Imagine being that stupid not to realize how many law abiding AND non-law abiding citizens area on the road with personal protection just a hands-reach away...
Honestly, as someone who understands the risks in a semi braking AND swerving (a severe loss of control and an even greater danger to self and others, as demonstrated in many of these videos), the safest thing to do when brake checked is actually to hit the brake checker, also serves as a lesson. Win win.
Dude at 2:30 doesn’t know how a zipper works and then gets so pissed that he tries to smash in a stranger’s window? He needs to get a grip. License should be revoked.
I can't really tell, but it looks like the car *did* stop, or at least didn't totally blow through the sign at speed. That's why they're going slow at the merge. That said, that's a bag intersection. The sign is way before the line, it looks like a merge, not a stop, and the angle makes checking for traffic really hard. (You have to look left and back, not just left.) That intersection is designed to cause accidents.
His GPS indicates that his speed increased. He had lots of time to blow the horn but didn't start slowing down until well into it. Yeah, the car was at fault but it also seemed a bit over dramatic to me as well.
@@lornes7526 I mean my pops 85 mack cabover could stop from 65 pulling 65t in 600ft...I think it may be a bit more 750ft but point still stands driver had AMPLE time to slow...he sped up instead
@@MrPland1992 Unless I misunderstand your comment. You can't have the ramp get clogged up because of people on the highway not letting people in because they have their right of way. Murica has many things not being a law and it's just stupid. Here you zipper merge, it's even signed because people are retards for not doing it properly.
then they would legally be allowed to hit you and you incur the damage to the trailer and truck at your own risk. you may also lose your regular license for driving if its bad enough and they have proof. it's happened before.
Whenever I can , I always let the truckers in or give them the right away. Try and make up for the other *"A- H()Les"* they got to deal with while on the road. Some are saying, truckers are just as bad but where's the video for it then. A lot of people in regular cars have dash cams too nowadays. I'm getting one for myself for my birthday present. Wish I could get a three cam set up similar to what Tesla has. And be able to record also, I know the Tesla's have more than three cams , all I need is front, back and and passenger side.
I never forget the lesson I learned when I started driving: you can only move to the lane in front of a truck (driving on a flat surface) if you see the front tires of a truck in your rearview mirror. and never, ever do that going downhill. you never know the weight of the truck's load.
I generally like to make sure the truck is fully visible in my mirrors, and I’m going atleast the speed of the truck or faster before I decide to move in front of it
How about look in your mirror & if you don't think that truck can fully & safely stop in time if you have to spike the brakes, then don't move over yet? If a deer, or child, or whatever- runs out in front off you (yes, even on a highway) you're going to forget about the 80,000 lbs., 70mph truck behind you...until it's in your back seat. I never understood the big rush to get in front of someone? Put the signal on so the pushy idiot behind you knows you plan to move over, & then do it only when safe. Take care.
That first clip is why I just slow down and let people over when I'm driving big rigs. No sense in getting in conflict over something so small. Ive noticed alot of other truckers have serious road rage.
@Erika Robinson not really possible. Every business needs a tractor trailer loaded with stuff. We could go back to shipping everything by railroad and have the trucks drive locally from the railroad. Nobody would want to go back to that because nobody wants to wait 3 weeks for a delivery
@@brettcatterall7761 deserves it? really? if you are in the right lane you have to let people on. especially if there are more than two lanes. its just ignorant. he had other lanes to choose from. and why so fast in the right. and then chasing him. he should have his liscense pulled.
@@mkrulic517439 yeah that bully of trucker got a taste of his own medication. He wanted to play now hes got to pay. I hope the insurance company saw the truckers video driving recklessly. Did you watch the same video i did?
11:07 man that was kinda… an over reaction. You say you have 80000 pounds so sure you might not have been able to slow down enough, in this case you wouldn’t have hit the guy but to give you the benefit of the doubt we’ll say it was a close call, but rear ending someone who cut you off is a wayyyy better out come imo than swerving 80000 pounds and flipping the truck.
@@kevinbennett1811 taking brakes out of the equation in general he’s in a truck i would be more than happy to run into the back of someone’s car than run into a ditch if i think I’m gonna hit them. It’s situational though. If the car is completely stopped and I’m going 40 i would definitely avoid the hit because in that case I’d be at fault and that has potential to cause serious harm to the other. In this case it would be the cars fault for pulling out in front of the truck and seeing as the car was accelerating in the same direction the impact would not have been severe and just crushed the bumper and probably shattered the back window but its not like it would have caved half the car in on itself. Not saying he had time to think about all that but that’s why you think about the situations ahead of time
Right? If that stressed him out so much he almost took his truck into the ditch he has no business driving a semi. Imagine his reaction in any of the other clips in this video. I’ve dealt with far worse than that and have managed to keep it on the road
Look I live in Pennsylvania and the drivers from Pittsburgh would kill hundreds just to keep on going I almost died 5 times because 2 as pedestrians and 3 and cars so Pittsburgh people are CRAZY
It's not just rear ending a car, it's knowing whoever was in the car would not survive if you hit them hard enough, and not knowing if they were going to slam their brakes in the process, since they had enough sense to blow a stop sign already.
Came here to comment the same Thing. Glad someone else noticed. He’s Probably the one doing the cutting off when In normal vehicles and then over reacting.
YES, he did overreact at that moment. Sitting on the horn isn’t going make a driver go faster. Just deal with other drivers being on the roadway too. You’re not the only driver out there. Sometimes to have to slow down for things…….deal with it! I live in south Florida and get cut off several times a day. I anticipate it….I know it’s going to happen so when it does it’s no oh deal. Try slowing down too when there’s a lot of traffic……since you’re hauling that heavy load don’t be so heavy with your foot on the accelerator.
Those other truckers are sick of being tied up behind a truck that's doing 57 in a 65, or 65 in a 70, all while holding up the middle lane. For the last 20 years, no one teaches etiquette out here anymore, it's all, me, me, me.
@@spirittammyk Lmfao, no truck company hires illegal immigrants, you doughnut. You people are so obsessed with "illegal immigrants" that you make up nonsense. 😂😂
Yea the job is exhausting. We just wanna keep America rolling in peace. We are away from our family for weeks and months and gotta deal with everyone hating us. It is some ass hole truckers out here but most of us just wanna work
My uncle was a highly respected Teamster so Dad taught us early on what semis' needed for space on the streets and highways and to pay attention to those needs. Give them room for turning radius at lights, pass on uphill, yield on downhill, flick lights when they've got a car length in front of you to come into lane. Drafting's fun but don't do it without permission.
10:49 sees a problem ahead, accelerates till it's much closer, then go in for the horn/accelerator combo and fly off the road for that extra drama, all this in a f-ing truck! Guy is a danger to everyone on the road
@@yakzivz1104 Really. What an idiot. He could've just stayed behind the car, he didn't even need to brake, because the car sped up enough to keep well ahead of him. I think he's just being a diva.
@Aslo didn't need to stop, just slow down. If he was driving defensively he would have been off the gas when he saw the stop sign and people merging. He was running up on the white truck ahead of that car at good speed as well.
6:00 went from being in to much of a hurry to be slightly inconvenienced by a semi to having all the time in the world to inconvenience so many others.
The trucker handled it the right way but man would it be tempting to see how far you had to push her pretty little Pilot before she got off the brakes and on the gas.
From watching the films, there are alot of times, if the drivers showed the slightest bit of courtesy and patience instead of demanding their right of way, most of the "accidents" could have been avoided.
trucker at 10:50 doesn't deserve a CDL. I know that exact intersection and can't figure out why he had to go off the road lmao. he never even touched the brakes?
As a trucker I can safely say he had more than enough time to slow down. Dude is over dramatic as hell. Caused more damage by swerving off the road for no reason. Then calls 911 like a bitch
@@kdot3698 so true. He could of kept it at 44mph and still not hit the car. What an idiot. Hahaha he messed up that poor truck for no reason. I weighted that much before and could slow the truck more faster then messing up the truck Jake break and down shift
This is exactly why I could drive for a living. I commend all these semi drivers for their patience. I can't understand how you put up with this on a daily basis.
Like calling 911 for running a stop sign? Lmfao here in NY they’d call you every name in the book and hang up lmfao gtfo they’d explain to you that 911 is for actual emergencies
for an 80k load, you need around 525 feet to brake, which is almost twice as much as a car (around 300). also, there was definitely less than 150 feet between where the truck was and where the stop sign was (when the car stopped, but it didnt even completely stop lol it def did a rolling stop), its also quite reckless to do that if you dont know if the semi is empty or fully loaded
Yeah, honestly the semi truck didn’t want to let someone get in front of him, so instead, he decided to try and chase the driver after getting infront of him and tailgate him to fulfill his own entitled ego.
the trucker was wrong all around. too fast in the left. not letting people on the highway, if you are in the left you need to let people on the highway, especially a long truck. chasing the guy, not professional.
@@precisionxfilms9784 I dont get the morons in the comments like you, someone does some stupid shit and they blame the victim for getting mad. LMAO People are brainless these days. Ego or no ego, he had the right to do whatever he wanted, he had priority, period.
Brake checking is an offense in all 50 states. A citation if it doesn’t result in an accident, a misdemeanor if it does and a felony if it results in death. In 36 states, you have the right to ram the brake checker out of the way and run to the nearest police station if you believe that the person doing it is trying to stop you to rob you. All states west of the Mississippi allow this due to some high profile truck hijackings in the 1980s where the truckers were killed. The trucking industry got the “ram and run “ laws passed to protect their drivers. They are still on the books in 36 states but most cops, judges and drivers don’t know about them. They have been forgotten.
@NitroLPR9 In order to be ran off the road you have to be beside them? Get out of a semi's way We have far too many things to be paying attention to than to you sitting on our left rear quarter panel taking too long to pass. If you get run off the road by a semi it's your fault for being in his way
Love the captions especially the “Trailer Twerk” and I love the one that said the lady at fault had to pay for all damages including his coffee maker in his truck lol
The asshole in the Merc was totally wrong. One from the left, one from the right. Like Griffin Contracting said, when he blocked my escape route and started to open his door I would have stomped that truck to the floor and aimed the bumper for his door. The guy is obviously unstable, angry, and entitled. You have no idea what he's going to do once he's out of his car and you're stuck behind the wheel. A cave is a grave. A vehicle is a cave. If he pulls a weapon you can't defend yourself. Time to take action.
@@FlamingBasketballClub The pick-up driver merged correctly, letting a car in front of him / her. The Merc driver should have merged behind the pick-up Instead he started bullying the pick-up driver. He was 100% wrong.
There should be a 10 foot extendable ram rod on every semi truck bumper. Sort of like a huge meat probe. Zero damage to the semi and max damage to the ""break checkers". Truckers deserve more respect.
After about a minute of that I would've started driving. If she swerved in front of me, I'd try to avoid her, but if she swerves to put herself in front of me again, she's made her fucking choice to total her own car and risk bodily harm. I would not swerve again and just keep going.
I will never understand why people feel the need to pass, and then slow down. I don't care if I'm ahead, or behind. All I ask is that anyone who passes me maintain the speed that they were doing when they caught up to me.

Seriously lol i mean, it seemed like he just needed to brake a little bit. They were so far ahead of him that it didn't seem necessary. And calling 911?! I thought that is illegal if there isn't an emergency? Lol
17:33 I will never understand why people get in front of you and press their brakes 🤦🏾♀️ Just wait and go behind! The lady in the white Honda Pilot is A hole
11:05 hold on... you called 911...? You called the emergency number to tell them what exactly? That someone did not yield and you panicked and tried to slow down and pulled off the road for a couple of seconds but nothing was damaged and no one was injured? Why the hell would you call 911?
I called 911 once AFTER I took an exit and got off the highway ..... sat on the shoulder and reported a beer truck that was swerving from the right land to the center over to the left back to the center to the right, onto the shoulder, rinse and repeat ..... no way I wanted to be on that stretch of highway (I knew another route to get to my destination) ..... gave the operator the name of the beer company, tag number, and a bunch of other numbers from the rear end of the truck ..... even the phone number to call to report "How Am I Driving". Lucky I was able to right with my right hand while steering with my left and keeping enough distance but close enough to see the info. I told the operator "I just pulled on of I-XX on exit Q and I paced the truck at YY speed before doing so. And , no, I will not get back on the road and catch up with the truck and keep you on the line while we wait for a cop car to catch up with us." (Yeah, the operator started to chew me out for not staying on the road behind the truck and staying on the phone with her to give her updates on the markers as we passed them ...... no way did I want to stay behind that truck if it wrecked.)
@@Daimxn she’s in a right turn only lane, she’s not even allowed to change lanes. I suspect those barricades were set up to prevent idiots like her from doing what she wanted to.
Hilarious! At 2:45 minutes into the clip. The song, "That's what friends are for" is playing as the man tries kicking out the window of the truck......lololol
Steve Stowell-Virtue 0 seconds ago 13:56 - 16:23 The center lane is the passing lane for trucks because in many/most places they are not allowed in the far left lane if there are three or more lanes. Cammer is blocking the center lane; running slower than other truck traffic. The drivers that are passing him and slowing down, cutting him off etc. are trying to tell him he needs to get out of the way and let others go. You can hear his music playing and no CB radio. If he had a CB I'm sure you'd hear other drivers "asking" him to move right.
Yeah, I was wondering if the norm was different in America or something, but no the cammer is just an idiot - or inexperienced, we all have to learn. Either way he's about to get a talking to at the next truckstop I think.
Exactly! Drivers that don't keep to the right lane and camp out in the middle lane are the most annoying drivers out there. Like you said, we can't use the left lane in many places where there's 3+ lanes, and this guy is hitting in our passing lane pacing the right lane. Just get in the right lane if you're going the same speed as that traffic! While I don't condone what the other drivers did, I definitely understand why it was done as I have wanted to do this same thing many, many times.
You can’t reason with those types of people. They are known to be highly aggressive due to high testosterone and low IQ. It’ll be like trying to reason with an orangutan throwing feces at you.
All the Mercedes driver had to do was slow down and get behind the truck since the car following behind the truck backed off and gave enough space to do so
@@fedor5664 mercedes are known to be shitty cars that those types buy used cause they have terrible resale value so they are able to afford them and think they are ballers
10:53 the dude was already past the stop sign and he had way more than enough space to turn before the trucker caught up, he should have already been slowing down when he saw them going slow up there
He couldn't slow down because of 80,000 pound load. I use to load trucks. For instants.. rolls of paper, weigh thousands of pounds each. When you load the truck, you load 3 rolls in a triangle in the front of the truck and another 3 in the middle of the truck. They are atrapped around one another. Problem is, if you have to stop quick, those rolls could fall over, taking out your entire trailer. They literally can only slow down a little at a time.
@@LoveofTheMysticalBodyOfChrist He had plenty of time to slow down safely and like you probably saw some dude said he even sped up after seeing there were cars up there, its also a safe assumption to turn if the next vehicle is way up the road
@@LoveofTheMysticalBodyOfChrist you missed the part where the trucker picked up speed. Situational awareness is everything. What he did was make the situation worse by speeding up to prove a his little dick complex. You don't need a highschool education to realize that just slowing down is the wise choice.
This isn’t a knock at you man, but my father has been a truck driver/ owner operator or multiple styles of Riggs with everything from Hopper to Propane.

@@bryanblack526 if you're getting passed from the right, maybe you yourself should have been driving in the right lane. I don't know how trucks work where you're from, but where I'm from, 95% of the time they're the slowest vehicles on the highway, so they can get themselves to the rightmost lane and clear the rest of the road so that faster vehicles can pass them.
@nickklavdianos5136 I say again, if you're passing me on the right you're driving down the shoulder. Learn to read, comprehension would help as well.I don't know about you but where I'm from driving down the SHOULDER is fairly fuckin stupid.
16:50 - YES, it *SHOULD* be, and it *WILL* be, eventually, as dashcams become something almost everyone installs. If someone brake checks more than three times... punt them the hell off the road - make sure the vehicle is properly immobilized - and continue on for a couple miles to a 'safe' location away from the potential cargo pirates.
I like Gallagher's idea of giving everybody a gun that shoots suction cup darts. When someone does something obnoxious or stupid, you shoot a dart at his trunk, and when the cops see a car with more than a couple of darts, they pull him over and give him a ticket for being an asshole.

New rule: When u brake check a semi, u lose ur license for a year minimum. When u brake check a semi WHILE IN A SEMI, u lose ur commercial license for life.
The car drivers payment is probably death or serious injury for the car. A semi getting brake checked by another semi other hand can injury the truck driver pretty bad. A semi driver should obviously know better. I know I'm really raising the bar low but there's so many dumb asses on the street.

@@RobinBoBobbinyep it’s out of control road rage now. Like the wild Wild West on the I75 and I95.
that's not the word I would have used, but sure. Let's go with insane.
@@RobinBoBobbin With brake checkers, I love pretending like I’m about to go around them and then faking it. I’ve had them instinctively move to the next lane to try to block me…then I speed up in my exact same lane like I’m about to pass them but fake it once again by slowing down. They instinctively try to jump back in front of me (immediately after switching) and usually lose control and fly off the road. It doesn’t work THAT often, but it’s a great laugh whenever it does.
For most of these brake checks I find myself wishing the video just had the truck continue without braking at all, shove them right off the road, and continue as if it didn't even happen
Yea the only problem with that is, truck companies usually don’t care if it’s the truckers fault or not, yes of course they hope it’s not the trucker who caused the accident but in the long run it’s still a mark on their license, which is pretty shitty.
Fr they're better than me 😭 like that white car Karen I would have kept driving and just pushed her along
@@rynoaecklin4841 I would have pushed that Karen into traffic and watch her crap herself.

@@aidencampbell9120 - its always the truck drivers fault. At least now with dash cams you can cover your ass a little. I got a ticket once when someone ran the red light when I was turning left and a green, and I was put at fault because I was in a truck (and my only witness refused to talk to the cops). wish I had a dash cam at the time but it was like 12 years ago and I couldn’t afford it then.
I never knew ruck drivers went through so much crap. I'm blown away. Kudos to all the big rig drivers out there.
Just wait till you’re on the highway in a 2 door coupe and a huge 18 wheeler pulls up right on your ass while you’re both doing 90, you’ll probably rethink it. Especially when the driver is flipping you off the whole time, and then tries to run you off the road merging into the fast lane that you’re trying to avoid him in. A big “fuck you” is in accordance for those types of drivers.
it gets worse that's just a small taste of the bullshyt we go through
99% of the stress we deal with comes from fellow truck drivers…
Oh you have no idea. Some ppl have absolutely no brains and how they have stayed alive as long as they have is astonishing with the crap they pull. I have had I don't know how many idiots try to outrun my truck coming into the freeway from on ramps. If I have no where to go I'm not going to switch lanes and kill someone driving normally so I have put a bunch of cars into the ditch because of that.
There is just as many horrible truck drivers too though to be fair
Idiots that claim that they didn't see something as big as a Big Rig heading towards them are blind and shouldn't have a driver's license!
Even Stevie Wonder could of seen that truck! 😂
The same goes the other way too. If the driver of the "big rig"can't adjust his speed to match traffic in the far right "slow or local" lane, then maybe he should move to the left or slow down.
I like when a truck has sn ass load of lights on it & has to pull over on the shoulder for one reason or another & someone hits them in the ass end even though they light up the sky better than the sun.
@@michaelmay7917 A lot of states have laws where trucks can't be in left lane.
I know truckers like to drive the middle lane and fucks traffic up.... I don't drive 53' but being in a 26' truck if traffic is faster then myself I stay in the far right lane.... Semi drivers don't give a fuck they will continue to ride the middle.... or so how it was in Ohio and now South Carolina

Typical of her type here in Charlotte. She felt “disrespected” cause he wouldn’t let her cut in line (this intersection has signs for over half a mile stating right lane turn only from 485 exit all the way to Matthews-Mint Hill rd).
The jackassery of a thought process that includes, "Imma brake check that semi behind me..."

And the jackassery of people who can't merge using the zipper method!
Feeling sorry for those truck drivers though. That job looks hard enough without having to deal with these idiots.

Lots of folks are lucky they are not in Russia where the big rig driver do not care if you brake check as they will not reduce speed and will smack you right off the road and then keep on truckin'.
It should be legal to give brakecheckers an 80,000lb Suppository.
Honestly IMO trying to avoid a brake checker is a needlessly dangerous maneuver. Keep to the lane, come to a controlled stop.
as they should.
Wouldn't it be great if after all these bad behaviors we were given permission to just ram them. Then when we show the videos to police they say, "yeah well they had it coming"
I would make sure the dashcam was rolling and half ass brake. Tap their rear bumper then say something like "I'm in a big truck officer. If I braked any harder then I could jackknife." The troopers know semis can't slow down as fast as cars. Troopers don't like dealing with overturned trucks on highways I'm sure.
I have so much love and respect for our truckers, they get us what we need and want when we want and people should remember that more often
Nah. Truckers deserve respect only when they offer it to those they share a road with. That's RARE.

@@beardy3792 And it's clear that the trucker was still slowing down fast enough to not have hit the car, he just wanted to honk and drive off the road instead of using his brakes
I’ve been driving for years & years & years & years. A long freaking time. And I’ve never felt more of a need for a dashcam as I do now. I’m not exaggerating when I say there’s a crappy driver incident every single day. And I live in small town, too.
I live in a small town too. There aren’t that many road rage jerks here thank god. It’s mostly people in the newer Jeep’s that are total idiots. Sorry that I’m not going to drive recklessly and put my unborn child’s life at risk?🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Most drivers though make it way harder on themselves. When narrowing avoiding one accident, they happily invite another by following the guy, trying to make a point. Unfortunately, one idiot has little chance of teaching another idiot anything useful.
I think too many people are texting and driving
Surprisingly, I have not experience too much road rage. I do not believe it is that common. I did have some guy smirk at me after cutting me off..But I am like okay, whatever lol!

Honestly, as someone who understands the risks in a semi braking AND swerving (a severe loss of control and an even greater danger to self and others, as demonstrated in many of these videos), the safest thing to do when brake checked is actually to hit the brake checker, also serves as a lesson. Win win.

My thoughts exactly 🤣
The Blue truck at 11:04, Driver you were being over dramatic. Wasn’t even close.
I can't really tell, but it looks like the car *did* stop, or at least didn't totally blow through the sign at speed. That's why they're going slow at the merge. That said, that's a bag intersection. The sign is way before the line, it looks like a merge, not a stop, and the angle makes checking for traffic really hard. (You have to look left and back, not just left.) That intersection is designed to cause accidents.
His GPS indicates that his speed increased. He had lots of time to blow the horn but didn't start slowing down until well into it. Yeah, the car was at fault but it also seemed a bit over dramatic to me as well.
For sure. No chance of hitting them. And even if so, no need to go wayyyyyyyyyyy off the road like that

Some are saying, truckers are just as bad but where's the video for it then. A lot of people in regular cars have dash cams too nowadays.
I'm getting one for myself for my birthday present. Wish I could get a three cam set up similar to what Tesla has.
And be able to record also, I know the Tesla's have more than three cams , all I need is front, back and and passenger side.
I never forget the lesson I learned when I started driving: you can only move to the lane in front of a truck (driving on a flat surface) if you see the front tires of a truck in your rearview mirror. and never, ever do that going downhill. you never know the weight of the truck's load.
I generally like to make sure the truck is fully visible in my mirrors, and I’m going atleast the speed of the truck or faster before I decide to move in front of it
If i can see the whole truck in my review mirror im about a 100 yards in front then ill switch over.
I usually wait until I can see the top of the truck in my mirror
How about look in your mirror & if you don't think that truck can fully & safely stop in time if you have to spike the brakes, then don't move over yet? If a deer, or child, or whatever- runs out in front off you (yes, even on a highway) you're going to forget about the 80,000 lbs., 70mph truck behind you...until it's in your back seat. I never understood the big rush to get in front of someone? Put the signal on so the pushy idiot behind you knows you plan to move over, & then do it only when safe. Take care.
That first clip is why I just slow down and let people over when I'm driving big rigs. No sense in getting in conflict over something so small. Ive noticed alot of other truckers have serious road rage.
I hate to say it but he deserved that. Closing the gap on him and blowing his horn. Still really dumb to brake check. Van almost got it
@Erika Robinson not really possible. Every business needs a tractor trailer loaded with stuff. We could go back to shipping everything by railroad and have the trucks drive locally from the railroad. Nobody would want to go back to that because nobody wants to wait 3 weeks for a delivery

“Insurance is paying for everything, including the coffee maker in my truck”😂
11:07 man that was kinda… an over reaction. You say you have 80000 pounds so sure you might not have been able to slow down enough, in this case you wouldn’t have hit the guy but to give you the benefit of the doubt we’ll say it was a close call, but rear ending someone who cut you off is a wayyyy better out come imo than swerving 80000 pounds and flipping the truck.
I'm no truck driver but couldn't he hit the jakebrake or drop a gear or two real quick to slow it down? He had plenty of room imo
@@kevinbennett1811 taking brakes out of the equation in general he’s in a truck i would be more than happy to run into the back of someone’s car than run into a ditch if i think I’m gonna hit them. It’s situational though. If the car is completely stopped and I’m going 40 i would definitely avoid the hit because in that case I’d be at fault and that has potential to cause serious harm to the other. In this case it would be the cars fault for pulling out in front of the truck and seeing as the car was accelerating in the same direction the impact would not have been severe and just crushed the bumper and probably shattered the back window but its not like it would have caved half the car in on itself. Not saying he had time to think about all that but that’s why you think about the situations ahead of time
Right? If that stressed him out so much he almost took his truck into the ditch he has no business driving a semi. Imagine his reaction in any of the other clips in this video. I’ve dealt with far worse than that and have managed to keep it on the road
Look I live in Pennsylvania and the drivers from Pittsburgh would kill hundreds just to keep on going I almost died 5 times because 2 as pedestrians and 3 and cars so Pittsburgh people are CRAZY
It's not just rear ending a car, it's knowing whoever was in the car would not survive if you hit them hard enough, and not knowing if they were going to slam their brakes in the process, since they had enough sense to blow a stop sign already.
11:00 I'm a trucker and this dude overreacted. Plus, blowing the horn scares some drivers making them slam on brakes
I was saying the same thing I drive aswell and this guy was definitely overreacting
Right on how shameful it was what a "CDL Baby" had to call 911 then do a truck and trailer inspection and probably changed his diaper lol.
I thought the saMe thing. This guy had a mile of space to pull out plus he's in a car. He can accelerate faster then the truck.
Came here to comment the same
Thing. Glad someone else noticed. He’s Probably the one doing the cutting off when In normal vehicles and then over reacting.
YES, he did overreact at that moment. Sitting on the horn isn’t going make a driver go faster. Just deal with other drivers being on the roadway too. You’re not the only driver out there. Sometimes to have to slow down for things…….deal with it! I live in south Florida and get cut off several times a day. I anticipate it….I know it’s going to happen so when it does it’s no oh deal. Try slowing down too when there’s a lot of traffic……since you’re hauling that heavy load don’t be so heavy with your foot on the accelerator.
@6:22 I would've turned the footage over to law enforcement and have her charged with reckless driving!
Anyone who brake checks should automatically lose their license for a period of 10 years and be forced to sell any and all vehicles they own.
Hearing "That's What Friends are For" in the background during the roadrage incident was hilarious!! Timing is everything! 🤣🤣
I was amazed how many big truckers are jerks to other truckers. I always thought they would look out for each other!? 🤔
Most of them do, but there are always some dickheads
They just want traffic and other truckers to meet their expectations and when they don’t they get upset.
Those other truckers are sick of being tied up behind a truck that's doing 57 in a 65, or 65 in a 70, all while holding up the middle lane. For the last 20 years, no one teaches etiquette out here anymore, it's all, me, me, me.

My uncle was a highly respected Teamster so Dad taught us early on what semis' needed for space on the streets and highways and to pay attention to those needs. Give them room for turning radius at lights, pass on uphill, yield on downhill, flick lights when they've got a car length in front of you to come into lane. Drafting's fun but don't do it without permission.
10:49 sees a problem ahead, accelerates till it's much closer, then go in for the horn/accelerator combo and fly off the road for that extra drama, all this in a f-ing truck! Guy is a danger to everyone on the road

@@yakzivz1104 Really. What an idiot. He could've just stayed behind the car, he didn't even need to brake, because the car sped up enough to keep well ahead of him. I think he's just being a diva.

@Aslo didn't need to stop, just slow down. If he was driving defensively he would have been off the gas when he saw the stop sign and people merging. He was running up on the white truck ahead of that car at good speed as well.

for an 80k load, you need around 525 feet to brake, which is almost twice as much as a car (around 300). also, there was definitely less than 150 feet between where the truck was and where the stop sign was (when the car stopped, but it didnt even completely stop lol it def did a rolling stop), its also quite reckless to do that if you dont know if the semi is empty or fully loaded

The real victory here.
Brake checking a semi should be a felony.
Brake checking *ANYONE* should be a felony - particularly on highways where the checked individual is exposed to being struck by other traffic.
Brake checking is an offense in all 50 states. A citation if it doesn’t result in an accident, a misdemeanor if it does and a felony if it results in death. In 36 states, you have the right to ram the brake checker out of the way and run to the nearest police station if you believe that the person doing it is trying to stop you to rob you. All states west of the Mississippi allow this due to some high profile truck hijackings in the 1980s where the truckers were killed. The trucking industry got the “ram and run “ laws passed to protect their drivers. They are still on the books in 36 states but most cops, judges and drivers don’t know about them. They have been forgotten.
after i installed a BULL GUARD on the tractor i have not been brake checked thank God
Nah when they get crushed like a can then they’ll learn their lesson.
@NitroLPR9 In order to be ran off the road you have to be beside them? Get out of a semi's way We have far too many things to be paying attention to than to you sitting on our left rear quarter panel taking too long to pass. If you get run off the road by a semi it's your fault for being in his way

@@georgewashington9058 it is also called impeding traffic as well as obstructing traffic both of which are punishable by up to 6 months in jail and up to $10,000 in fines for each infraction.
The truck driver should have laid on that horn until the end of time!!!!!
That’s charlotte Nc it doesn’t surprise me everyone does 90 in a 70 and is super ignorant I know this because I lived there for 23 years 😎 she probably just bought that shitter with her stimulus check.
Okay lol the guy at 11:00 definitely did not have to do that he freaked out for nothing lmaooo
Seriously lol i mean, it seemed like he just needed to brake a little bit. They were so far ahead of him that it didn't seem necessary. And calling 911?! I thought that is illegal if there isn't an emergency? Lol
@@viibii555 check the broken English. Immigrant trying to make a come up....
The timing of That's what friends are for. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
that overgrown baby slapping and kicking a pickup truck was hilarious
8:13 That trailer twerk comment made me laugh harder than it should have.
I knew that "trailer twerk" was familiar!! Dashcam Lessons, you never disappoint me
Watching road rage while listening to "That's what friends are for" 😂
17:33 I will never understand why people get in front of you and press their brakes 🤦🏾♀️ Just wait and go behind! The lady in the white Honda Pilot is A hole
I'd hit her car first time She breaks check me , its all on cam , her fault , She'd be ticketed .
I think its ego and spitefulness. Also it could just be that they are nuts.
I reckon she is cray cray on 'roids. Srsly, demented.
@@Vividvortexx huh? Watch it again. It's a semi!!!!!!
@@Vividvortexx he shoulda ran her off the fucking road. We shoot where I’m from.
11:05 hold on... you called 911...? You called the emergency number to tell them what exactly? That someone did not yield and you panicked and tried to slow down and pulled off the road for a couple of seconds but nothing was damaged and no one was injured? Why the hell would you call 911?
He is a Karen
He would stub his toe then call a ambulance
I called 911 once AFTER I took an exit and got off the highway ..... sat on the shoulder and reported a beer truck that was swerving from the right land to the center over to the left back to the center to the right, onto the shoulder, rinse and repeat ..... no way I wanted to be on that stretch of highway (I knew another route to get to my destination) ..... gave the operator the name of the beer company, tag number, and a bunch of other numbers from the rear end of the truck ..... even the phone number to call to report "How Am I Driving". Lucky I was able to right with my right hand while steering with my left and keeping enough distance but close enough to see the info. I told the operator "I just pulled on of I-XX on exit Q and I paced the truck at YY speed before doing so. And , no, I will not get back on the road and catch up with the truck and keep you on the line while we wait for a cop car to catch up with us." (Yeah, the operator started to chew me out for not staying on the road behind the truck and staying on the phone with her to give her updates on the markers as we passed them ...... no way did I want to stay behind that truck if it wrecked.)
@@tinydancer7426 wut?
@@levitibbit9195 What do you mean "wut"?
4:51 Had this happen to me once. I just laid on the horn the entire time she was yelling.
The trucker probably couldn't couldn't even see her In one of his many blind spots
"how hard it is to be a Karen" LMFAO
I think she's talking about how hard it is to be.....well you know.
Good to know
@@Daimxn she’s in a right turn only lane, she’s not even allowed to change lanes. I suspect those barricades were set up to prevent idiots like her from doing what she wanted to.
@@Sahadi420 you afraid to say black lil buddy? 😂
Hilarious! At 2:45 minutes into the clip. The song, "That's what friends are for" is playing as the man tries kicking out the window of the truck......lololol
Truck drivers should get our respect as they bring goods and other important items to our communities.
Every SOB trying to rage in a freaking benz, I’d be raging with that kind of payment too

13:56 - 16:23 The center lane is the passing lane for trucks because in many/most places they are not allowed in the far left lane if there are three or more lanes. Cammer is blocking the center lane; running slower than other truck traffic. The drivers that are passing him and slowing down, cutting him off etc. are trying to tell him he needs to get out of the way and let others go. You can hear his music playing and no CB radio. If he had a CB I'm sure you'd hear other drivers "asking" him to move right.
Yeah, I was wondering if the norm was different in America or something, but no the cammer is just an idiot - or inexperienced, we all have to learn. Either way he's about to get a talking to at the next truckstop I think.
Exactly! Drivers that don't keep to the right lane and camp out in the middle lane are the most annoying drivers out there. Like you said, we can't use the left lane in many places where there's 3+ lanes, and this guy is hitting in our passing lane pacing the right lane. Just get in the right lane if you're going the same speed as that traffic! While I don't condone what the other drivers did, I definitely understand why it was done as I have wanted to do this same thing many, many times.
Just imagine merging into a solid lane with a shitty mercedes and thinking that you have right of way…
I smell sarcasm (i hope)
You can’t reason with those types of people. They are known to be highly aggressive due to high testosterone and low IQ. It’ll be like trying to reason with an orangutan throwing feces at you.
The guy in Mercedes is a complete asshole and would of been on the ground had his dumbass starting kicking and hitting my vehicle !!
All the Mercedes driver had to do was slow down and get behind the truck since the car following behind the truck backed off and gave enough space to do so
@@fedor5664 mercedes are known to be shitty cars that those types buy used cause they have terrible resale value so they are able to afford them and think they are ballers
10:53 the dude was already past the stop sign and he had way more than enough space to turn before the trucker caught up, he should have already been slowing down when he saw them going slow up there
But hey, he is driving a semi and has a horn, no more brain capacity to reduce speed. If you look again, he even raises speed from 42 to 46 *facepalm*
He definitely had all the time in the world to slow down lol
He couldn't slow down because of 80,000 pound load. I use to load trucks. For instants.. rolls of paper, weigh thousands of pounds each. When you load the truck, you load 3 rolls in a triangle in the front of the truck and another 3 in the middle of the truck. They are atrapped around one another.
Problem is, if you have to stop quick, those rolls could fall over, taking out your entire trailer.
They literally can only slow down a little at a time.
@@LoveofTheMysticalBodyOfChrist He had plenty of time to slow down safely and like you probably saw some dude said he even sped up after seeing there were cars up there, its also a safe assumption to turn if the next vehicle is way up the road
@@LoveofTheMysticalBodyOfChrist you missed the part where the trucker picked up speed. Situational awareness is everything. What he did was make the situation worse by speeding up to prove a his little dick complex. You don't need a highschool education to realize that just slowing down is the wise choice.
This isn’t a knock at you man, but my father has been a truck driver/ owner operator or multiple styles of Riggs with everything from Hopper to Propane. He has driven in all 48 states and gone for days/ weeks/ months at a time. He can count on one hand how many of these moments he’s had in his career. People are dumb so stay safe out there.
he can count out the incidents on one hand that’s less than five 😂
The third scene with lady talking smack tho😂😂😂😂
Disability forced me into retirement but I always told other drivers if you're being passed on the right you're in the wrong lane.
Kinda right and kinda wrong. Definitely right in a two lane highway, but if the lanes start getting 3 or more then it's debatable.
@nickklavdianos5136 nope. Right period. I don't care if there's 50 lanes if you're passing me on the.right you're going down the shoulder.
@@bryanblack526 if you're getting passed from the right, maybe you yourself should have been driving in the right lane. I don't know how trucks work where you're from, but where I'm from, 95% of the time they're the slowest vehicles on the highway, so they can get themselves to the rightmost lane and clear the rest of the road so that faster vehicles can pass them.
@nickklavdianos5136 I say again, if you're passing me on the right you're driving down the shoulder. Learn to read, comprehension would help as well.I don't know about you but where I'm from driving down the SHOULDER is fairly fuckin stupid.
@4:23. Just 1 break check would be all she gets, next stop into the guard rail or ditch.
@Eric Larson really wouldn’t care this time
@Eric LarsonBut no husband.
16:50 - YES, it *SHOULD* be, and it *WILL* be, eventually, as dashcams become something almost everyone installs. If someone brake checks more than three times... punt them the hell off the road - make sure the vehicle is properly immobilized - and continue on for a couple miles to a 'safe' location away from the potential cargo pirates.
'punt them the hell off the road' Love it.🚔
I like Gallagher's idea of giving everybody a gun that shoots suction cup darts. When someone does something obnoxious or stupid, you shoot a dart at his trunk, and when the cops see a car with more than a couple of darts, they pull him over and give him a ticket for being an asshole.
@@hamletksquid2702 - I would prefer a paint gun… harder to remove the marking!
I carry a slingshot and a bag of solid rubber balls... I've taken a few back windows out with them and they're non-lethal but they sure scare the hell out of assholes.
@@hamletksquid2702 Only if you can flip a switch and the sticky dart EMPs the vehicle it's attached to.
Highway shoulders would be lined with disabled cars!
The way that guy sighed tho😂
Some people are their own worst enemies when it comes to having a good day
Im sorry but nimber 13 sighed at the end like “welp here we go again” I absolutely love his reaction
13:03 "ah he almost bit the dust" lmaooo
1:13 i always love this perspective. It's gotta be so easy to figure out traffic from that high up. Lucky truck drivers, man.
At 6:40, it was clear that the car on the right was going to have to merge yet the truck driver failed to allow a space to open up safely. Bad driving from the cammer, IMO.
The other car should have just got behind the camer
@@bleachfan2.029 Also true but that doesn't excuse the bad driving of the cammer.
That trucker was being an absolute jerk by not allowing that car to merge ahead of him.
you don’t pass semis on the right, they can’t see you
The truck driver that chose to hit the rail instead of smashing into the guys rear. Respect.
That guy kicking the pickup truck would get shot around here.
Came to say the same thing
I learned 2 things today.
1. Don't be within a 10 mile radius of a truck driver
2. *Truck Twerk*
1:04 if you think you're going to kick the door of my truck and get away with it, you're sadly mistaken
I would have ran that guy over for that you play stupid games you win stupid prizes
Both drivers were driving dangerously for no reason
@@FlamingBasketballClub Well the truck driver has no responsibility to let him through since the car is coming I to his lane. If a car doing stupid shit no one would let them pass
@@davidcortes4022 the car driver was already in his lane what are you watching
@@FlamingBasketballClub No, what are YOU watching? The pickup driver didn't have to let the idiot Mercedes driver in since he already let one vehicle get on the highway from the on-ramp and, more importantly, it's the responsibility of the Mercedes driver to merge safely onto the freeway since the vehicles on the freeway have the right-of-way. That's why there are yield signs at the end of on-ramps
@12:15 is the funniest radio/video combo I’ve ever seen 😂
“You gotta work the throttle, it takes setting up those corners properly and not getting the car too loos -“ *tires screeching in the background* and then BOOM 😂
New rule:
When u brake check a semi, u lose ur license for a year minimum.
When u brake check a semi WHILE IN A SEMI, u lose ur commercial license for life.
The car drivers payment is probably death or serious injury for the car. A semi getting brake checked by another semi other hand can injury the truck driver pretty bad. A semi driver should obviously know better. I know I'm really raising the bar low but there's so many dumb asses on the street.
I like the law of retaliation: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
Several times I took people out of the road who shit in my face at the risk of killing them!
Respect for your calm...i'm so nervous
2:59 if that rager pulled that on me he'd be lying dead on the road from lead poisoning, 2 seconds after he tried to break my window and created an actual threat to my well-being.
That guy will eventually get a Darwin Award for trying to play Alpha male smackdown. That or someone may run in over while defending themselves. I would because I don’t have a gun, and I’m not letting some nutjob hurt me.
He'll get his someday soon
Lol you cannot shoot someone who is banging on your window. They have no weapon, you’re in your car. Good luck with that in court.
@@Pdt7484 Lol.....you obviously have had no training regarding when you may consider your self in danger and when you can take lethal action to defend yourself. Those of us with licenses to carry concealed weapons have had such instruction and know better. Anyway, you just sit their like a good little sheep when you're threatened....no skin off my nose.
@@donaldp9259 you must not remember Michael Drejka was was sentenced to 20 years in Florida. Which is a stand your ground state, after shooting a man after being pushed to the ground. The precedent has been set so I would take your backyard ccw course instruction with a grain of salt.
