Idiot in a Hilux trying to intimidate a truck driver

[@JohnSWeekley]

Never understood why people would try to instigate a semi truck, or any large truck. Don't they know they're most likely going to lose? Badly?

[@richardharder6499]

it's because they're fucking idiots

[@Ashurkhan]

I've made a large truck come to a complete stop (Safely mind you) after he was turning on the inside lane and I was on the outside one in which he just came straight across. Almost took out a sign on the road avoiding this idiot. However when I did talk to him through the window he seemed remorseful for what he had done.

[@JohnSWeekley]

As long as you've done it safely and not for the sake of being a jackass.

[@Ashurkhan]

No brake checking no... just slowly coming to a stop.

[@Forsaken_Angel_of_Darkness]

+PrimeWeekle People do it to get the semi to hit them and equals out to big fat paycheck from trucking companies. Now and days with so much of that shit going on, a lot of drivers/companies are using dashcams to stop the shenanigans, but, people still try to do it.......if they live through it

[@michaelm2343]

This happened to me once when I was a truck driver. I'm glad I had a cam too because I put that whole family in the hospital for 12 days. The ignorant mother who was driving was almost killed. They sued but, I won.

[@huuamai8151]

Magpul 32 "I put that whole family in the hospital for 12 days." hahaha You almost sound proud. Almost...

[@michaelm2343]

Chris Fuentes I'm proud I had it on cam, or other wise I might be in a bad position right now.

[@huuamai8151]

Magpul 32 I think the more relevant term is "glad" You are "glad" you had it on camera. "Proud" makes it sound like you hit a home run. What you hit here was a "whole family." hahaha

[@fangzea]

I don't know about you, but proud I would be.

[@huuamai8151]

fangzea I just found it a little humorous, the wording. Not trying to take anything away from it.

[@franticstorm6074]

I'm thinking here, the only reason why you didn't keep on going was to avoid damaging your truck! I understand that! My suggestion would be, get an older truck!

[@rolloverriderpgr]

That's just part of the reason he didn't hit him. IDK if you have the same bullshit rules Down Under as we do in the US but the paperwork is always a PITA, then the wheels ain't turning so not making money while filling out that paperwork and up here even if we get rear ended we have to take a damn piss test and then the downtime to get the repairs done means no income cause those wheels ain't turning so NOT hitting anyone is always a money losing experience! Then a law suit on a truck is always a money maker for the idiot 4 inchers! It's only a few seconds off of our clock so not worth the fight to be first! Blue Sky's and Safe Journeys!

[@lorrainemarshall9476]

Frantic storm, your name sums up my dog, when someone comes to the door. I occasionally call her 666, she was called Staurm after my second dog, from the seventies. I heard my son's talking and they agreed the name suited her. I hope you don't live up to your name all the time. I wouldn't have backed off the that toyota, but I think that I'm a bit like my dog.

[@bobrussell3602]

Or a new truck, but weld a lot of rusty iron on the front nearside (that might be dangerous) so you could attach a chunk of rubber from a truck tire. Every morning smear it with a mixture of paint, cow dung, poo, vomit and a bit of road kill.

[@jacobedmunds8609]

Older truck or a bigger bullbar🤣

[@nyflo718]

When you're a truck driver everything is your fault and responsibility, damaging your truck could potentially mean thousands of dollars lost. -an actual truck driver

[@Metallirocks]

Moves in front of the truck and slows right down, as if thats not bad enough he waits for the truck to change lanes and then forces his way in a very unsafe gap in front of him again, what a prick. And their are idiots here defending the hilux??

[@Koshunae]

+Metallirocks I understand truck drivers are on a schedule, but I think I would've just continued on when he decided to split the lane like that. Honking, yes, but not slowing. Then again, I'd probably want to get paid and move on.

[@wendycoulter9122]

Not sure about Aus, but it's really bad in the US to have any avoidable wreck in a CMV, goes on daq regardless of who is at fault

[@Metallirocks]

+Ferruzzicati Well lets be honest, the fast lane on the right was free, the truck wasn't in that lane until the end of the video, so you can hardly accuse the truck driver of holding up the Hilux, he overtook him quite freely to start with and then goes in front for no apparent reason, slows down, the obvious thing to do if you are the dash cam driver (regardless of what vehicle you drive) is to go right and speed up, but as can clearly be seen in the video ...... wth was the Hilux doing??

[@Metallirocks]

+Ferruzzicati Well regardless of what lane whoever was meant to be in - he caused the truck to brake for no apparent reason and then dangerously cut him off, you can argue all you want about what lane the truck "should have been in" but the fact of the matter is and this is the whole point of the video - it was dangerous (and stupid) driving on the part of the Hilux. I will say no more.

[@KingInky13]

+Ferruzzicati Semis go to the middle lane to keep the passing lane open and to not prevent merging cars from entering the highway. The passing lane was open for the Hilux, but after passing he gets in front of the semi and slows down. The semi is overtaking vehicles to the left of him and being overtaken on the right, so his actions are completely legal and correct. Once the Hilux overtakes the semi, he slows down and does not overtake the vehicles to his left, which is illegal, especially when the lane ahead of you is completely clear of other traffic. I'd love for you to point out exactly where the semi flashes his lights at the Hilux as you claim. The semi then attempts to pass and the Hilux decides to try and prevent it. Putting an indicator on does not give one the right to move over, and he did not put his on until he was already moving over. The fact that he didn't return to the lane he was in while the semi was on his horn shows that his intention was not to just get into the passing lane but rather to attempt to prevent the semi from overtaking a slower vehicle. The only dicks here are the Hilux and those attempting to defend his dangerous, psychotic actions.

[@woodencoasterfan]

It's absolutely amazing how these idiots manage to keep their licenses with the way some of these idiots drive their cars. I'm a truck driver here in the US and I'll do everything possible to keep from hitting them when they do something stupid and I get the middle finger as they drive off. Most of these people still don't realize that most of us have dash cameras for our protection and use in court.

[@NuggetEternal]

+Themeparkfanatic I think people assume truck drivers are generally mean trolls who like to recklessly tailgate and intimidate people in little sedans. Indeed, I keep an eye on my mirror whenever I see a big truck closing in quickly behind me. But of course that assumption is not always true, and the guy in the smaller car may end up being in the wrong when the guy in the big scary truck was just trying to be nice.

[@harolkaemerer6351]

+Raymond Alcantara are you being sarcastic orr what?

[@NuggetEternal]

+Harol Kaemerer actually no. Not semi trucks all the time but occasionally I've actually seen a few negligent semi truck drivers. Just mostly pickup truck drivers I seem to have the most trouble with in terms of tailgating. Annoys me when I see them coming close up my rear

[@freespirit9981]

+Themeparkfanatic The best thing to do is go to court and tell them to show the video at the end. Catches them in a lie under oath, then for the most part no one will believe anything after that that they say.

[@freespirit9981]

+Greg L. also would sue for lost wages for the day.

[@Mentorcase]

Hilux driver needs to be removed from the road never to be allowed back, dangerous to everybody around.

[@wipout1]

You're a nice man for submitting this to Vic. Police. I would have just handed it over to the coroner.

[@chicken_timber]

Your ego is bigger than your brain.

[@ecovention]

Get a result from the cops

[@tutyfruty200]

Nah mate. Zero fucks were given by the cops.

[@Quarker]

tutyfruty200 that sucks. Why didn't they care? The footage clearly shows hilux instigating an accident.

[@WifeBTR123]

+tutyfruty200 yeah that sucks. Typical of the U.S. as well unfortunately. It's like if something bad doesn't happen, nothing gets done. There is another video on KZbin of the same exact thing, accept the truck doesn't slow down, he just keeps going and ends up pushing the car a few hundred feet down the road before stopping! LOL!!

[@Focusyn]

+Quarker Not really. At most, it just shows some dumb ass who can't drive.

[@sylviaelse5086]

+Focusyn Yes, that was my thought. This is the kind of thing you get when drivers use mobile phones.

[@Arcanus31]

"trying to intimidate a truck driver" change it to intimidates truck driver. because mission success, you should rammed him =}

[@chronic_x7299]

Lets not forget the dashcam that would of caught him doing that and result in him losing his job

[@stanstuben2961]

+Chronic_x turn off dash cam, use gun !!!

[@blake-green]

+Tony Stark, contrary to what most people appear to think, trucks break too. Most highway transport truckers like their trucks looking clean. The last thing they're going to want to do is intentionally damage the bodywork, so as to spend thousands fixing it again.

[@airwick4u]

+Jeremy Farrance It's ok, it's a Hilux. Those things are indestructible

[@REEFBLUENOTCH]

+airwick4u An attempt to inject humor, sure, but the fact is, it's a WORK truck, and nobody wants a truck rendered out of service because it is not generating revenue if it's in the shop.

[@olstar18]

I wonder why no one has attatched a loudspeaker system on the outside of their cab yet. Just imagine how fast someone would stop break checking if they heard 'attention dumbass you are on camera.'

[@Hunter-qu7sz]

I am pretty sure those are illegal

[@olstar18]

[@charliek49]

Bravo, I think you handled it very well! I congratulate you for your coolness, self-control and foresight! You saved yourself and the other driver a lot of trouble! You can be proud of yourself and keep a conscience for avoiding an accident with unforseen results.

[@kellyrayburn4093]

The instinct is to maintain speed and teach him a lesson when he refuses to yield and strikes the semi. But a cop would say, "Why didn't you slow down and yield to him? Just to prove a point? I'm citing you for reckless endangerment." And the officer would be completely within his discretion to issue such a citation Denting an ego is a small price to pay for not causing a death.

[@glas6297]

Driver if it's you or the guardrail....plow the road ...maintain your lane!!!

[@Allangulon]

If he keeps doing that sort of thing he will find out how un unbreakable his hilux really is.

[@uzijn]

He was showing you how annoying lane hoggers are, just like you were lane hogging when you joined the carriageway.

[@sheriethomas9931]

Good to see the mail was going to be delivered on time.

[@SergeofBIBEK]

I personally enjoy when people get in front of me and slow down. It's hilarious. They want to go fast. And now to bother someone else they aren't going fast. They are literally stopping themselves from doing what they want to do. Morons... but then the part where he cut you off... that was criminally insane.

[@darrylrichardson1997]

What a idiot

[@mickenoss]

This is why I love driving a shit car, I'll happily slam into a dickhead in an X5 if they're at fault just to prove a point =)

[@ktq9756]

[@48censor]

I like rentals. put lots of insurance on them.

[@hendrikskrijn]

HAHAHAHAHA genius ;)

[@skateboard341]

You are automatically at fault in a court of law if you rear end someone because you did not keep the appropriate stopping distance with the car in front of you! No excuses!

[@johnconway2302]

skateboard341 wrong again

[@SinkyYT]

If that was Russia the Hilux would have been pitted (hit from the side and forced into a spin).

[@TheBarbahaba]

+Sinky if it would have been in russia the Hilux driver would have thrown an empty vodka bottle on the truck while signaling left and slicing hard to the right obviously those accidents we see in russia are caused by reckless behavior but i dare to say mainly cause of bad unsafe roads and really bad weather and the combination of any 2 of them is deadly

[@sugarpiepuppy3623]

A semi would be the LAST vehicle I’d mess with. Some people are just ignorant

[@TheMrBitsy]

Why merge across two lanes when joining and not stay left? Are lane rules in Australia same as UK? Stop calling lanes slow, fast, middle, overtaking etc - lane 1, lane 2, lane 3 etc! All lanes are for overtaking, all lanes have same speed limit!

[@tcpnetworks]

No. On multi-lane roads under 80Km/h any vehicle can use any lane. The absence of the "keep left unless overtaking" signs are a cue to drivers that you may select any lane - typically because the road splits a little further up and such. On a multi-lane highway, where speeds are above 80, or are signposted with the "keep left/overtaking" sign, any vehicle shall stay to the left of the road, unless overtaking a slower vehicle. No exceptions - the Police bust 100's of drivers a day on this law alone. Mr Skateboarder - You can download a copy of the Unified Road Rules. I'd suggest you do that if you live in Australia - You clearly are oblivious to the basics.

[@skateboard341]

skateboard341 lol

[@Ra40Rob]

tcpnetworks Just to back you up its Australian road rule Reg 130. about keeping left.

[@NoticeForBlue]

Keep left, unless OVERTAKING. These are signs that are everywhere, in Australia. What bewilders me is how people think they're invisible and taking on 22 odd tonnes when you're 2 at the most. Idiots that buy 4wd's as runabouts in suburbia when they'd never even go bush, should be shot.

[@seanjordan4324]

skateboard341 you replyed to your own comment

[@Jackle61]

My bet is he was busy texting or on the phone, and we all know that takes priority over driving.

[@danielw2139]

It seems the Hilux driver did a good job of intimidating the truck, hence the lack of a crash.

[@elchivato9006]

I wonder if you cut him off at first.

[@MarcHershey]

+eL CHiVaTo I bet so. It doesn't matter if the Hilux merged in front of the semi, then slowed down.. the semi should have never got that close to the hilux. If this was one of my drivers, I would fire him.This was very unsafe driving on both parties, especially the semi driver, because it's his responsibility no matter how dumb or irrational the other driver is, It would have been the semi's fault if an accident had occurred.

[@terryyouth]

+Marc Hershey . hmm even i though when the semi got so close - okay- so he can brake in that short distance given that the driver in front is playing chicken

[@terryyouth]

astroboy979 the hilux driver is at fault anyway you cannot control that, the semi should not add to it- so if you were in the semi- you can control the situation from worsening

[@astroboy979]

+terryyouth morally yes. Legally no.

[@andrewc0128]

+astroboy979 You don't get to control how other people drive. The only thing you can do is not make the situation worse by following too closely. If the Hilux driver wanted to drive slowly, let him. If he wanted to change lanes, let him. If he wanted to sit on the highway for a bit, let him. In the end, I doubt that the Hilux driver drastically increased the truck driver's route time because he probably had to get somewhere fairly quickly. If the truck driver caused an accident by following too closely then likely people would have gotten badly injured, but almost everyone behind would have had their route times drastically increased just to prove a point. The road is not a place to take out your aggressions, and it isn't a place to dictate what other drivers do with their own vehicles. If you want to dictate what they do, become a policeman, judge or whatever else you want. As a truck driver, your only job is to get your product to its destination safely and in a reasonably adequate time frame.

[@fliteshare]

How about: "Idiot trucker, frivolously driving in the 3rd lane", without even attempting to overtake anybody. 500 euro ticket for you buddy !

[@TIMEtoRIDE900]

+fliteshare Shut up, Meg.

[@ostberg71]

+fliteshare Exactly! And why are you staying in the 3rd lane

[@stormking57]

Not in Eurotrash country.

[@shermko22]

I would of stood my ground and kept going.

[@4477superman]

That’s not safe. If you can do something to prevent an accident, and you don’t, then you are also at fault.

[@consaka1]

I'd have kept going when he tried to cut me off. He's beside you, which means you can accelerate past him. But then I have little patience for crap like that.

[@kellyjostad4900]

Ya. I get so mad seeing this stuff. I wish we could just run over these assholes.

[@waynegriffiths5143]

You moved to lane 3 way too early when you weren’t overtaking. That obviously annoyed the Hilux. You then exacerbated the situation by going to war with the Hilux in lane 4. Poor driving by both parties.

[@FutureTruckerJen101]

Do people really think a 3000 pound car is going to intimidate a guy/girl in a fucking metal beast weighing 80-100 thousand pounds?

[@FutureTruckerJen101]

What were you driving by the way?

[@Arcamean]

It's not DO they think it will but rather what's the consequences of doing so? No trucker wants to run over a car because he knows people can EASILY die and will nine times out of ten try to avoid an accident. Kudos to this trucker for not letting his rage get the best of him.

Good thing there were road safety cameras (speed cameras) operating in the area to prevent that sort of thing happening....Oh wait, they don't!!

[@markstoudenmire4935]

This video is exactly the reason why I could never be a truck driver; I would lose my license the first time someone tried that by bulldozing my way right through their car. Kudos to keeping it professional.

[@RR-yk6yl]

I believe this is Australia, one of few countries known for driving on the correct side of the road. As u might imagine I am a bias prick from the UK.

[@aedvark]

i used to be scared of big trucks on highways like that, but then i realized that the drivers are professionals and it their job to drive big rigs , they know what they are doing, not like some people who go from a small hatch to a big ute or 4x4 and think they are king of the road.

[@sonshinelight]

seems to me he succeeded in intimidating you. you done good. no harm, no foul. happens every day.

[@polloloci21]

Looks like he tried- and succeeded

[@aussieshooter5358]

The guy in the red Hilux went a bit too far, but I think maybe he was cut off a little when the truck indicated across two lanes without a 5 second pause. I could be wrong. I've seen much worse from people on Aussie roads.

[@spotrocker]

Aussie Shooter helix was probably comin in quick and truck comes over 2 lanes and gets in front of him..thinking thats what happened

[@jumpoffa5011]

[@alexrex20]

i would not have yielded to him

[@TheDriftdog]

See this is where if I was a truck driver, I'd end up being a serial killer!!

[@SteveLamberts]

Why move straight into the middle lane?

[@arkayenro8225]

if theres no one in it, and thats where you want to be, then why not? also, dual left exit lanes up ahead so it traffic banks up it shouldnt impact the two right lanes. its not illegal in any way. neither is undertaking here - so theres still two (or three) lanes to go around them if you really wanted to. so why shouldnt they do it if its safe to do so?

[@piercehawke8021]

That Toyota driver; I'm reasonably sure if you were able to pace him, he'd give up or risk having his truck destroyed. Hopefully, you notified your highway patrol/state police agency and, showed them the video.

[@DITCH1296]

I'm a UK Class1 Truck driver firstly, before being criticised "I don't know what I'm talking about" And yes we see Assholes on the road all day long like this, there is No excuse for the idiot in the red Toyota Hilux playing cat and mouse with a Heavy goods vehicle !! But that said, Don't Truck drivers in OZ know anything about "Lane Discipline" ? You guy's in OZ drive on the same side as the UK, we keep to the right hand side unless overtaking. We don't "HOG" all the other lanes, we leave that to the "Car driver" as we accept half of them got their licences in Corn Flake packets !! First rule of thumb when joining a highway dual carriage way etc, is to keep to the nearside lane, unless there is a slower vehicle or otherwise advised by Police or Highways. Not as this video clearly shows, the Truck driver pulls straight across 2 lanes and is sitting there for some time, when clearly the inside lanes are clear of traffic !! The trucks seem to be using any old lane, Most of the truck drivers in the UK class our profession, as "Professional Drivers" nothing I've seen here in this video convinces me of that, and looks to be a snipet of total mayhem. I need to make one thing clear here, I'm in No way backing the Arsehole in the Hilux, cause driving like that ends up in one place "The Morturary" But I seriously can't say the driver of the Truck was without fault either ! Education for both parties, but the Truck driver should know better.

[@Engineer9736]

It could be that the driver really had no idea what he was doing. Though it is all very coincidental. Braking for nothing and exactly shifting lanes when the truck tries to overtake. Strange indeed.

[@dragoiudaniel]

I guess you should also learn about lane hogging though

[@TheGfromleeds]

someone did this to me in my truck a few months back I just let him hit me! my wheel studs made one hell of a mess to the side of his car

[@didaloca]

We need to be able to use the outside lane in the UK, middle lane hoggers are infuriating!

[@PrivateCustard]

+Daniel Astbury No you don't. You already fuck up every two lane carriageway you're on. You're not getting the third lane too!

[@x3midnightsky3x]

+Private Custard I've driven my rig in the third lane or fast lane just for the fucks but that was only when I had the night shift and usually around the wee hours of the morning there was no traffic on the road I mean no one for miles. I'd be bored and alone driving on the empty road for miles so I'd drive the fast lane just cause, sometimes yell out the window or blow the truck horn to stay awake. XD but when there's traffic and such I let the 4 wheelers have their lane just don't fuck around in my lane. Like my dad says, "Lead, follow, or get the fuck out of the way"

[@nicwatson5152]

you mean like this truck driver that was sat in the middle lane... the whole fuckin time.. probably pissed the other bloke off

[@sylar1989]

I wouldn't slow down, I would of just ran right into him. He wants to play the intimidation game with a massive truck then ill play.

[@channel48]

true bro

[@channel48]

No that is not true , here in the Netherlands the cars are way more respectable to each other , and we have common sence and we are not stupid by taking idiotic actions , most that do are foreingn travellers and some locals , but they know they lose their license and our police don't play with death drivers..they see you as a murderer and so they will treat you , russiia BIG MAFFIA Land and police drive old cars and cannot even stop or control the roads..very very sad..I wish PUTIN would do something about that , cause many good Russians and my friends suffer from that bad behaviour of some RUSSIAN ROAD GANGSTERS Stupid ass people - I have spoken ..thank you ,.

[@roylinfordadams]

As a trucker I am forced to pass people on their right ALL THE TIME because morons never finished drivers ed. We are banned from the left lanes in my state so middle and right are the only choices and everyone thinks the middle is the slow lane. If it was me driving I would NOT have activated my breaks. He made a lane change with no signal and was driving slower than the traffic to his right. Had he hit the truck it clearly would have been counted as his fault for failure to yield and distracted driving since he could have only made such a dumb move if he wasn't looking..... unless he admits he did it deliberately.

[@skateboard341]

He signaled out of view of the camera

[@tcpnetworks]

skateboard341 AND IT WAS AN ILLEGAL MERGE! EVER HEARD OF GIVE WAY TO THE RIGHT? You can't just slam the indicator on and turn in! It's ILLEGAL to do so. If the truck driver slammed him, it would be the Hilux's fault.

[@dgphi]

Roy Adams I'm guessing you are American. In Australia we drive on the left, and the right hand lane is the fast lane. Passing on the right in the video was a completely normal thing to do.

John Conway They don't care that's for courts to decide. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law

[@GaryCameron780]

In Canada if this video were given to police, the Hilux owner would likely be charged with carless driving, driving without due consideration or something along those lines. Possibly anti road rage laws come into play. Had there been a collision and this video shown to insurance, the Hilux would likely be deemed at fault.

[@CapAnson12345]

First thing I do when I get my truck: Camera.

[@combatwombat71]

Poor lane choice - what's wrong with the inside lane? But - the Hilux was changing lanes, not you. I'd have held your ground and let him hit you. His fault.

[@TheGhostWhisperer]

I never let them win. Why in hell did you let him over take you? Need to change your title to I'm a pssy, he intimidated me

[@neriksen]

Careful buddy, you failed to pause to look before changing into the second lane. Fine and demerits coming up soon. One lane change at a time.. Period

[@timcooke5939]

He didnt "try" to intimidate the truck driver. He DID intimidate the truck driver. Rightly or wrongly the truck driver backed off.

[@djmocok]

The truck driver's mistake: Merging lane and then continues to change lane. That's one of my pet peeves. I think he must have forced the Hilux to suddenly slow down because the truck driver kept merging and switching to next lane without pause.

[@freightliner616]

Is this Australia?

[@StephenBoyd21]

Wasn't even worth posting.

[@GrannyLaLa1960]

My husband is a retired truck driver. He pulled off the side of the highway and was building up his speed when a pickup came up behind him. Since it was a 2 lane highway and hilly the truck couldn't get around. Now the pickup wasn't in sight when my husband pulled out just that the truck the company had were geared down. Anyway the pickup managed to get around my husband then got on the CB to harass my husband. Pickup driver slowed down so my husband lost the speed he built up for the hills and the guy said he was going to slam on his brakes so the 18 wheeler could hit him. My husband told him to go ahead but who did he think would really win that fight?? Pickup driver must have finally gained an ounce of sense and got on out of the way.

[@ExpieMF]

So the cops had no problem with you failing to give sufficient indication of a lane change, failing to keep left, and failing to maintain a safe following distance? Cool story bro.

[@biglowe4776]

I drive trucks for a living,,, and everyday I'm in the slow lane doing the speed limit,,, you always get the cars that speed up to get in front of you only to go slow and try to piss you off

[@zero2blur]

You're driving on the wrong side of the road, for one thing! :D

[@Iwasshocked]

There are two idiots here. First Hilux was wrong to impede progess of traffic, but once he had demonstrated agression it was no surprise to see him demonstrate stupidity at 1.34 and again block the truck. At 1.35 truck should have been off the throttle. Blowing the horn doesn't help either. It inflames, not improves a situation. The truck backed off to avoid a collision so nothing was gained for the truck in the end. If a collision had occurred both drivers would have shared blame.

[@aaronzulu8203]

Tailgating and preventing someone from entering your lane while they are signalling illustrates the lack of patience and road decorum that invites contempt from law-abiding drivers out there.

[@xn7331]

just because someone has their turn signal on doesn't automatically mean that they can turn or merge. they still have to look where they're going and make sure there's room. in this case, there wasn't, but the asshole kept coming in.

[@gsd4me00]

Aaron Zulu The truck had already changed lanes and was in the process of overtaking the ute, which then forced its way in front.. Open your eyes and you will see that.

[@BornAgainCynic0086]

Aaron Zulu Look up the rules on changing lanes without caution.

[@aaronzulu8203]

Jeff H I hear ya... both parties were at fault of submitting to retaliatory behavior, and both parties committed citeable offenses (at least by American road standards). But the truck filming initiated it by tailgaiting and attempting to pass on the right and treating a heavy vehicle which probably requires special licensing to operate as if it were a smaller personal vehicle. KnowhatImean?

[@BornAgainCynic0086]

We agree to disagree. Do you call being brake tested tailgating? It was not an attempt to change lanes, it was a successful lane change and the Red car knew exactly what he was doing. If there had been a collision the law would be on the trucks side. 1/ Road Rage (brake testing) 2/ Changing lanes without caution. Heavy vehicles can overtake in the RH lane here.

Dear sir/madam, On behalf of all us Toyota truck/suv owners, I apologize for this POS. Im sure we all believe that POS should not represent us Toyota owners and should be stripped of this Taco ownership. Sincerely, A '14 4Runner owner

[@rogerlivsey7558]

he's probably making a point as to your driving into the faster lane when not going past people. causing traffic

[@dagben77]

I don't know if the rules are the same in Aus, but in the UK, a lorry pulling straight out into lane 3 for no reason with no intention of overtaking anything would be considered poor driving. The lane chop in front of you was obviously just stupidity though.

[@kanealson5200]

He clearly put on his signal before you arrived accelerating.

[@ahgvbc3210]

He is doing the same thing you did. "Slow merging"

[@hawkdaddy64]

You put them into the wall once and they never do that shit again.

[@Vova3iLvova]

``the footage has been submitted to the Victoria police`` did you get a response from them?

[@uknowispeaksense7056]

As soon as I read "Idiot in a hilux...." I thought "yep".

[@Luke_MoonWalker]

Semi Truck Weight: 80,000 lbs Red Truck Weight: 4500 lbs. Who you think's gonna win?

[@robsimpson6537]

He was trying to get you to hit him. I’m glad you have the dash camera.

[@hi11arygoddamc1itton6]

a professional truck driver has a higher level of accountability, and you weren't using your horn defensively, you were using it offensively

[@Spartan111792]

Should have maintained your lane and let the car pit maneuver itself.

[@theboxer5]

People follow too closely in Australia by only 1 second. They should follow by at least 3 seconds, and 4 to 5 seconds on rainy day.

[@dudeduderinoduderino9689]

+NetRep Point is IF YOU leave such a gap YOU will get a wombat [ dumb piece of shit who thinks he/she has the right to do this] WHO WILL come into that safety zone and then that causes your distance to dramatically shrink to a dangerous level. These drivers should have their licenses taken off them and not allowed for 5 years...........Fellow truck driver for a few years,speaking from experience here.....ps I would have hit him and then that would have been his fault,because the car driver FAILED to give way,when it wasnt safe to proceed into another lane.

[@theboxer5]

I drive profesionally too in the USA. I always keep a 4 seconds following distant and have no problem with that. Just drop back another 4 seconds if someone cut in.

[@TheGfromleeds]

someone did this to me in my truck a few months back I just let him hit me! my wheel studs made a right mess to the side of his car

[@hawaiisidecar]

I always wanted a Hilux, instead I got a Great Wall.

[@RangieNZ]

Which has the safety rating of a soda-can..

[@TheFridge]

A 911 tried this crap on me when I was in my XF falcon. I failed to yield and he nearly cleaned up a truck. Sometimes it is better to let the dickhead in so that you can abuse someone later, rather than be witness to a fatality...

[@sharky09000]

The Hilux driver shows no road awareness or just simply does not care about other road users, i have suffered from the same type of deluded halfwit here in the UK.

[@markaylott1780]

Typical hilux driver. I would have stood my ground, if he had hit you he would've been in the wrong and you could've got a paid holiday after claiming loss of wages whilst your truck was getting fixed. I'm so sick of dealing with these bullies.

[@MrPomdownunder]

well it is the best selling car in Aus....

[@scammellman5239]

Roo bars! I would have customised his hilux for him it would have been called a TOYOTA SHITLUCK. .

[@patrickwatters7555]

I would have fed him the back of that lorry. You're too kind.

[@BriggsGuy54]

Id be a little pissy too if you were to ride me that hard in the center lane.
