Idiot Tailgater

[Mr70]

I can see your point,but I say take a deep breath & slow down to him.
He fled the crash scene afterwards as that lady stopped & called the police as he's been in trouble with the Fla. police before.
She stayed in the left lane to turn left into a shopping center coming up.
..and it's legal in the state of Florida to tape with your cell phone while driving.

In NJ, state police ticket for staying in the left lane without passing.

Usually people get upset like that when someone won't move over even though they can. That appears to me like a perfect example. If she had moved over instead of filming him and her speedometer he probably wouldn't have wrecked his truck. Yes he is a idiot but I think she is also to blame for the wreck and luckily nobody got hurt. Maybe she was going to turn into the shopping center or maybe that is a good story to justify why she wouldn't move over. The whole filming thing makes me suspicious. How long was she in his way before she started filming ?

Exactly.
Doesn't excuse his idiot behavior.
But.... why not just move over?
Slower traffic keep right.
Glad to hear NJ tickets left lane bandits.
Traffic would move much more smoothly with proper lane usage.

I think both of these idiots are at fault. Automobiles are not playthings and most people are far worse drivers than they think they are. Tailgaters are extremely annoying, almost to the level of texters, but playing on the highway is too dangerous. Just move over. I have followed people to a safe place to have a word with them, but thats about it.

Maybe she learned to drive here in Ohio, most of the left lane hogs are here, and now there texting too.
Another thing to take away from that video is that a PU truck is not a car, could be part of the reason he lost it ?
And yes, there both knuckleheads !

What irritates me is the drivers that either pass on the right on the freeway or use the right lanes to speed. They do this because the police or troopers usually are running radar/laser in the medians. This is stupid, like they think that they can't be seen speeding in these lanes... Dumb...

I agree with Charley, it looks like that woman could have moved over into the right lane but it is apparent that she was screwing with him because she was recording the incident. Still does not excuse this guy's behavior though...
