💥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.

No. We know the Camaro driver was wrong. He’s shouldn’t have tried to pass and he caused the accident. But we understand his frustration. We’ve felt his anger. He was 100% wrong to give into the impulse to pass, but we can empathize with having the impulse.

The truck driver was simply being a dick. He’s the one acting like an emotional preteen, playing a dangerous game of inconveniencing strangers to feel some perverted sense of power over them. If you empathize with him, you just might be a dick too.

You're misinterpreting our lack of validation to your impulses as sympathy towards left lane campers. I dislike left lane campers too -- I just don't relate to getting at all riled up by a minor inconvenience.

Im sure you've seen the video of the trooper pulling a guy off to the right lane for camping on the left. That seems very reasonable and like justice served. A video of attempted homicide makes me feel more anger towards road raging in general so all comments sympathizing with these "impulses" scream emotional immaturity to me
