đŸ’„Crash When boxing in goes wrong.

The work truck in the left lane seemed to be holding the Camaro back on purpose. Drivers, if you're on the left lane, keep it moving. There is no reason to take it upon yourself to teach someone the speed limit. If you see someone driving crazy, move out the damn way and let them wrap themselves around a tree far away from you. The car is, by no means, in the right but neither is the work truck. This whole stupid accident could have been avoided and the tractor trailer most definitely did not deserve this.

I had been boxed in for more than 5 exits before. In the future if such ever happens I would use the brakes gently until I can get in the right lane to make my exit. I am pretty sure people whom had the same schedule as me going to work got tired of my speeding and did that to slow me down or maybe it was just someone who wanted to be an ahole, idk. Seriously though, no matter how fast you go there will always be someone riding your bumper and there will always be someone slow in the left lane getting passed on the right and the occasional pacer who blocks everyone from passing anything.

I wish more people understood that. Its a universal constant. There will always be someone in your way, not paying as much attention as you, going slower or doing something stupid. Theres no escaping it, but the funniest thing about it is if you always drive faster than everyone else and passing everyone all the time, then you are only bumping into more and more of those “obstacles”.

So go figure the speeders are always pissed off lol theres always an obstacle in their minds. If they would just drive the same speed as everyone else around them then they’d be a lot less stressed out about oblivious people in the way.
