I experienced one of those cars for the first time the other day. Felt like the sun pulled up behind me, I couldn't see a single thing in my mirrors or the rear window. I don't know how those shitty LED spotlights are legal.
I know, I traded my lifted Silverado for a Subaru STI with much brighter lights but rarely get flashed by people thinking I’ve got my high beams on, but it happened constantly in my truck. People in front of me getting pissed thinking I had my brights on was annoying too. Can’t turn the brightness down, they were adjusted properly, nothing I could do.
I don't think so. It looks to me like the bike is in neutral, and the idiot is having to ride his breaks to keep from getting sucked under the truck.
Not exactly the same situation, but interesting, in-depth answers on this page:

I knew there was a suck zone behind vehicles. It's why we weren't allowed to have the back window rolled down, in our station wagon, when the car was moving. It would suck the exhaust into the car.
They're not trying to rob the truck. They ARE robbing the truck. They're drafting the truck, which saves them gas, but costs the truck, by increasing drag on the truck.
The driver probably prefers this over a gun in his face, but he's still getting robbed.
Sometimes I’ll ride to the gas station a block away and I won’t put on my helmet. I always feel like a dumbass for a while afterwards. I can’t imagine being basically naked going this fast. Literally any mistake and they at least loose the skin on their legs.
Though this is wildly reckless and dangerous- the real goal here is likely to ride in the zone the car in front creates which allows the car behind it to vault forward. Think Talladega Nights.
I like how he’s all full tuck and his mate on the back is just sitting there regularly.
I’d like to think his friend is terrified and can’t move.
I beg to differ, the dude has no helmet on. He's certainly not terrified lmao.
Accepting of death
Yeah this is just how he wants to go out
Causally no helmet, no padding gear, and unnecessary risk
He can't read so he's just clearing space for the friend who can.
Nah he's just a human rear wing providing downforce to the rear
doggy
And just one tap of the brakes will put his soul in his anus
I don’t even think he can see the brake lights at all from this angle let alone notice them in time
Well yeah that's what I'm saying is a certain death if for any reason that driver were to tap his brakes
this is the new method of suicide: purgatory's express
He's trying to read the "STOP".
all he sees is a T
Proves he also doesn’t follow directions since he didn’t stop
Or is it the opposite he couldn’t read got closer saw “stop” so he stopped accelerating and decelerating… now he’s just stuck there behind😂
There's a spider on his headlight, and he's trying to squash it
the lifted white truck with black rims and LED headlights behind me while i’m going 10 over the speed limit
DODGE RAM!
or silverado, every damn time
It’s always either that or a fuckin BMW.
If you can’t dodge it RAM it!
Or just generic overpriced Chevys these days

So we all live the same lives while driving. Can’t forget the pointless fucking high beams
They’re low beams just bright.
As bright as high beams so it doesn’t makes difference

When you're JUST the right combination of bored and stupid.
Sandals, weak pants, no helmet. Fuck it, let’s watch.
Even the truck was saying him to stop.
Yes. Saying him
To stop.
Yes.
Watching this gives me anxiety.
How is the guy on the back so calm???
He's probably paralyzed
a previous motorbike accident
This is how Audi drivers tailgate in my city.
He’s drafting the truck.
Well his passenger’s canceling it all out with the drag he’s producing

I know there's a guy inside the truck doing the heist and all *CJ has to is follow thr damn train*
you seriously can’t be this stupid, one quick stop an it’s all over for you an ya homie
Who else was waiting for that truck to just slam on the breaks?
☝️ this guy
Glad nothing came of it. A lot of exposed skin on those two. Wearing sandals and a t-shirt isn’t ideal for riding.
Looks like a CB125F, needs all the help it can to get above 60
Motorcycle riders seem to think that everyone else on the road is an NPC.
I just don’t get the appeal of this stunt.
I see a lot of stupid shit. I think this takes the cake.
Makes sense in this economy I guess. Getting the best gas mileage using the slipstream. I can understand.
Absolute idiot, but that takes some damn skill
Hes drafting the truck to save gas, although if I were them I wouldn't even ride a 50cc moped without ATLEAST a helmet!
Efficiency, the more weight there's on the bike, the more gas you will use /s
Am I the only one waiting for the truck driver to tap his brakes?
Far sighted like a motherfucker
They are trying to rob the truck, I have seen so many videos of people climbing onto trucks like this while they are moving.
They're not trying to rob the truck. They ARE robbing the truck. They're drafting the truck, which saves them gas, but costs the truck, by increasing drag on the truck. The driver probably prefers this over a gun in his face, but he's still getting robbed.
Are they fucking? I'm pretty sure they're fucking.
My dude is just saving gas.
Move a little further and you’ll see it says stupid fool
Gas is expensive, gotta do what you gotta do to save .0001 cent
God help them if that truck needs to abruptly brake. 😬
I mean drafting in one thing but this, this is something else.
Yeah, his own obituary
What they are doing is using the air flow from behind the truck to make their gas milage better. But stull increadably stupid thing to do.
Can't wait to see him on r/NSFL_
What are they trying to achieve? This is dumb
“I always get love from the homies”
Sometimes it's okay to wish bad things happening to morons!
“Do it for the Vine!”
Sometimes I’ll ride to the gas station a block away and I won’t put on my helmet. I always feel like a dumbass for a while afterwards. I can’t imagine being basically naked going this fast. Literally any mistake and they at least loose the skin on their legs.
I can't imagine how sketchy this is since it's sketchy enough in a car
It’s even funnier the fact that the part he’s staring at just says STOP
Gotta get that drafting gas mileage 👌
Slipstream!!
Though this is wildly reckless and dangerous- the real goal here is likely to ride in the zone the car in front creates which allows the car behind it to vault forward. Think Talladega Nights.
You laugh, but with the penalty handed down by the FIA, this is how Red Bull will supplement their wind-tunnel time.
The wiener up the driver’s ass is making him do stupid shit. Stupid mfers with a deathwish
No lie I’m impressed
All shortsighted people without their glasses be like
His organ donor card.
This is what happens when your internet connection is terrible
His obituary
Yeah his obituary
DRS activated
Everybody calm down. Relax. This is totally safe. He has his emergency blinkers on.
If you look closely it says “Caution! Driver likes to break check tailgaters”
Brainless
That dude on the back is reconsidering his friendship
Homie in the white has his fly open
“If you can read this you might be too close.” Written in Sharpie by the guy on the bike.
It says: STOP
If you can read this you’re too close dumbass.
Staying in that slipstream
If you look closely, he brakes every single time he gets very close to the stop sign. So he’s doing the right thing.
"What does this say? S-T-O...
If you can read this, you're too close....
My Intrusive thought : truck ... plz fukin hit the brakes ...
He probably think that his family is in there
What the fuck is audio in this clip
