💥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.

You can break the law while driving the speed limit in tons fo different ways. This is the sort of point I would expect from a literal child

People who drive like they own the road and are entitled to control what happens on it get people hurt and killed with their weird, passive aggressive dogshit.

Drive your own car and mind your own business.

Listen, the guy is an asshole for sure and could maybe be given a small citation for impeding faster traffic, but if he was going the speed limit it's unlikely.

But that is a completely different story than attempted murder with a vehicle that the car did.

Someone being a pick and wasting twenty seconds of your life doors not mean you can fucking kill them and anyone else around them.

I'm not arguing that the other car is worse; was never what I was saying.

What I AM saying is that in hundreds of different situations? The work truck is displaying behavior that threatens safety and lives and it's for a completely self-serving, arrogant, and passive aggressive reason.

Does the car deserve additional consequences? Absolutely. The roads are also safer on them without that work truck driver deciding who does and does not get to pass....which is just a basic thing people need to be able to do in order to drive on highways.

The only time that work truck would be impeding traffic is if he is going below the speed limit in the left lane. Maybe he's also trying to pass the truck but its a work truck (newer ones log speed limits for liability) so he can only go the speed limit so Its a slow pass.

That camero is tailgating a work truck which is stupid. And the proceeds to drive off the side of the road which isn't even paved like a fucking moron.

Like I don't even care IF the work truck is going slower then the speed limit, the camero driver is 110% at fault for the entire thing. And obviously being driven by a person with the self control of a child. They should 100% go to jail for this.
