truck rear-ends road rager

this happened in Norway. Sorry about the text in the video, not much I can do about that tbh, but the guy in the Mini Cooper lost his license for 11 months and had to pay a fine.

+ Bad driving You are obviously an idiot. 1. It is NEVER o.k. to ram someone unneccessarily as a revenge act. We live in a country of law and order not in the stone age. 2. In this case it seems that the trucker took the right of way from the small car, and forced him to brake, what is a violation of traffic rules. So I completely understand that this car driver was angry. He sort of overreacted, but at least he did not cause any damage.

[@fobbitoperator3620]

Unfortunately here in the US, that trucker would out of a job, & would have a VERY tough time getting another.

[@CZ350tuner]

Over here in the UK the driver of the car would be fined and automatically banned for dangerous driving and reckless endangerment on a public highway. In the UK if somebody brake checks somebody and it goes bad for them, they are liable for all damages incurred. They cannot claim on the other vehicle's insurance as they broke the law.

[@valerierodger7700]

misanthrop1958 You might want to be careful how you toss around the term idiot. 1. The trucker did not ram the car as a revenge act or anything else. The driver of the car decided to come to a complete stop on the highway in front of a tractor-trailer unit that was significantly heavier and couldn't stop as quickly. That's why the trucker wasn't charged. 2. The car did not have right of way. The video points out the road markings and the sign indicating zipper merge. The trucker appropriately adjusted his speed and had the right away over the Mini at the merge based on positioning. The trucker did not violate any traffic rules. Meanwhile, the driver of the Mini did more than over react - he drove in a manner that only by chance did not get anybody killed. When he illegally cross the double yellow line, he came very close to a head-on collision with the oncoming car. He then illegally impeded traffic on the highway by slowing to a near stop, which caused the collision. Because of his moronic choice of places to stop, everybody behind them on highway was then stuck behind them because there's a guardrail on the right and oncoming traffic on the left. That's why the driver of the Mini ended up with the equivalent of $1450 in fines and an 11 month driving suspension - the judge stated the crossing of the double yellow and the sudden braking created highly dangerous situations.

[@scmtuk3662]

For those who want an English translation of the text: The recordings are from a dashcam on a truck. The car behind reacts when the truck drives onto the road. Later the consequences. Follow to the end. But what does the Road Traffic Act say about how to merge traffic? According to NAF, the driver of the truck is all right. The sign indicates fields with acceleration and merging. The driver accelerates early and adjusts to the speed of the road. Road marking specifies merge field. The merge starts where the marking ends. The driver finds a big enough gap to drive into. Both have a mutual duty. One will adjust the speed, and the other will make room. The driver in the car behind makes an illegal overtake because he is slowing down. He has explained in Sør-Trøndelag district court that he would stop the truck jumper because he meant he was irresponsible. The driver in the blue car was sentenced to pay a fine and banned for 11 months.

The only problem with all this is if he doesn't show the video to the police then it's going to be hard to prove a road rage incident and because he was hit the car from behind he's at fault but if he does show the video then it shows him intentionally hitting the car from behind even though the whole incident was from road rage. Honestly it probably will work out better if he shows the video because at least the other guy would also be charged.

Well, where I come from, when you hit someone stopped in the road, it is your fault. That does NOT mean the person who stopped for no good reason is a nice guy, he's not.

Then the mini driver says "I'm not having this" and proceeds to overtake when he shouldn't, endangering completely innocent people in the process. And yet, despite the need to hoot the horn AND overtake the truck, he had all the time in the world to slam on the brakes resulting in the collision. Incredible, right?

Back around 1971 I was driving a semi with a refrigerated trailer. I was based in Florida and mostly ran up and down I-95 to New York and Ontario hauling produce. I-95 wasn't completely finished yet and you still had to run short sections of 2 lane that ran through small towns. Once there was an accident that I didn't see but came upon shortly after it had happened. There was a car that was mostly flat that had what was left of its occupants still oozing out what was left of the windows. Very gruesome. The story goes, there were a couple of older ladies in a car with a fully loaded semi behind them bypassing a part of the unfinished interstate. They were approaching a red light when it turned yellow. Apparently the ladies slammed on the brakes for the light unexpectedly. The semi couldn't stop and as he swerved to miss them he only got over far enough for the wheels of one side of his tractor trailer to run right over the center of the car rear to front. I can promise you that you are playing with fire by brake checking big trucks. It is a very stupid thing to do.

[@supergoober1021]

You see this with people trying to make a left turn across two lanes from a driveway. The first lane is stopped for a light or something. They pull out far enough to see the next lane has traffic coming in hot and fast. Rather than punch it to complete their turn, they stop, right in the lane and just wait to get T-boned.

I see one mistake that the truck driver made and that was not to indicate left ánd move over to the left lane earlier, seeing that the right lane was ending. He waited a bit too long and then moved over left quite fast which then, in all probability, caused the Mini driver to think that the truck was giving him space to pass him before the two lanes merged.

How is it clear the mini was behind and not besides, can you hear a flipping mini horn 40 ft behind you?? NO! That mini was next to his cab, and the trucker forced him off the road, like all the other dumb ass truckers out there. They have this mentality that since their bigger, people will move.

[@benth162]

I don't know how it is in Norway, but here in America when your lane ends it is up to you to make sure the lane you are merging into does not already have a car moving along side of you which is the case with that Mini Cooper. The truck drive was at fault for squeezing out the Mini. I would have also been as pissed as that Mini driver, but what he did after the fact would get him a ticket here in the States because it is against the law to Brake Check anyone on a freeway or anywhere for that matter. We don't know how long the truck is or where the Mini was exactly when he blew his horn at the truck, so any evidence presented in the video only shows the Mini driver brake checking the truck. In America I believe that truckers know better than to just squeeze out cars riding next to them. In Russia that is a different story, as their truckers apparently do not have any compunctions against just driving wherever it pleases them regardless of where the cars are.

[@powe300]

Maybe you don't understand the rules of the road Powe300. Any merging vehicle to a lane they are not in does NOT have the right away even if they have their blinker on. You may not like that but you might avail yourself of the law. Even if that mini was just a little bit ahead of the tail of the truck where he could not see the blinker, he still had the right away and it was up to the trucker to look in his rear view mirrors to make sure is was safe to merge. Your bit about the mini speeding up is pure conjecture you use to make your argument seem legitimate.

[@benth162]

And my fine feathered friend, it is morons like you who ACTUALLY PROVE MY POINT !!! If a driver wants special attention about his or her intention they put on their turn signal. It then become a question of access. It does not give the merging driver any rights over the flow of traffic of the "through lane". If you want access, you ask. It is that simple. Switching on your turn signal is not a demand as most people such as yourself believe. While it might be moral to share merging efforts on congested road ways, it is not written in stone that through traffic must give you that access just because you have your turn signal on. Trucks are a special issue because of their length, but it still does not give them rights above everyone else on the road. This argument boils down to our legal rights, over moral and ethical considerations. CAPICHE ?

In Norway, where this video is recorded, you have to yield to the merging vehicle if it's ahead of you, so the truck driver did nothing wrong in this video. He adapted his speed to the other car, then blinked and merged. The minidriver is at 100% fault in both situations ;) An honest question tho about this situation in the US: Do you mean that the truck driver would have to wait until it was all clear in the lane he was merging into? So he could in theory sit there for hours given the cars in the lane he wanted into never let him out?

[@betsyhughes2208]

The not giving way to a merging truck was just stupid but the overtaking in traffic over double lines into oncoming cars, then braking in front of the moving truck is suicidal at the very least!!!! Take away the license now!!!!!!!!!😵😵

[@comcfi]

All of the commentary is misspelled

[@lennyvee5735]

why cut the end off

[@robshearing2131]

the whole time i thought he was honking at the merc , now i see it was that mini. bongos

[@Coquillages]

Surprises me how people think truck drivers care about their company's truck vs your privately owned vehicle.

[@NToombes]

Utter ridiculous of the mini driver. When the lorry was going to have to merge in to the main lane he or she should have just backed off and let him in. Just pure pathetic driving...

[@110311DONTWANTCHANNE]

did the truck force his way in front on the mini cooper on the merge? i couldn't tell if the truck even tried to stop....looks like another case of 2 wrongs don't make a right....even if the mini cooper should have allowed room for a merge, when he didn't, the truck shouldn't have forced his way in.

[@jasonc422]

ain’t no insurance claim, that mini cooper got no damage 😂

[@HM2SGT]

I can’t read the language, but plainly selfishness, impatience and stupidity are universal

[@Sam-hf8nq]

Love the fading car horn (2x). Priceless.

[@Ethan-ck6iz]

They put all their mental capacity into honking the horn instead of steering their car clear of trouble.

[@kd7bwb12]

This video was in my KZbin recommended page... What! No resolution? Where’s judge sentencing this guy to drive in NASCAR for a year, against a D8 Cat...

[@alanrogs3990]

People these days DO NOT want to be polite and use their brakes. I mean how hard is it to brake and let someone in, even if you don't have to? Just be nice. I do it all the time. I'm never in a real hurry to risk something unpleasant. When I'm merging and a semi goes over into the middle lane I will wave thanks to them. How hard is that?

[@th5841]

Agreed! But the truck driver didn't cross any line. This was a mutual "zipper" merge. The sign at 0:29 shows this. He did what was expected of him and the Mini driver lost his license for 11 months.

[@sonnyburnett8725]

The goal is to not be involved in an accident. Your car gets screwed up, your insurance goes up and you spend time and money on the side of the road doing things you never want to do.

[@burnerjack01]

"Now, go back and tell the others..."

[@Nurse_Diesel]

I think he needs to stick with a bike as his intelligence level prohibits him from operating a car with lots of switches and knobs. He did surprise me with his impression of a semis hood ornament.

[@davidknight5863]

The mini driver has deliberately caused this problem and deservedly had damage to it by childishly causing you to go into the back of him by braking for no other reason than playing the fool. Serves him right , he should receive a fine plus driving ban too.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

I will never understand why people see a lane ending and instead of allowing merging traffic to move over they decide it's a great time to pass.

[@russs7574]

Because people like that assume that wherever they are going is more important than where anybody else on the road is going, and God forbid even one additional vehicle gets in front of them and delays them another 2 seconds. And if it's not that, sometimes drivers go on a little "power trip," like, "I'm not letting you merge. You can wait for me to get past you."

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

he didn't pass, he was next to the truck already as the truck came down the on-ramp where he's supposed to give way to traffic on the main road; But he simply forced his way through as he's larger and heavier

[@Ethan-ck6iz]

That combined with the people behind you who merge on to the exit ramp you're taking, then speed way up so you can't merge.

[@terryrussel3369]

If only all vehicles had 360 camera protection . . .

[@louisp.3332]

Why did it stop???

[@philliptaylor4544]

so you are merging into traffic and you think they should yield to YOU? no, in reality, all traffic that is merging must yield the right of way to traffic already present, even if it means coming to a complete stop in YOUR LANE and waiting for traffic to dissipate, under no circumstances is traffic required to LET YOU IN!

[@usaisnojoke]

I like how the plate of the Idiot is "blurred" out but not the rest of the drivers. Staged.

[@jespers6898]

I wonder how he got a driver license..

[@RabidWolf1966]

not sure on the laws in Norway, but in USA you're requeired to yeild to traffic that's coming into the main lanes

[@t4705mb6]

It's the same the world over. Unfortunately there are a LOT of assholes the world over as well.

[@cornel999]

not sure about this. who was beeping when the truck merged at the beginning? was that the blue car, unseen, behind the truck? looked like the truck was closing too close to the white car at merge, but maybe he was trying to fit between the white and blue car? blue car had to slow down to let the truck in, that's why he's pissed?

[@thomasleach1284]

Thumbs down for end cards

[@ignorantzombie]

I don't understand people thinking you are slowing me down so now I'm going to slow you down. What's the point when you are only slowing yourself down more??

[@wrbutler3681]

The truck causes a very mildly uncomfortable moment by merging into a close gap. Mini wants to teach you a lesson by crossing a double yellow line on a blind turn, narrowly avoiding a head-on collision, only to slam on the brakes and give you no room to stop.

[@DimwitDrive]

Hi Phavela, hope you're well! May I have your permission to feature this clip on my channel? Thanks for your consideration.

[@barryrainey556]

Love to see how they explain that one to the magistrate.

[@Merlin86UK]

If doing that here resulted in you losing your licence, maybe people here wouldn't drive so badly.

[@lindaj5492]

Road rangers should remember that big vehicles almost certainly have dashcams 🙄

[@spartan7911]

My goodness, Norway is very beautiful!

[@John-ob7dh]

And VERY expensive.

[@herculesbrofister265]

Too bad the vid cut when it did, i would have loved to see what he/she/it looked like

[@louloufitz86]

How big does your ego have to be to take on a lorry when you're driving a Mini? That driver shouldn't have a licence.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

neither should the truck driver be on the road when he ignores to give way and simply forces his way onto the main raod ...

[@NT-fo3me]

The text on the video reminds me of the opening credits to Monty Python and the Holy Grail

[@segovia102]

The only way for the mini driver to get ahead of the truck at the merge would be to accelerate and get too close to the car in front. If they had looked to the right they should have seen the truck and anticipated that they would need to slow down to allow room for the truck to merge. The fact the mini driver immediately gets out before pulling in to the right further illustrates a lack of concern for their own safety and that of other road users.

[@leomsd]

Ended early, where is the next part?

[@vindictivetiger3958]

and now, he's on camera making this truck driver's case for him.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

the trucker has also on cam how he himself didn't care about giving way and just merged ...
