[@jakester455]

I drove around 220 miles a day for a long time, and getting cut off and drivers failing to yield only happened on days that ended in Y. In other words, ALL THE TIME. The difference is some drivers won't back off a few meters because, I guess, "They're in the right." What does it cost you to back off or change lanes if the lane is clear? I don't understand this insatiable need to push it like that. If you just back off a couple meters (I've done it thousands of times), everybody gets home safe, with less stress, without spending hours filling out paperwork. So what if you're right and they're an idiot? That's the normal state of the world. And blowing the horn after an incident because you're mad doesn't do a damn thing. An idiot thinks you're the idiot, horn or no horn. Also those one percenters weren't even close. They know exactly what they're doing. That part was not video worthy.

At the 1:50 mark, the trucker could have slowed and let the car in. Yeah, it pisses me off when cars rush to get in front of others, but to keep speeding up and not letting the person in is an invention for causing an unneeded accident. Record the license and turn the footage over to your company so they can file a complaint with the police. I'm no crying baby about driving - been driving for 40 years - and even now I grit my teeth and swear about how stupid drivers are - but I will back off because causing damage to my car and possibly injuring myself (or others) simply is not worth it to prove a point to a stupid assed driver

[@marxtruck]

When the 4 wheeler came off the ramp he was trying to merge, he wasn't racing ahead he was trying to merge at the point he arrived at the end of the ramp. The trucker was tailgating and an ass for not allowing him to merge. (I drive truck too 3 mil plus) Had he turned the footage over to his safety dept, he would have been dressed down for it.

[@mybenzw123]

"but I will back off because causing damage to my car and possibly injuring myself (or others) simply is not worth it to prove a point to a stupid assed driver" maybe not but now these entitled drivers are expecting to be let in so they will continue to do this. If everyone stopped letting them in, then many, if not all these entitled idiots will stop trying to cut others off. Am i not saying i never let anyone in. I do let others in, if there is room to move over I'll move over or if you've been sitting waiting to merge then i'll gladly let you in. but if you're trying to force me to let you in by being entitled, impatient and especially went the road behind me is clear and i can't move over then i'm gonna make you wait.

[@ArmyBikerVet]

@@mybenzw123 I've been there. I drove trucks after my first stint in the Army because I was looking to stay busy and didn't want to sit behind a desk. I had those assholes cut in front of me and some even play chicken with me. But that forced me to become a more conscious driver and watch what others were doing. I could tell by the way a lot of these videos go that some of the "drivers" didn't even bother slowing down because they wanted to prove a point. I'm very much aware that "entitled drivers" (assholes, as I call them) will always feel they have a right to cut in front of others (Oh, they have great breaks because they are bigger vehicles --- SMH --- I've heard that too many times) will always feel like they should be catered to and allowed to drive whatever way they want and EVERYONE has to get out of their way. But not backing off when it is possible is a good way to cause an accident. Trust me, I get how you feel - but the truth is - we're never going to resolve the issues. There will always be asshole drives -

[@oh8wingman]

A couple of years ago I was riding across Montana on my motorcycle and I got stuck behind two semi's who were about 10MPH lower than the speed limit on a two lane narrow shoulder road. The front semi was a loaded highboy while the rear was an empty B-train flat deck. We came to the crest of a hill and I checked and there was no oncoming traffic so I shoulder checked, signaled into the other lane to pass. I was about 1/2 way past the B-train when the truck veered into my lane and began to squeeze me hard onto the 3' wide shoulder. The driver never signaled nor did he check his mirrors (When passing other vehicles I make it a practice to keep their face in view in their side mirrors.) Since I no had no idea of where the car that had been following me was I chose to drop a cog and accelerate past the trucks and it had to be quick because there was a lot of breakage on the shoulder asphalt coming up real fast. I passed the B-train doing about 100MPH and when I got to the front of the cab I could have reached out and touched the front wheel. Even when the driver of the truck knew I was there he never slowed down. He simply didn't care whether he killed me or not. When I got in front of him I gave him the finger and kept going. About 20 miles down the road I pulled in and stopped for gas. The loaded semi pulled in shortly after and the driver came over and asked if I was okay and remarked about what an assh*le the other driver had been. He told me he got the plate and unit numbers along with the companies name and said he was going to phone and raise hell with their safety department. He wanted to know if I wanted the information and I said no it would do little good since I was on my way home to Canada. He asked for my phone number in case he needed a witness to what had happened and I gave it to him. The next day the other driver called me and told me to expect a call from the B-trains owners since he had called them. The following day I got a call from the trucking company that owned the B-train called and they asked for my version of the story so I told them and then sent an email so they would have something in writing. The next day I received an email back saying that the driver had been dismissed and marked not for re-hire and would always receive a poor reference should anyone call. I also got a thank you for helping to get rid of a bad egg before he killed some one or wrecked the truck. It's nice to know that some truckers and trucking companies give a damn.

[@davet127]

I have been having fun with another member on this vid about the bikers in this vid. They of course are not being respectful to others on the road nor playing it very safe. However notice the patch and know that they live by a different code. I explained to the other member your welcome to stop by a club house and explain it to them - but I was just being a dick as I don't see getting upset about how these guys in this vid ride. This is because yes the members of 81 and other clubs can ride hard - however like the bad truck driver you related to us in your comment - these guys do not present the norm - the second driver you dealt with is what most good truckers are - just like the bikers in this vid don't reflect the good riding habits of millions of riders in Canada and the USA.

Just early this morning a third-party truck pulling an Amazon trailer driving 75 mph in a 65 mph zone tried to see how close he could get to my F-150 before suddenly steering into the left lane to pass. The left lane was clear for at least 1/2 mile but the truck driver came within 3 feet of my F-150 tailgate before steering into the left lane to pass. Then he merged back into the right lane and did the same thing again to the next car.

I sent the video to Amazon but I doubt anything happened...I did nothing at all wrong and had I continued on at the speed limit, he'd be dead.

amazing. i drove truck up and down the east coast for 4 years. i would have made a career out of it. watching these videos, is why i called it quits. people just don't have a clue!! i have had my drivers side mirror smashed, almost been creamed in a truck stop by a driver that can't back up. that really doesn't count the near misses like this video shows. most of the big rig drivers are the best, but young studs think they can haul ass with a 53 ft trailer behind them and if they kill someone, oh well. and don't get me started on the drivers looking for the next lot lizard. all you big rig drivers be careful, because you know it is only going to get worse.

[@armedfarm3429]

It's a pisser when a car just wants to pull in because he thinks he's entitled. BUT semi drivers could tap the slow pedal, it wouldn't kill you

[@JBliehall]

True. they might be morons, but why "trade paint?"

[@darrennicholas860]

Great video man be safe cuz

[@veekatore8983]

Driving without a dash camera feels like driving without wearing seatbelts.. Most times these idiots will blame others even you when it's totally their fault. Also it's needed to stop your own ins company from giving you blame to reduce payouts and raise your rates. Anyone that has progressive or Geico should always be recording. Those 2 companies spend over 1.3 Billion alone on advertising. .Yes with a B! I have been hit a few times and witnessed other accidents and when you have proof it's game over!!! lol One lady rear ended me and wanted to pay by cash. I couldn't due to a brand new company car. When they got the bill she changed her story and blamed me for not going when the light turned green. My video showed I was the 5th car and the other cars ahead of me hadn't moved. I sent the video to my company and too the ladys ins and they settled asap! lol Also protected my ins level as well. Also recorded a hit and run and sent video to the police and the poor people hit and it really helped.

[@dk3062]

I kept thinking "Ok Gorman" was his name for dumb drivers. It finally dawned on me...

[@philiproyd6563]

My rule has and always will be when passing a semi, continue to be in the passing lane until you can see both of the trucker's headlights in the rearview mirror before merging back into the right-hand lane.

[@ralphholiman7401]

I think a lot of people have never read those words on the side view mirror "vehicles are closer than they appear" and use the side view mirror to judge when to pull over. The rear view mirror gives you a truer picture of distance and when it's safe to pull back into the lane.

[@ToolofSociety]

That is the way I was taught and the way merging after passing is supposed to be taught. You can find that wordage in various state laws. You are to wait until you can see the vehicle in your rear view mirror before changing back into the non passing lane.

[@philiproyd6563]

The annoying part is having a tailgater behind you while passing the semi with the passing rule in mind.

[@ShaunHensley]

My rule is to always merge traveling 15 mph faster than traffic, that way you can pick an open spot and sit in it without causing anyone to brake

[@ShaunHensley]

@@philiproyd6563 That’s a perfect scenario to use your signal

[@CarlosRodriguez-hb3vq]

Driving a steady 62mph with doubles, no cars ahead of or behind me for miles, I’ve had cars merge into me, then honk and flip me off, apparently because I “wouldn’t let them in.”

[@nunyabusiness4026]

I suspect the first clip was the road captain giving the pack instructions to change lane

[@eranorion]

Life Hack: Stay right, except to pass!!

[@Rrrakanishu]

The sad part about when people get mad at us truckers for not letting them in on the freeway because of traffic in the left lane had already cleared by the time they get behind us so they rage and flip us off thinking we do it on purpose. I can't speak for other truck drivers, some do it on purpose, but please, understand most of us are good people just trying to make a living. Your small 5 minute inconvenience of a trucker not letting you in is nothing compared to the 70 hours a week of bullshit we put up with from people in cars. Be patient, be safe, and always remember 40 tons can't stop OR MERGE in a split second, or at your behest.

[@descendantofphineas7785]

I have been driving over 35 years in semi, a wild and sad crash, a 4 wheeler had to pass me on the right, he was in the getoff lane, at night, 3 empty lanes on my left, just him and me on hwy, he was doing over a 100 to pass me, he did not see the 3 ft high gravel burm on the shoulder after his getoof lane ended, he did a dukes of harzard right past me, his wheels were at window height, flew into the side of the hill. DOA.

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

@0:22, that’s called crossing the “Gore point” where those white chevrons were. Most states, it’s a moving violation ticket.

To be a trucker seems to be more stressful then to be a pilot Merry Christmas and Good luck to all on the road

[@pukeschannel6882]

Unfortunately, I don't think I would want this guy who posted these videos driving in my state...........ever!

[@hankardg]

The first video (bikers) are your Local HA MC club. The truck driver would have been their "cattle guard" if he had hit them!

[@ricos6243]

Speeding up to not let a car get in front of you isn't them cutting you off. 3:37. You can see it plane as day.

[@ronaldstorberg2677]

Driver at 1:39...wouldn't have killed you to back off just a little bit and let that 4wheeler in....you are a professional??

[@RobertSmith-bc9uk]

#2 Ray N It is nice to see that this truck driver has spent his dollars well when he bought his dash camera. A very high quality resolution (possibly 2880 p) so there is no disputing what is recorded..

[@peanutman6593]

There are abundant idiots in cars and in trucks. That’s why I never bought another motorcycle.

[@patticrompton4425]

Push on the skinny petal when merging. Or if you car can't go fast enough fall behind the other vehicle.

[@oscargrouch7962]

I also am amazed at how many car drivers will come down a long entrance ramp at 55 mph on to a 70 mph speed highway then take an additional 10 seconds at 55 mph before finally remembering they have an accelerator pedal. Car drivers should accelerate to highway speed before merging on to the driving lane.

[@nightpaws3621]

If you are referring to the one at the 2 minute mark note the truck closes the gap... not a pro just an asshole in my opinion he/she/it drives a 70000lb vehicle and can't let a smaller car get infront I commute the highway every day and the exact same spot leaving the city is a gridlock of merging because of people like this I literally watched it start a few Times a rig refuses to let a car in they go on the shoulder and boom 6hrs of no one gets home on time

[@Lemmon714_]

7:40, why I never have my tandems more than halfway up when I pull a single.

[@blitzrule]

unfortunately the truck driver filming was also at fault and/or being an asshole for not letting other cars merge onto traffic

[@ow-my-achilles1106]

Saw that too. A few of the close calls were entirely his fault.

[@debeeriz]

if this is recorded by the same person, l suggest he take a defensive driving course,

[@mark32163]

Exactly, he may be right but don't be dead right.

[@Normal1855]

It isn't. But how about the other vehicles take a defensive driving course? The trucks, in this video, aren't at fault.

[@JBliehall]

@@Normal1855 Clearly this guy is in some instances. This is a truck driver that could many times could have forced the situation and gotten someone hurt or killed because of his "I'M IN THE RIGHT AND YOU"RE WRONG!!!" mentality. You can be pissed at the guy for being a moron and not entering your lane correctly but laying on your horn and forcing him off the road and into a situation where he well might hit your $100,000 rig or possibly cause a fatal accident is beyond being stupid. This guy clearly has anger issues.

[@debeeriz]

@@Normal1855 there is a rule in my country that says you must be able to stop within half the distance of the clear road head of you. ln one clip the trucker was tailgating trying to stop a car from merging, he would be done for that if a cop saw that here, our laws say you merge like a zip, 1 from the merge lane between 2 cars on the freeway when there is lots of traffic, our on ramps have lights to stop multiple cars trying to merge when the freeways are busy

[@safetypete9407]

So many of these could have been prevented by either driver, being self righteous doesn't make you right

[@Greydawg]

00:07 Such cute couples!

[@mjcs6399]

Funny the more I watched the more sympathy I had for the other drivers, not the trucker. He's particularly rigid with merging traffic and won't yield for much of anything until the last second. Very entitled driving.

[@JBliehall]

Sadly that's true. This is a truck driver that could easily have forced the situation and gotten someone hurt or killed because of his "I'M IN THE RIGHT AND YOU"RE WRONG!!!" mentality. You can be pissed at the guy for being a moron and not entering your lane correctly but laying on your horn and forcing him off the road and into a situation where he well might hit your $100,000 rig or possibly cause a fatal accident is beyond being stupid.

[@Stigsens1]

1:45 the truck should clearly let him in earlier, the cars bumper was in front. Such truck drivers should take a new test

[@JBliehall]

[@mtatom92345]

I notice that this truck driver fails to let merging vehicles in. It might be annoying but you have to slow enough to let merging vehicles in. That’s breaking the law.

[@BubbaBlue79]

Ummm.... The ramp merger is the one that is supposed to be yielding. Thats why there is a triangle sign on the side of the road that says Yield. Slowing down to let someone on is blocking the flow of traffic.

[@outka5tz]

At least one of these clips happens to me daily going to or from work. Sometimes both lmao. Hell last night I had one merge 20 under the speed limit forcing the guy in front of me and myself to slam on our brakes even though he didn’t need to merge yet, then 10 minutes later I was right next to a car that flipped their turn signal on and without looking just started coming at me. At least they used their blinker ey? Thankfully I’m not in a semi at least.

[@petercrowl9467]

Northbound I25 coming out of Denver at the I76 split. Guy ahead pulling a tandem axle construction trailer. Guy took the ramp to the right. Trailer kept going straight. Bounced off the left rail - came back across all lanes and came to rest on the right shoulder. No harm no foul.

[@peterhuxley8181]

At 3.30 a van with windows decides to pull out onto to highway, safe in the knowledge that vehicles on the main road should give way to joining traffic. WTF? Why do these idiots ( and they're just as common in the UK) think that is the proper way to drive?

[@nemesisxrox6773]

... yep the idiotic arse backwards logic - who knows where it all came from since - Merge signs r on the ramps NOT on the highways !

Good idea to have voice recognition on Garmin dash cameras to prevent the driver from swearing and use his/her voice to operate the recording function instead, put energy to the right cause hahaha:)

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

I would say that more than 50% of the drivers wouldn’t pass a driving test in any European country. And the guy who drives this truck would surely gets his drivers licence suspended too. What a knob!
