Top Tip: When trying to pull in front of someone, you must first be IN FRONT of them.
wow another bozo with a ignorant comment the truck driver clearly seen the car plenty of time to slow to let him merge he should have been terminated
@@cherrylove3656 by law the car has to merge. What part of the law don't you understand? I believe you're the bozo. The truck has the right of way. It's called the right of way. Red car, merges. Do you know the definition of merging, Bozo.
@@cherrylove3656 You think the truck driver could see that low car? Imagine if you will, the dashcam is mounted right against the windshield somewhere on the right side ,probably high up on the windshield and maybe to the right side! From where the driver sits, he would never have seen that car even with all the mirrors in the world mounted on his truck! That dashcam is sitting 2 feet forward of the driver's eyes and clearly 3 feet to the right of the driver as well! Unless the driver was sitting so high up in his chair that his head would be hitting the ceiling, would he have seen that car. That is not a proper position to be sitting in! Couldn't reach the pedals unless he's 7 foot tall! Dashcams always see more than what the driver can see! Any driver would not have seen that car! Anything next to the right side of the hood is a blind spot. Also just beside the passenger side door and behind the side window, if the truck as such a window(low to the bottom of the door).
@@cherrylove3656 It is funny you using the word "ignorant" when you clearly don't know what you are talking about.
@@cherrylove3656 The camera is mounted near the top of the windshield on the right side. The driver is sitting on the left side farther away. We don't know that he could see what the dashcam could see. Also, the car could have continued on the shoulder until it got past the truck. The truck driver probably didn't know what hit him until parts started flying. Watch the video a few more times.
Told a DOT officer once, "They should put common sense on the driver's test." He said, "It would cut WAY back on traffic!" lol
Public transportation.
LOL 😂 agree with you 💯%. It would probably reduce driver fault related accidents by at least half!! Common sense doesn’t eliminate the chances of making poor choices though lol ☹️🤪 just lessens the likelihood, lol 😆
Aint THAT the truth!!!!
What is it about a steering wheel that makes someone's IQ drop by 49 points when they touch it???
@@18wheels1966 we really should expand and improve our public transportation in the US. there's a Lotta people who'd benefit from less drivers on the road, including the bus riders.
"Don't merge into another vehicle's lane unless you can see their front tires in your rear view mirror," said my driving instructor when I was 16.
I learned something similar when I first started driving. When you pull up behind a car in traffic, you should be far away enough to see their rear tires.
@@Gold171 This is my policy as well.
I recall when studying for my driver's test it was still far enough to see the license plate. But so many cars nowadays have plates mounted so high you could hit the car and still see it, an alternative is needed.
I was taught headlights.
Oh look! There's a semi coming. Let me wait until the ABSOLUTE LAST MINUTE to merge in front of it.
The problem was the idiot didn't merge in front of the trucker, he merged into him!
They do it all the time . You'll be passed them so you're doing your job correctly and worrying about what's in front of you then they do this stunt .
They think it's the truck drivers responsibility to either be a traffic control device for them , which is illegal for any vehicle to be , or they think " OH THAT'S A TRUCK DRIVER ... HE CAN DRIVE BOTH HIS AND MY VEHICLE AT SAME TIME " .
Lol pretty much🤪
They do this all day everyday.
And lets not use our gas pedal or anything either.
For those people who believe you have the right of way getting on and off the freeway you do not. It is your responsibility to enter and exit the freeway safely. Traffic traveling on the interstate/freeway does not yield to you.
I'd bet there was 200+ yards open space behind the semi-truck. I drive a Honda Civic. Just about everybody cuts in front of me. It apparently would kill them all, if only for a moment, to become last in line. I will say - what's annoying is when a bigger vehicle cuts in front, it destroys my sight-lines. When I'm in front, almost everybody can see over and around me.
Most people don’t know the rules of the road, they just merge, my pet peeve is the people doing well below the speed limit, and just merge onto a highway.
@@justinperry68 only if they dont have a good reason to be up to speed. I know off a few places in my area of michigan where the ramp is all up hill and the highway is still uphill and a heavy semi or heavy pickup can not get up to speed
You ever heard of courtesy of the road it's not a matter of who has the right of way it's being courteous the truck driver could have been courteous and let him merge into the lane offensive and defensive driving you have to be both not just another idiot on the road
@@cherrylove3656 the idiot in the red car was behind the semi. No need for said idiot to try and pass with no lane left
What ceases to amaze me is that the trucker had already cleared the convertible and the convertible had how many miles to get in the lane and just pass him on the other side, car got what he deserved
never
Here's some unwritten rules that were not on your learners permit test:
1- Don't mess with the truck
2- understand the limitations of your econobox. If your beep-beep isn't capable of ACCELERATING ahead of truck allowing you to SAFELY enter the highway, FALL BACK BEHIND BIG MEAN TRUCK.
This has been a public service announcement.
That BMW certainly got serviced in public.
your beep-beep 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😆
You hit the nail right on the head, Mr. (W)hammer. Either pass or back down, no playing with big bad trucks.
I honestly never understood that mentality of "GOTTA' GET AHEAD OF THE TRUCK", you're joining a multi-lane highway, just slot in behind the truck, then overtake it in another lane, right...?
I mean, after all the truck doesn't need to yield to you. You're the one entering his lane, he has right of way.
People blow my mind... 😆
@@VoxelLoop Brother YOU SAID IT!!!
I love how random shit started flying off the car lol
It was the mirror and mirror cover.
I BET the people in the car had to clean their underwear!!!
ya that was a nice effect. too bad it looked intentional. i refuse to accept the driver was THAT inept.
@@lifediversified8932 The driver in the red car must have fallen asleep. There is No Other excuse !
@@blaneycrabbe3390 i watch a lot of these dash cam wrecks and i figure a fair amount of them MUST be drugs, medical emergencies or fatigue/falling asleep. besides insurance scams and emotional erraticness, there really isn't any explanation for some of this craziness. do we count some people just suck at driving? :P
The one with the most lug nuts always wins
Yes even if it's pink.
Unless it's a train.
Never heard that one … love it …
In high school, one smart ass kid made fun of my first car a Toyota Corolla. Said it was made out of old beer cans.
Driving up a grade leaving the San Fernando Valley, I was passing a semi so I was in second lane from rt. Another semi (empty) was passing me in the third lane from right. He moved into my lane, as his lug nuts are grinding into my driver's door and I'm trying not to get pushed into the other semi, all I could think of is how my car is made out of old beer cans.
Grateful to be alive!!!
Very clever 👏
Drivers Training Education should include spending 5 minutes in the seat of a parked semi-truck with cars positioned around it -- so the student can see how difficult it can be for a truck driver to even see 4-wheel vehicles in their mirrors and windshield.
Great idea! See the world from the other guy's perspective for a bit.
I got my commercial license after driving for many years. That experience really smartened me up.
The problem isn't the "4 Wheels" on the Road, it's the "1 Wheel" in the "Drivers Hands" that causes so much trouble! 😳🙄
Not a bad idea at all!
Freightliner parts
Really glad he had a dashcam. The truck driver had the right a way!
He could have been charged for driving rashly without any reason
That doesn't make it right for him to not slow down and let the person who made a mistake get by.
@@mkp3824 it's a hard lesson to learn but 4 wheeler will pay more attention next time.
@@peterscholte300 hopefully, the stupid truck driver will, too.
@@angeldaisy5248 they can slow down. He was being a dick. Face it.
Driver of the convertible: "Oh, so that's what the underside of a Semi looks like."
Of course it was” that truck hit me “. Probably tried to blame the trucker. Good thing he had to camera
Guaranteed. People lie.
I saw a video once where a woman in a van pulled in front of a turning semi truck an if I remember correctly I think she tapped on her breaks enough for the semi to tap her than she accelerated fast into the ditch.
Than the lady started acting like the semi truck driver hit her until he started pointing at his dash cam.
Red car is one of those “entitled drivers” god forbid he got behind you then passed you safely on highway
Or maybe even step on the gas to get safely in front when merging.
The same goes for the mobile mechanics. The pass you just to exit ahead of you. They can't slow down and save fuel cost and maybe they're life.
@An Austrian Painter Amen
Yep, they call it Democrat.
The truck driver is one of those "professional drivers" that should be able to deal with this idiot.
Well, at least it got pushed out of the way instead of ran over. There's that.
That sucked it didn't happen. Would have made for great entertainment.
@@kcook8119 might've damaged the undercarriage though.
@@jerryrigsit5400 oh yea we wouldn't want that. Driver needs to keep making money.
@@kcook8119 yup, can't let the idiot 4-wheelers run things
'seems safe to assume it was pushed directly into the path of other vehicles going 50-60mph.
Red Car Driver, " I couldn't turn my head and look to see if it was clear to merge, because I was having a very important conversation on my phone."
And answering a text while checking Facebook and posting to Instagram.
Yeah, more than likely. Probably a generation Y or Z who can't drive a manual let alone a car at all 🙄
When are people in four wheels going to learn they can't beat 18 Wheels.
You can't fix stupid.
@@WildBikerBill not even with duct tape
Yeah. You can't fix it but you can crunch the shit out of it.
Which brings us to another ponder to point out.
" which was louder? The sound of the little red convertible coming apart, or, the sound of little red convertible drivers bowels decompressing?"
Hell, they try to beat us on trains, why the hell do you think they would be scared of you?
18 Wheels? That's all? I passed a semi with 32 wheel this morning. And that didn't include the 18 Wheel cab.
I was cheering for the pink Freightliner the whole time.
Okay, my favorite part is when the wreckage from the side mirror go flying up in the air! Love it! Amazing how many “drivers” believe the vehicle in the travel lane has to yield. I’m incredulous, but I see it every time I’m out there. That’s my home turf on your vid, btw. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Dealt with one of those people on a recent trip. A woman in the on ramp decided to get beside me and match my speed (I had a semi to my left) instead of trying to speed up and get in front of me (ample space to do so) or slow down to get behind me (again, ample space to do so). She slammed on the brakes at the end of the on-ramp and flipped me off for her own stupidity. She had plenty of time to adjust so she wouldn't impede the driving lane. I didn't adjust as in my experience, the other driver does the same adjustment and just gets mad. There's no win here for the traveling lane drivers when the merging drivers don't know how to merge.
@@karlrovey Some time ago, a young driver (female) told me she thought “you HAD TO WAIT till the driver next to you moved over.” Bad training. Or none. 🤦🏻♂️
@@franklinbrooks9506 Just as bad as the drivers who wait to get up to highway speeds when it's easily possible to get to highway speeds by the time they're halfway down the on-ramp. Then you have the poorly designed on-ramps where you're lucky to get to 40 mph before you have to merge.
I doubt it they think. They don’t look at all on traffic they merge to. They are simply said such drivers. It happens all times no matter semi or regular car they fix their look up front, ahead of them. In this case driver hold his line until end then tries to merge to left.
I'm a professional truck driver and I see stupid drivers all over. The gross weight for a semi tractor and trailer is 80,000. Going 60 mph it takes over a football field to stop. Wake up people and stop cutting truck drivers off.
Well said!
That's with normal conditions! Like in this video. But take on account rain, ice, even just slush or hail stones on the road. Twice the distance to stop and if going faster than 60 mph, 2.5 football field lengths! Most idiot people don't understand a football field! Try using terms like city blocks, 10 houses, if not more.
Truck drivers need to get some brains and immediately slow when they get cut off. You can't control what other people do, most semi drivers are too stupid to prevent accidents.
People do it out of spite just as much as stupidity anymore...
Just so you know.....A max load semi (80,000 in the USA) at 60 mph will hit you with 9,627,635 ft/lbs of force. yes, 9.6 Million foot/pounds. Ok maybe a bit less if you are also moving, as in this video. But I suspect you'd still want to avoid it.
You can see, in the blind spot mirror, that the truck was pulling away from the car. The car driver didn't think he should have to yield to the truck.
Interstate traffic has the right of way.
Yes they do......now tell that to the red car driver
Except in Massachusetts it's the other way around and yes I know it sound crazy and I don't like it.
@@vc8my when you are on the far right lane u need to be ready to slow down (not stop but slow down) at every ramps to let cars coming into the highway or move over one lane to avoid them. In this vid tho red car was wrong bcz semi was cruising at safe speed and already ahead
@@vc8my you know that and I know that but what do expect from a state full of morons.
My ex dispatcher hates truckers and the saftey manager hates truckers too.Both of them would say the car is in front so the trucker has to yield.Both work for swift and I got fired.
To anyone defending the car....you're wrong.
Specifically, Section 541.061 states that while on a roadway with three or more lanes going in the same direction, a driver must yield to traffic on the left when entering from the right.
Same here in Australia but, always give way to your right. Merging is a huge problem as people don't get up to the speed with others
American logic, If you cannot be punished for killing someone by legal technichality that means you should! maybe issues are nuanced and the red car was obviously in the wrong but the truck could have just let him pass and avoided the whole thing
@@bradthunderpants3283the car could have easily speed up to the front of the truck or just slowed down and merge behind the semi. Stop blaming the semi
@@bradthunderpants3283. The semi driver couldn't see the car because it was in the blind spot. 100% the cars fault for putting themselves there when they could have easily merged behind the truck but chose not to because they're completely stupid.
1st rule of the road. The big truck always wins.
So, based on the time stamp and speed on the trucks dash cam, I calculated that the ramp is about a half mile. If you can't get up to speed in a half mile, you don't need to be driving on the highway.
How they ever passed the driving test!😃
?? They actually did good. Almost left their lane to focus solely on their collision which may have caused a second accident, but they recovered.
@@Kylerinsandiego u are telling me that they have done the good thing when they try To cut off à semi?
@@Peterbilt-jn2mq no.... I was referring to the semi driver.
@@Kylerinsandiego nick was talking about the car and your reply was about the truck, it's expected someone would get confused.
They got there Driver license from a cracker Jack box. 😆
It Always baffles me how "they" think that you're going to move for them...when THEY are the ones merging.
Not only that but the truck may not even be able to move safely. There could be a car on the other side and they can't even see it.
Well just keep your foot on the accelerator and make sure you teach "them" a lesson
@@tedgey4286 Who? The invisible them who should be way behind you because you passed his dumb ass half a mile back there on the ramp?

Glad you had a dash cam that was 100% the car fault. Clearly. It had plenty of time to pick up speed or slow down to get in lane of travel, good job driver it was nothing you can do, your camera is what proved it.
Parts flying....love it
Failing to yield to vehicles already in precidence on main highway, red car should accelerate ahead and join, or else trail in behind and go around truck on it's way....... Simple.
Typical carefree unconcerned car driving idiot behind the wheel.
They get all they end up with.
They thought merger, mean their vehicles became one!
as a 70year old, I LOVE that music. Had me bopping around whilst watching :)
To a four wheeler, “merge” means “get the f*** out of my way”.
There is nowhere near enough emphasis in drivers training on the fact that those merging must yield. My opinion of course.
Oh! I didn't see the truck! Where did it come from?
Lmbo!! That’s exactly how some of these morons act! Driving like they expect everyone else to move out of their way and avoid them while they drive crazy and like they’re the only vehicle on the road that has the right of way. You couldn’t even see whether the car had a blinker on because they started turning into the truck way before they actually passed it. It’s clearly the car driver’s fault. What we could barely see of the car as it came up on the right side wouldn’t have been very visible to the truck driver because the camera can see more than the driver can. But in this situation there was no reason for the car to merge into the trucks lane before they were passed the truck and ahead a safe distance. That’s how you merge into another lane that is already occupied, you have to pass ahead of them with a safe distance between you and them BEFORE merging into their lane. There are some ridiculous comments from other people saying stuff like the truck driver should have been nicer and let the car in, but the car wasn’t passed the truck before it began merging into the truck, not into a safe space in the lane! 😝 I can’t believe how many bad drivers there are now and how they expect others to be responsible for their screwed up negligent driving instead of being responsible for themselves. It’s bad when you can’t even drive down the road, staying in your lane, doing the speed limit and being careful without some idiot just turning into your vehicle like you were supposed to have known to get out of their way!! The gall of some people is unbelievable!
Professional truck driver looking down at the car says what as he applies no brake and allows the car to come into him.
@@Gary-pogi It's probably harder for big 18 wheeler trucks to suddenly brake.
I put up with that crap for 30 yrs. I worked for the government, they actually fired me for obeying driving laws.
I believe you!!
Seen this again and again. Some drivers think they have the right of way because they are following the edge of the pavement. They are so sure of this they don’t bother to look left
Many don't do the quick turn of the head to look at traffic. It's too much of a bother for them.
Glad puff daddy's truck saved his life.
Not gonna lie, the pink is pretty neat.
The mirror pieces that fly up over the hood probably happened at the same time as the car driver start crapping themselves.
I hate when people do that. I had someone do that to me yesterday. I didn't see them until the last second. I thought I cut my finger on the cable for the air horn because I pulled it so hard.
In similar incidents I've heard about some people claiming they "didn't see" the truck that was 12 times bigger than their car.
I’m an LTL driver in the northeast. People pull out on you like this at pretty much every on-ramp. They are always shocked when they suddenly see a truck right beside them. Ya think you coulda glanced to your left at least once on that half-mile on ramp?
@@ontheroad5317 They are not shocked that you are there, they are shocked that you didn't automatically get out of their way. They're special, don't you know /laughter.
@@WildBikerBill - No, they're "special". Definitely window licker in their past.
@@ontheroad5317 that would be to easy for them to due. They have to pull their head out of their ass first, then shake the shit out of there ears and eyes, to see and hear a semi in front of them.
So I am 83 years old and learned to always keep away from anything that is bigger than me. Always keep back to see the mirrors, and if you cannot, then you are too close. Seems obvious to me. Do not ever try to merge with something that is bigger than your house. Just because you live in a trailer does not mean you can mate with something that weighs more than your whole family at the annual picnic. Do not honk your horn! He is listening to the trucker's favorite song, "Fifty ways to level the little bastards." And do not rev your little engine, when his exhaust pipe is bigger than your engine, and he has two of them! Oh, I almost forgot . If you are so stupid that you just have to dance the wild fandango with a monster truck and trailer bigger than the Staten Island Ferry, remember to smile, so the camera gets something for us to look at. After you are gone.
COLORADO:
When merging, you must yield to vehicles already on the roadway, and you must not merge if it means that another motorist will have to slow down to let you in.
Thats in every state its the ignorant shit heads that think everyone has to move over for them
did that car driver really expect to get away with that unscaved? seriously what a nut
It's up to the vehicle entering traffic to merge properly, safely, and legally. There's no law that says that a driver in the right lane is obligated to move over or slow down (the semi couldn't move over due to traffic anyway).
Fact....
I retired from Aviation after 42 years and have been driving for 8. I've noticed something really peculiar: The Dallas , Miami and Atlanta folks are some of the politest people when you deal with them, but get behind the wheel and they refuse to recognize my Semi turn signals and NEVER back off or move over to let me change lanes. S.Cal and NE people are really cold, not very personable when you deal with them, but I never have trouble changing lanes in time for a turn. They always either slow down or move over. Or is it just me?
Can confirm, DFW traffic sucks for truckers. I drove a class C cylinder gas truck for 3+ years and got the same treatment truckers do: turn on your blinker and they treat is as an open invitation to make a pass-the-truck train in the lane you need to get into. They cut you off and jam on the brakes to keep from plowing into the person in front of them, taking away your safety cushion and not thinking/caring that a 20,000 lb (or 70,000+ lb in the case of a semi) wrecking ball will absolutely crush them if we can't stop in time. Ever since my time driving a 10 ton potential bomb (flammable and non-flammable gases), I always let trucks in, let them over, let them pass, and generally get the hell out of their way, even if it means 10 bastards behind me have to slow down too.
CDL licenses are not forgiving on accidents, and I'll be damned if I'm going to cost a driver their job or God forbid their career just because I don't want to wait an extra 10 seconds. I try not to even merge in front of a truck unless there is at least a truck-and-trailer length or 2 minimum in front of them.
Let's not forget Denver, those assholes will miss their own exit just so you can't get over
I do! ruclips.net/video/FZHxrZZ0cSA/видео.html
I am 42 and look back how I got my drivers license. It reminds me why we have so many freaking idiots on the road. My driving test didn't take me on the interstate to ensure I knew how to lane merge and drive with a faster flow of traffic. It didn't even have me parallel park. My driving portion consisted of a few stoplights, a couple stop signs, all right hand turns with the exception of one left hand turn, and never exceeding 35mph. I should have never been allowed on the road back then. If it was that easy for me, how easy was it for others? Were they easier before my time, after? How many others were not properly tested and should not have been allowed on the road? Is it any wonder why there are so many bad drivers on the road?
I am glad the truck had a camera.
You are right, you do need to apologise for the crap music.
Most truck drivers know that each driver should be careful not to hit someone merging or vise versa within city limits or on a heavy commute. Something an experienced driver knows and it does not matter how heavy your load is. That is why truckers change lanes to avoid a possible Mishaps.
Looks like some people are just plain scared to step on the accelerator. I know for a fact those cars go much faster than that.
That car is sporty but not a sports car. It is not fast.
@@christopherharris3229 It is much faster than he drove it. It appears to be a BMW convertable. Plenty of power to speed up. In the time that they saw each other on the interstate that car couldve been going well over 100mph. The red car was already speeding (45 mph as shown in lane letters) to pass the truck. Should've used some common sense and just got behind the truck.
@@christopherharris3229 e46 BMW. They will all do over 120mph no problem. Don't ask how I know.

Reminds me of a woman who tried to get in front of me in stop and go rush hour 5pm NJ traffic from the on ramp in front of Meadowlands Arena back in the late '90s. While waiting on the cop to arrive she was so nice and admitted it was her fault. But when the cop arrived she started crying and took a Linda Blair cue and blamed me for pushing her car approximately 5-10' up the turnpike. She told the cop, 'He sits 10' up off the ground. He should've been able to see me!" The cop immediately led her by the arm around my truck and told her (not asked) to sit in the driver's seat and look out the windshield and see if she could see her car. When she could not, her alligator tears "dried" up quickly.😂
Truck has the right of way, I'm glad the truck driver held his lane👍🏿👍🏿
Yeah well your just ignorant the truck could have slowed down to let the car merge into the lane instead of being just another jerk on the road
@@cherrylove3656 stop with the, truck should have slowed down, nonsense. The only thing the truck is required to do is, maintain his lane, and speed. The car is required to speed up, or slow down, to safely merge. Stop arguing with everyone.

Kinda like a fly trying to knock over a brick wall.
There's a song in there someplace.
"Lil red convertible, on the grill of my rig"...

@@dustinw1750 at about 0:47 you can see the driver reduces speed from 54 to 53 when the car becomes visible and just before impact, the speed increases back up to 54 at approximately 0:51.
It actually Iooks like the convertible was trying to move over because of the truck broke down on the side of the road and misjudged the truck next to it ....
I see an awful lot of comments from folk who obviously aren't professional drivers.
We can't drive your cars for you.
Put your foot down and get in front, or get the heck behind us. Quick lane changes and hasty stopping/braking are dangerous in a tractor.
That guy in the convertible was a douchebag. Period.
I agree 💯% either they floor it or swallow their pride and get behind
Little red car that couldn't. I guess he thought he had Ferrari. Lmao
The poster has the same attitude about his music as the red car driver has about his driving.
Puts a whole new meaning to Prince's "Little Red Corvette".
I brake checked a tanker truck one time, as he was right on my bumper for no reason. Later down the road he changed lanes from the middle lane to the far right lane, right next to my car. I had to slam on my brakes, and drive on to the shoulder, or he would have knocked me off the road. That was the last time I ever brake checked a tanker. Luckily no one crashed or was hurt.
Play stupid games, Win stupid prizes. Thank you truckers for keeping America great.
I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me as I've towed my RV trailer along. I don't even have the same class of brakes as a semi so why people think I can stop on a dime beats the heck out of me. You all saw how long the semi driver needed to safely stop their truck. It's about that long for the average pickup and trailer, too, plus we don't have as good brakes as a semi. If it comes down to it, I'm going to run you over if I can't stop in time and NOT on purpose.
First time I towed our camper, I just stayed in the right lane and didn't lift or speed up. I did think my horn wasn't happy with all the use it got but I loved seeing the looks on the faces of those drivers! This year I have a different pickup and I'm trying to find a place to put a button for an air horn.
Professionalism is reaching for a higher standard than this. Taking the high road, is no accident.
Hi there, is it ok if I feature it in one of my Truckers-Only video? Credited on screen and with a link back to you!
Also, is there any update? What happened after the crash?
And can I feature some of your other driving fails too?
No
Hell naw
I gues that the one that need to answer is the video owner not u fools right?
And none of us answering even have the authority to answer the question. I'd say, if they say no, use it anyway until the takedown request
The best advice my Dad gave to me when he was teaching me to drive was, “Be nice to big rig drivers and they will be nice to you.”
My Dad told me if you mess with the Bull you will get the Horn lol
I’ll be honest:-
I’m thinking crash for cash, they seemed to line up for the best t-bone collision pretty well
Driving truck in California can be an adventure. They are regulated to 55 all over the state. They are required to stay in the left lane so that is exactly what I did. I stayed in the far left lan and drove 55 miles an hour. Can't tell you the number of times I've been hit or tapped on the right front because people can't drive properly.
Hahahahaj this is what I call a happy ending... Thanks for share. Love it
No, that was not happy for anyone. I suggest you look the word up.
Awweee, I wanted to see the aftermath of the little red donor car
God forbid i be stuck behind a truck and can't see or slow me down even tho its a 3 or 4 lane highway. Deal with them every day. U can be the only one in that lane and nobody behind you, but they will still try to get in front of u every time
Especially at off ramps. It seems as though most drivers think the off ramp will magically disappear if they can't pass the truck first.
It figures! How can they not see and hear a HUGE tractor and trailer next to them? WOW!
Yet ANOTHER video with " JUST STUPID, ANNOYING AND LOUSY MUSIC SOUND TRACK ADDED for no good reason.
Same as above. Liked the music, which why I left the volume on! lmao!
I knew the scenery looked familiar. This is on I85 in Atlanta. Specifically in Norcross which is just north of Atlanta. Not surprised about this, as a lot of people don't seem to use their mirrors here
Why are mirrors needed here? Eyeball usage in the red car would have gone a long way here.
Why stop I didn’t see our feel anything 😂😂😂😂
This is another one of those instances where the 4 wheeler failed to apply the laws of Gross Tonnage. Poor truck driver probably didn't even know what happened until the car came sliding past the left side of the truck.
So , if you have a dash cam its ok to try to murder someone if they make a mistake. Hmm. I drive a truck too and most of the people that do stuff like that don't realize what they're doing. I don't like it but, I will always try to avoid RUNNING OVER THEM when they make a mistake. The person driving the pink truck should be charged with attempted murder. I bet if that was someone in his family driving that car he would never have touched them. He had PLENTY of time to react, (if he or she wanted to) or (if he or she was paying attention). Ya'll be safe out there. Old Triple T here. We gone Bye Bye.
When the dashcam saves your ass from buying a new bmw convertible you don't want!!!
They're both responsible & the red car driver is at fault. I love truckers & pray for them often. This one could've moved over one lane to let mergers in. It was open. I guess the red car driver was stupid to get on the semi's right side & probably was speeding.
I would like to add this little bit of history, for all the people blaming the truck. The interstate system was built for interstate commerce, and war. So technicality, cars are being ALLOWED on the interstate. Also, that means, trucks shouldn't have any restrictions, like what lanes they can, or can't be in.
When will cars realize that big trucks can't see them? Geez!
How in the hell can you say this moron driving the truck couldn't see the car????? It was in his blind spot mirror it is on camera which is sitting lower than the driver and the driver increased speed as the car was coming over. He knew exactly what he was doing. That driver should be fired. I would not want him in my truck he is a lawsuit coming.
@@skidoorulz4914 So it was YOU!! You were driving that little red car!
@@kdwaynec Nope just a guy that knows an asshole truck driver when I see one
@@skidoorulz4914 :46 seconds that little red car disappears from fender mirror and truck drivers view! Realize that the dashcam is mounted on the windshield just right of center and the truck driver is sitting on the left side of center of the windshield. He clearly lost sight of that low profile car! And if you watched the speed of the truck, he clearly maintained his speed until the first contact, 54, 53, 54, contact 50! You probably think that all truck drivers sit so high up in their chairs that they can't reach the pedals just so they can see out of their windows to clearly see all the way around their trucks for low profile cars hiding in their blind spots!
@@CONTAINERMAN68 Make all the excuses you want he was aware that that car was there at all times. And if he sits so low in the seat that you can barely see his head over the window sill on the door then the idiot is a danger to himself and all drivers on the road. You need to be able to see as much as possible when driving a truck. And if you are sitting on the floor then you are extremely limiting your field of view.
They had plenty of room left to speed up more and at least merge sort of safely. It’s like they didn’t even try.
Chime a buzzer at end of a game- you loose
Makes perfect sense for I-85 north between Jimmy Carter Blvd and Indian Trail Rd! Atlanta traffic is the best!
That’s gonna leave a mark
Darryl DeClue everywhere.
Nah, it'll buff out 🤣
A skid mark on the drivers seat.
@@18wheels1966 To quote a once famous comedian: "Because first you say it, and then you do it!".
4-wheelers will never get the fact they're driving a coffin on wheels
Prolly on medication had a few or looking for insurance money on an old convertible.
This is in Atlanta which means the driver's probably high.
When I was a kid, we used to go watch the Red at Riverfront Stadium. Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Dave Concepcion, Tony Perez...the dream team.
Anywho, back then they hosted a little thing called "Bat Day". All the kids got a miniature version of a Louisville Slugger with the team logo opposite the branding.
I still have mine, and I've been using it to thump my tires and the occasional noggin since 1988. Ash is durable and it has a distinctive sound when applied liberally to the human calvaria.
I call it "The Gavel".
And another one bites the dust
I drive semis. I try to move over if clear to prevent this from happening. Less paperwork. I am still amazed at the number of drivers who don't know that the "on ramp" is also called the acceleration lane. You can actually get up to freeway speed prior to merging onto the freeway.
Sometimes the Professional driver's have to yield to prevent loss of life regardless of right of way. Dad had 42 yrs of safe service with countless occasions where he could of held the line and took lives ... you driver's were children in those cars
I thought the big rig will never stop 🤣
Question! Did you see the convertible? And which one of you were driving?
Convertible DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY.
@@hitlercat7341 So we just let them crash into us if they don't yield?
@@13keystone90 really ?? Just where was that semi gonna go?
Up to 80, 000 lbs is just so nimble now isn't it ?
Self entitled doofus got what they deserved.
@@hitlercat7341 May get what they deserved but the truck driver has a lot to lose whether their fault or not! Yes, really.........
@@hitlercat7341 slight push on the brakes is all it would take!
It's a BMW. They come like that from the factory.
As a truck driver in this situation, I would have likely tapped my break and laid on the air horn. Now, to those of you that want to say “oh he probably didn’t see them” if he didn’t then it is absolutely his fault. In any situation like that you should be well aware of where any one is until they have fully merged into the lane you’re traveling in. This situation isn’t worth the issues that come with it to “teach that 4-wheeler a lesson”. Accept the fact that they are stupid and move on with your day.
After driving over 2000 miles on interstates cross country over the past four days, much respect to truckers. I'm the car driver who leaves room for you to get in the left lane if you need to, and I'll flash my lights to let you know I'm yielding. When the car behind me wouldn't let a semi merge at a construction zone i slowed down and let the semi in front of me. We all have to share the road and it only takes an extra few minutes to be courteous and always stay out of the blind spots of all drivers.
That red car driver not only didn't yield, they created an unsafe situation by deliberately trying to outrun the semi from the right without commiting to the overtake. It was almost leisurely. Dekalb County is a challenge for all drivers, but many don't even try.
A long time ago I had a CDL as a trailer jockey. Maybe that training helped. I never drove loads. It was usually a trailer exchange or pickup, in New Jersey. If you can drive in New Jersey you are a professional!
I understand the truck had the right of way, I am a CDL holder since '96. But it would have been better if the driver would have got on the brakes and let him buy. Sometimes you just have to let the idiots go.
The car didn't even try speed up to merge. It even slowed down.
Trucking Companies should use this video in thier hiring process as a way to determine who to hire and who not to hire based on their comments about this video...
