Seems an awful lot like that trucker sped up, which is a dick move over all possible dick moves. WTF was he doing in the left lane anyway, if he wasn't actively passing the truck in the right lane? The VW driver cut it a bit close, but the truck driver was a dangerous asshat that could have killed someone.

When Assholes Collide.
Jetta driver was making a bad merge. Trucker should have sucked it up and backed off. Getting to your destination safely is more important than "winning" simian territorial poop-throwing contest. |

Either driver could have easily avoided the collision. Both FAILED to do so. When someone is being an asshole on the road, the only correct response is to react defensively. Truck driver was aggressive when he should have simply backed off and allowed Jetta driver to be an asshole. Quoted: VW was being an asshole trying to squeeze in front of the truck. Yes, she STARTED the incident. Truck driver failed to END it. |

Bottom line it was the VW's fault, she made an unsafe lane change. Was the trucker an ass, yup. However, she should have slowed down in her lane, let the asshole trucker pass, and then changed lanes.

The trucker didn't speed up, the car in front of him slowed down. That made the VW slow down as well and the trucker had nowhere to go except to the left, which he did, until he ran out of room.

Truck driver seems to have been snoozing a bit.......gotta anticipate that every 4-wheeler is gonna behave as a douchebag. He missed that before they swapped paint. I mean, really, it was painfully obvious she was gonna try to put a square peg in a round hole.

I'd say anyone with an IQ above room temperature "gets it." Sadly, there seem to be a bunch of posters here who are below that bar. All the truck driver had top do was take his foot off the gas momentarily and everyone could have kept clipping along. Instead he chose to endanger the lives of everyone involved because the VW driver was in a bit of ahurry and made an inconsiderate lane change .... while signaling their intention to do so .... while having plenty of room to pull of the maneuver. |

I had a semi do that exact same thing to me a couple days ago. I had to dive off onto the left shoulder to avoid being swiped by his trailer.
I didn't push the issue, just honked and braked to avoid him. Cussed him pretty good. Life goes on. |

Not saying I would have done what he did but she deserved it. Everyone thinks they're a special little snowflake that can cut in front of others who have been waiting longer.
