Exactly. Part of being a good driver is realizing that there are maniacs everywhere. Gotta let it go. The guy in the semi is screwed now because of these two **** wagons.
You sure it wasn't a Honda?

The title of this thread made me think of the opening scene from Marathon Man.

I can't believe that nobody in either thread is putting any blame on the trucker. I used to drive for a living and I've seen this cat-and-mouse game a million times, and you can be sure that the guy driving the big rig was well aware of what was happening. So instead of just easing back so that the children can finish their little game, he keeps pace with the pickup truck. He also got what he deserved.
Don't get me wrong, the two jokers in the left lane are imbeciles, but the trucker is far from blameless.

Did the rig slow down, only to watch the pickup reduce speed, too? Dash cam guy got close to the action and maybe this was why.

Very true. More commonplace in Russia where there are even more #######s, if you can believe it.More and more now days.. The other day listened to a Radio DJ talk about his dashcam he has on everyday and they had many people texting that they also

My BIL recently did this.
No good reason why. But he's an attention hoor so it's probably just in case he ever gets a chance to make a look at me youtube video.

I can't tell for sure, but it looked like the truck was trying to slow down, like you suggest, but the pickup just slowed down with him to piss off the Camaro. Even if he didn't and just maintained his speed, I don't think he did anything wrong.

You can say but the truck shoulda done this or that but in the end, the dooshpickle in the Camaro drove on the shoulder and lost control.
Camaro driver is an ###.

I blame the Baltimore police.

It's frustrating to see trucks act arrogant on the road - for example, when there's traffic, 2 semis will ride next to each other in an attempt to control traffic. They're actually making traffic worse.

Agreed. I am sure I'm not alone in seeing so many hotshot teenagers drive aggressively - maybe not like Camaro Charlie in the video, but very dangerously.
A clip like this could be a wakeup call.

Decades ago the MA state police tried controlling highway speed by having 4 patrol cars side by side in each lane all going 55MPH. created a horrible backup and was abandoned after a day.

Why would you need 4? Everytime I see a cop on the highway, he's effectively blocking all lanes as no one dares pass him.

and you always get that aggressive Camarro driver who angrily weaves through the cars behind the cop, flashing and swerving until they get to the front.

There are plenty of good reasons to get a dash cam. They're cheap and they can protect you from fraudulent claims in the event of an accident or from a SOB policeman. No good reason not to have one IMO. Only thing stopping me is inertia.

l pass them all the time. I pass them going 5-7 mph over the limit and have never had an issue.

I too pass cops from time to time, but only if they're going under the speed limit or other cars are passing.

I have also gotten off with warnings the last two times I was pulled over. Both times going ~20mph over.

The guy in the Cameron deserves to be in jail and the guy in the truck deserves a butt kicking. I am indifferent about the trucker. Maybe he should have got out of the way but not his fault these two are acting like a-holes. Hopefully the guy in the camero and truck sustained non life threatening injuries and had to pay big dollars for any damage to the semi :street justice:

at the people blaming the guy in the pick-up. Yeah, he was being a tool but the Camaro driver is 100% to blame for the crash.

Camaro is about 89% to blame. Pickup is 11%. If he doesn't play "Keeper of the Speed", he goes home with a non-crashed truck.

Let's go with 95% here, guy.

If I were the pickup truck driver I would've sped up to get over one lane to let the camaro pass. I'd be driving a Prius however, so doing this may take up to a minute or more. I'm not going to increase carbon emissions from my vehicle by revving the engine too high just because the guy wants to go fast in his POS camaro.

I took the city bus the other day. It was almost completely full.
There was one seat open but this jerkoff had his backpack on it. I asked him to move it so I could sit down but he ignored me. I asked him again very nicely...this time he not only didn't move his backpack he put his foot on the seat too.
I couldn't believe the nerve of this guy. Finally I pulled out my 9 and started shooting rounds into the window right above him.
I guess that scared the bus driver. He swerved and ran over 4 or 5 pedestrians.
Mr. Backpack Jerk killed people. I hope he's happy.
