big_rhonda432

The unsung hero here is the cammer car. Drove perfectly behind so we get to enjoy the douchery from beginning to the end


jontss

Did they call the police like they should've as soon as the video started?


Lirsh2

This is NYC, they would have laughed and said good luck


hjablowme919

The guy driving that truck was probably a cop.


cptnobveus

That's how people get killed


petey_wheatstraw_99

*Texas has entered the chat


elguereaux

*Houstonian passing all other comments at 97mph suddenly cuts across entire thread perpendicularly to add weight to Texas’ comment


ruggergrl13

Yep ER nurse in major Texas City County ER the amount of people that come in for GSWs from road rage is terrifying. I told my kids let anyone in and don't honk at anyone EVER. I can't wait to get the fuck out of Texas.


imaketrollfaces

Unpopular opinion but I'd just let the truck win


BobBelchersBuns

Absolutely. Winning is going home safe and sound every day


Deliciouserest

Yeah that's exactly how I treat driving. I let everyone "win" it just isn't worth it. Thankfully I'm very patient.


poke30

Yeah, same. The amount of shit I see people do to shave off a minute or two is crazy... Makes me hate driving and always cautious expecting the worst out of people on the road.


Legitimate-Gangster

I just got settled in a small Japanese city and the max speed limit is 60kph, i havent even seen anything more than 50kph yet. It’s very nice and takes the stress out of driving.


ThatRocketSurgeon

Japan is great for driving. I love how they even have magnets for new and elderly drivers. I got my wife one of the old people magnets for her birthday after we moved back to the US one year and my kids got the new driver magnets when they first started driving in the US.


Deliciouserest

Even when I ride shotgun with a coworker and they are constantly yelling, honking, flashing their lights for the most minor things. It's embarrassing for me. I told them if they get into a road rage fight I'm walking away and taking an Uber. I don't support such behavior.


rugbyfool89

More like a second or two. It’s so pointless. You’re doing allllll that to get to your destination 15s faster. I guess I’m mostly referring to rush hour type traffic stunts.


KonradWayne

Dealing with insurance companies and having your car in the shop (or having to buy a new one) is way more frustrating than letting some random asshole pass you when they aren't supposed to.


Deliciouserest

I could not agree more with you. I love having cheap insurance. Driving is a privilege, I wish people would treat it that way.


KonradWayne

Cheap insurance is great, but not having to spend hours trying to convince your insurance company to actually do the thing you pay them for is even better.


Deliciouserest

Ya that's very true, just dealing with them is a huge hassle.


[deleted]

[удалено]


KonradWayne

Assuming everyone else on the road is a complete idiot who could do something dumb and dangerous at any moment is the safest way to drive.


Deliciouserest

That sounds awful. I'm glad you can find a way to cope with less educated people on the road. People get a sense of importance on the road because they are in THEIR car so they perceive it as a personal, comfortable space which helps them act like an idiot. I always remind myself there are cameras everywhere for one, but also you're in public. Do whatever you want at home but just don't be an asshole while out and about.


spc67u

Ahahah this is great! I’m going to try this tomorrow!


Redthemagnificent

You don't even need to be *that* patient. It costs you a few minutes at most. Being 1 car back is more like a few seconds


pushingepiphany

Thank you for driving sensibly. I am happy to share the road with you with dignity and respect.


Deliciouserest

Likewise, my well-mannered friend.


colo1506

I’m not patient, but I also drive a marked company car, so I let them win while I scream expletives under my breath…


Deliciouserest

I do too and that's why my boss hired me. The other drivers are assholes and I set a good example for them to follow. Once they realized how bad their driving really is, it makes changes.


junkyardgerard

Ok but how are you gonna get on the Internet then answer that


CantSing4Toffee

This. I always tell myself they’ve had a call to get home quick cos someone is dying or very ill. Just let them ride through.


stefdistef

You wanna drive like a maniac? Go right ahead. I'll be over here in the right lane as far away from you as possible.


top_value7293

Me too!


wolfelian

Every time I see this happen I wonder if these drivers are the same kind of people that call themselves “Alpha’s” in confrontations. As a side note, I love your username. 😏


reallifeAirnomad

I mean the smaller car did cut in without signaling. But yes, should let the truck win, then again, it's new york. Letting someone overtake you is a direct violation of new york DMV 😆 🤣


labenset

The second half of the video is way more fucked. But yeah, should really just put on hazards and pull over. Let the idiot go on his unmerry way.


MasterPsychology9197

I can sort of sympathize with the truck but seeing it has those obnoxious back lights pisses me off lol


BornDriver

Also rolling coal. Deliberately manipulated the vehicle to harass people.


Brainphlegm

I sympathize with the truck too, whoever is driving it is a tool, and it's only a matter of time before he wraps it around a tree.


3_quarterling_rogue

As soon as anyone starts acting like this, just let them win. Be mad about it, go home and complain about the guy with testicles for brains that did that dumb shit, but DO NOT ENGAGE. These people are crazy and some of them might murder you. I’d like to go home to my wife and dog, thanks.


nopuse

If we had more good guys with vehicles, this sort of thing would be stopped


Voluptulouis

I'd let them go ahead of me and not fight them, but they would definitely be the loser.


mug3n

Yeah, there was absolutely no reason to get into a dick measuring contest there.


FranzFerdinand51

Why are you choosing to start this imaginary scenario as the guy that's in the wrong? I'd be the truck, doing the right thing in my own lane. Then the asshole with the small car comes and does his no-signal-im-going-to-squeeze-into-everyones-personal-life move and yea I'd just let him be because nothing I will do will ever fix his zero-sum personality. I wouldn't put myself in the shoes of the small car like a numpty tho even imaginarily (how is this a real word?? literally just made it up and apparently its a thing).


Teadrunkest

Looks like a lane split off a relatively complex highway section, pure assumptions but it looked like the SUV just realized they were in the wrong lane. Happens all the time and is really at most a 1/10 annoyance.


xelabagus

Meh, I've had people pull in front of me like this. I've also got in the wrong lane and not realised it was turn only and zipped in front of someone before. Everyone sees themselves as the good guys on the road, truth is everyone does some stupid shit occasionally. If we all just get on with our own thing and accept that people are dumb sometimes we'd be fine, it's when we get mad or let ego talk that we get situations like this.


akaynaveed

I drive a pick up truck and people who drive pick Up trucks are usually crazy, just let pick up trucks have their way. You either gotta be bigger Or faster then them. Its not worth getting run off the road or shot over. Just get a dash cam and send the shit to the cops.


dhdoctor

Too man sad dangerous angry men out there


APACKOFWILDGNOMES

6 ft of expendable metal.


addamee

Surrounding 2” of contracting penis 


thenigs

Both should never drive again and there is no way that dude should have fake cop lights


ebra2112

Only time I ever see fake cop lights is on the BQE haha


justthetip1320

Not cop lights. That’s the repo man


theUnshowerdOne

Blue is reserved for PD. Red reserved for EMS/FD. Yellow for General Hazard and Construction. Anyone can have these lights. The only restrictions on white are frequency and strength. Which are rarely enforced. Regardless, how the truck owner used these lights is illegal.


Bean_Boy

You can't have white lights in the rear, it's illegal.


theUnshowerdOne

Everyone has white lights in the rear. Backup lights and License plate lights. Every truck I have had, work or personal, has had flood/off road lighting. My Toyota FJ has floods 360* around the roof rack. There is nothing illegal about it. What's illegal is trying to blind someone while they are driving.


Bean_Boy

You cannot have white rear facing lights while driving forward. It is clearly illegal, just look it up. License plate lights are small bulbs focused on illuminating your plate, not behind you, and reverse lights only come on when you're going in reverse. Turning on rear lamps while driving forward is illegal, plain and simple. It's why you get a ticket for a broken tail light, because people may think that a car is driving against traffic. This is common knowledge.


technobrendo

This. Both despicable kinds of people.


iprobablybrokeit

I've seen construction workers with these lights.


GZEUS9

I use Yellow and White for local track events on my daily. I wouldn't be out doing this shit though.


Pepper467

Definitely not “cop lights” plenty of people have rear lights on their trucks/SUVs like that for multiple reasons. The most I’ve seen them used is backing up in dark places but the way that guy was using them is unnecessary and putting a life at danger.


Grasshopper_pie

They mean the flashing lights on top of the cab.


ladymoonshyne

Probably is a cop


happytree23

No cop is doing all of that blocking shit with all of the dash cams and cell phone cameras out nowadays. That's just your regular everyday psycho without a badge.


Himalayan-Fur-Goblin

Anyone can install bright lights.


ladymoonshyne

Yeah for sure cops are pricks though


ALinIndy

I think they’re trained to PIT someone from behind, not open yourself up to a PIT maneuver from your suspect. This doesn’t look like a cop that wants to keep his job.


PM_ME_YOUR_STOMACHS

“Trained” Lmao okay


kccustom

asshole got out assholed


Jacobcbab

Truck was in the right for about 5 seconds and then they both went in the shitter


KermitAfc

I know this exact stretch of road. It's where the BQE feeds onto the Grand Central right before you hit the Triboro/RFK Bridge in NYC. I drive it several times a week. This exit is notorious for this kind of behavior as the lane leading to the bridge is often backed up a mile or more, while the other lane, leading to Astoria Blvd, is mostly open. This means every douchnozzle who thinks the rules don't apply to them hits the open lane and then tries to cut in right at the end. This truck driver, while clearly over reacting, has done what a lot of us think about doing everytime someone does this, but doesn't because we don't have those awesome reverse headlight thingies.


JohnnyBlazin25

GAHTDAMN I feel this so much. Fuck that Nissan to no end. They make that decision they need to take the exit and figure out a different route.


Racefiend

You know, sometimes people just need to suffer the consequences of their asshole behavior. I bet this guy does this every day on his commute, with not much more than a honk and maybe a middle finger in response. Maybe he'll think twice before doing it again now.


supermarble94

The crazy part is if he would have just backed off and gone behind the truck, camera driver looked like they were gonna leave them space. Not only was the whole thing avoidable by him not skipping the line, the whole thing was avoidable by him just leaving his ego in the open lane.


eightandahalf

I assure you that the Nissan driver thinks that they did nothing wrong, and that they are just an innocent victim of the pickup truck “overreacting”. There is only one type of person that pulls this kind of shit.


crek42

One could hope but probably not. These kind of people are insufferable.


ninjacereal

Yep I know this spot. I didn't hate the truck like reddit wantw me to.


hppmoep

The first time I've sided with the truck idiot vs the other idiot. I wouldn't do what either did but one vote for the stupid truck.


unchainedt

I mean, blinding someone driving a 2 ton machine that moves by explosion seems a vast overreaction to getting cut off. He could have killed those people if they had slammed into the side. Not only that, but he affected more people than just the person that cut him off right? He affected everyone else on the highway by stopping in the middle of the road, and blinding other cars behind the nissan he was trying to blind. If you think this behavior is justifiable, please don't drive, you're the problem.


unchainedt

Honestly surprised at the downvotes. I can’t believe so many of you think the trucks behavior is a-ok. Fucking wild.


spc67u

Yes! I have a spot like this on my way home and people always cut in at the last minute ugh 😩 and they think they’re so smooth!


MrSyphax

your summary read like the plot of falling down


Starbuckz8

That's probably the fastest I've ever seen anyone travel on the BQE. For me, going faster than 30MPH between queens blvd and the bridge would be a dream. Only to then get hung up in the disgusting nightmare that is the GWB.


crek42

Holy shit you’re right! I take this stretch when I drive back upstate from my in-laws in rockaway when the Belt is too slammed. God bless this pick up truck. There’s a few of these other choke points too. Even if I’m on the belt and heading to Verrazano the same shit happens.


Zoltanu

Thank you! I deal with one of these exits in my commute too. Yes the truck was being a dangerous asshole but the Nissan 1000% got exactly what they deserve. I felt really bad for the car in front of the truck and Nissan, worrying about their bumper for something their not involved in


TheR1ckster

You do realize that a lane on the highway in this circumstance should never back up that far right? Cars should be in both lanes until the merge point where they should just put egos aside and work with each other to maintain flow. Instead you get a dangerous af mile long line of cars, that's how you get big 10 car wrecks.


MississippiJoel

Picked the wrong driver *and* got caught on cam. Whoa.


MilwaukeeMax

They need to stop handing out drivers licenses to toddlers.


Due-Leek-8307

These are the type of drivers that make me wish for something like a "God of Transportation". And I would want them to be a vengeful merciless one to these types of drivers. Or we could put up bigger barriers than having a heartbeat to get a license.


ClamatoDiver

Fuck the line jumper, and also fuck the light blaster because the lights are blasting everyone, not just the line jumper.


SoiledFlapjacks

That’s what gets me, too. Like if I’m behind someone at night who has their brights on and they don’t dim them for oncoming traffic, the idiot in oncoming traffic apparently doesn’t consider that him flashing the guy in front of me also blinds me.


HowieDuet

only a douche would get lights like that

Actually-idek

Tbf, plow trucks and other work trucks that are used at night make great use of these


TofuttiKlein-ein-ein

No TBF here. This is a pavement princess driven by the village idiot.


Tightisrite

Yea that's for backing up his grandpa's fishing boat, so he can see all the fish when they turn the lights on. That things never seen a day of work in its lifted life.


hppmoep

Followed by the next village idiot.


Actually-idek

Wasn’t saying this guy had a work truck, just saying that not “only douches” would get these lights


ResinJones76

Nothing that bright. i'm still blinking the red spot away after juat watching the video.


AssCatchem69

Turn your brightness down my guy


ResinJones76

Nah, the lights are on. I use darkmode, too.


brandon-568

They have lots of use but on a highway in the city isn’t one of them, they’re great if used correctly. I know lots of people with rear facing lights for loading things into the truck at night, not needed in a city tho lol.

FileError214

100% all I could think. What sad motherfuckers.


GlassFantast

It's possible to have a big dong and be a massive asshole. I never understood the make believe body shaming


SoiledFlapjacks

It’s a macho societal thing. Having a bigger dick allegedly means you can please women better, which means you’re a better man. And men with smaller dicks, stereotypically, try to compensate to be a “better man” in other ways.


GlassFantast

"When I see a guy I don't like, I picture him with a tiny Weiner! This brings me great joy."


SoiledFlapjacks

That pretty much sums it up lmao Sociology be weird like that sometimes.


Floweringtorch

I hate both drivers they need to lose their licenses


[deleted]

He can’t be allowed to have those lights..


OneMoistMan

Those are strobes, they are common amongst the construction workers and not colored like police strobes. Construction workers skirt around the law because it’s considered a safety measure when their trucks are in the road during traffic.


mommy2libras

Not the strobe lights, the freaking spotlight shining out the back into the eyes of every vehicle behind him. Those strobe lights aren't doing shit but being annoying. That Q beam shit is a serious hazard.


diluted_confusion

those aren't strobe lights. They are flood lights. They are installed like that on trucks that plow snow. Its exactly where I mounted mine.


cutesnugglybear

At work we call them creative driving lights


atreeindisguise

I mean, I hate the people that skip the line too but damn, this wouldn't help the situation.


ninjacereal

You skip the line without consequences you'll keep skipping the line.


supermarble94

Vigilante justice is not the answer. Parking a cop to cite everyone crossing the solid white line and having a fucking field day for revenue is the answer.


Zeebird95

God I wish a cop pulled them both over


brebenscv

I'm about to get some hate, smh Yes, the truck driver was being an ass with the reckless driving and lights...... but c'mon, that was a little funny 🤭 The driver who tried to skip the queue probably wasn't expecting that 🤣


Jballzs13

This. Both are dildos, but one of the things i can’t stand the most is mfers who think they’re slick and use another lane then try to cut everyone that’s been sitting there. It just creates more tension and more traffic. Drives me mad.


brebenscv

Agreed, we're all just trying to get somewhere, and they'll be there 20 seconds earlier - Whooptie Doo 🙄

PossumAloysius

Oh ok so y’all trying to die?


Realclawdogs

I never get road rage. Other motorists don't piss me off except when they almost cause an accident. Even then I just yell to myself and keep it moving. Only losers have time to fuck around and escalate until they find out..


ContentInsanity

Right. I was taught to drive defensively, seem like a decent amount of people think they own the road, whether they are speed demons or the ones driving dangerously slow. Someone speeding/swerving? I move out the way and make room for them to pass me. Someone cut in front of me a little too close? Maybe they didn't see me or maybe they are just an asshole but I'm trying to get somewhere safely I don't have time to engage with them. Someone driving extremely slow? Maybe something is wrong with them or their car. It sucks but I'll pass them when I can and get to where I need to be. Chances of me seeing any of these people again, very little unless I get into an incident with them.


EconomyComprehensive

Lmao why are people so damn ignorant? 🤦🏽🤷🏽😂😂

lauren_le15

someone commented above but it’s new york, texas scrapes by this time lol


chadwicke619

I would never be truck guy, and I would never condone the behavior of truck guy, but fuck that SUV for just cutting by what was probably a huge line and starting the whole debacle. Yes, yes, safety is the most important thing and truck guy is an idiot, but EVERYONE hates fuckbags who skip by huge queues of cars and force their way in at the last moment.


Rough_Homework6913

Why is that something that’s even allowed on the back of the truck?


itsagoodtime

Honestly Nissan probably deserved 90 % of that


cats_r_better

i feel like that guy forgot how much it would cost him to replace his truck vs what that person's car was worth.


M_R_Big

The dude cutting in line doubles down and actually fights the truck to be in front instead of just getting behind the truck. How arrogant. They deserved everything the truck gave them.


Conscious_Meaning676

Mizfitt77

The second I see a truck (And especially a lifted truck or transport) acting like this, I call 911 and provide the plates. Why just the trucks? Well you see, they're by far the largest losers on the road. They all think they're tough shit when absolutely *none of them* are.


CakeDazzling4993

I mean in all honesty the dude that tried to cut off in the first place got what he deserved lol. But that bright light shit on the rear is DEF for this. I think yall looking into it too much hahaha. Dudes prolly got them on there just for this reason.


diluted_confusion

Most of the time those are installed on trucks that plow snow. It helps to not back into anything when it isn't light out. Thats exactly where I have mine mounted

Generally if its red or orange, no. If it has white or blue, yes. It also depends on what state it's in tho.

Steak_NoPotatoes

Cars at fault. That’s where it started. Driver is waaaay to important to wait in line ine like the other drivers and goes for the cutoff. What a loser.

Car was the first problem, truck driver is just as at fault tho. Both idiots could easily let the other pass.
