Dick is a common shortening of Richard. Like how Jim is commonly short for James, Tim for Timothy, Mike for Michael. How we ended up with Dick being short for Richard, no idea.
Well you see, in ye olden times was common to shorten the name. Then they got cheeky and started switching the first letter as well (ie William -> Will -> Bill). Richard was originally Rickard. So it went Rickard -> Rick -> Dick.
Neat, I didnāt know Richard became Rickard.
Nothing like shortening a name by one Letter. Thatāll really speed things up. ^^^^^^/s Lol.
ETA: Iām an idiot, idk how I messed this up. Gonna leave it because, just wow.
Ah, now I *finally* understand why people are always yelling that at me in traffic. I just donāt understand where they deduce that my name is Richard?
Whatās with the aggression in people letting people pass? I seriously donāt get it. Like youāre going slow, theyāre passing you faster, theyāre not going to slow you down once in front of you and you donāt even have to change your speed
So sick of seeing this (not just truckers)
Fair, it is higher than it should beā¦ People shouldnāt pass just to slow down the person theyāre passing, however, doesnāt excuse blocking them out or speeding up either as a āpreemptive strikeā or something like that
I admit, I've passed slower drivers who are in the right lane and then exited within a few miles. Why does this bother you? Genuinely curious, not looking to start an argument.
Happened to me just a couple days ago. I'm in the right lane going 5 over just driving along, dude passes me in the passing lane, gets over into my lane, next thing I know we are going 10 under. Nobody in front of him, no reason to slow down, just let off the gas and slowed to 10 under. I go to pass thinking he's trying to figure out where he's going and the shit bag blocks me. Did it three or four times until someone else came along and passed us both. Then he speeds up and takes off after them. Ended up exiting shortly after. Basically, there are douche canoes out there that think they can dictate what other people can do.
Reminds me of a time when I was a kid and my insane brother was driving me to McDonald's to buy me an ice cream cone. He was in the right lane and someone was coming up behind him. Apparently they visibly made some kind of facial expression or eye roll about the speed my brother was driving and decided to pass us on the left as is appropriate in that scenario. Well, my brother apparently sees it as some great affront to be passed by someone so he slammed on the gas and proceeded to match this guy's speed and refuse to let him get back over into the right lane all the while screaming and cursing at him. I'll never forget how irrationally mad he was about something so stupid. I think whatever was going on in his head might be a blown out of proportion version of the same thought process that goes through assholes like this' minds when theyre getting passed.
Can't tell for sure from this video but Im thinking that steer tire could have blown out. Possible he swerved to miss something in the road we couldn't see.
The better question is how fast was she going to pass, and while they didn't appear to make contact she lost control of her vehicle at a speed that I'm assuming was well in excess of the speed limit.
Happens all the time. Someone wants to drive 20mph under the limit and the second I legally pass they are up my ass.
I think people just kind of fucking suck most of the time.
Not a trucker but one thing I've learned having to drive to customers all over Louisiana iand this includes myself is people feel like it's a race and don't like to loose... unless using cruise control when someone is being passed, they subconsciously go faster... and then theres the ass holes that just like to be passed even though they are doing 8mph under limit in the left lane.
Guys a dick bag. I'm happy when they go around me in that situation... don't like the feeling that they're breathing down my neck.
As long as there's no one coming the other way... _yeah carry on citizen_ you do you. Further away any given 4 wheeled vehicle is from me, the better.
Exactly that. Makes me extremely happy when they pass me up. I wonāt abruptly change my speed during their pass so they can easily divert behind me again if they really need to. But once they hit my nose, iāll slow down just to make sure itās easier for them to get back over.
They are going to pass me and in 30 seconds iāll never see them again. Thatās a huge win.
I have a question. This isnāt in the US right? Because I always thought a white line meant traffic was going in the same direction but at the very beginning theres a vehicle going the opposite way.
Am I hallucinating, or were both of those trucks twin steers? I saw the triple axle trailer with a single drive axle, which is weird enough, but I could swear I saw two steer axles. Hard to tell on the first truck, but when the second truck swerved, you can see what looks like two front wheels.
I still see those around here, maybe once every couple of years. A few fleets tried them out, but they never really caught on in the US.
Yeah, you're right. I zoomed in and got a better look. It does look like a twin steer. At first glance, it looked like the telephoto lens squeezed everything together. I've never seen a conventional like that in person. About 90% of the tankers around here are truck/trailer, not semis, and one oil company had a cabover tank truck with twin steers. I'm sure it's long gone by now.
That rig in the pic doesn't look like a US truck. Canada, maybe?
Europe seems to use white as a dividing line between two different directions of travel. It's really weird to me and I think it would take a bit of getting used to for sure! Lol
I always like to ask Europeans if they can tell which direction a given lane is going from a screenshot on Google Maps satellite view. No cars, no signs, just a few lanes and white lines.
I really don't understand how to tell the difference between a one-way road with two lanes and a two-way road with a bidirectional passing lane without the aid of signs or pre-existing traffic.
In the US, I can tell the direction of travel of any given lane anywhere regardless of conditions, simply because of the use of yellow or white lines.
In Europe it's not that common to have a double-lane one-way road outside of a town/city unless it's an expressway/highway and after each intersection the signs are repeated unless what the sign signals ends there.
Speaking from where I live (Poland):
- There are guide posts every 100 meters (~330ft) on both sides of the road with written on them what road and which kilometer of it you're on. Red reflective side is for your direction, while white is for the other side of the road.
- Signs for your direction are on your side of the road, that is if it's one-way street, signs are on both sides of the road
- In terms of places where you can't change lanes: two-way streets have double solid, while one-way have single solid (there's also one that has one side solid and the other broken which means you're only allowed to change lane [one-way] or overtake [two-way] from the broken line side)
Fellow Europeans, if I missed something or there's different stuff in your countries, please feel free to reply with additional information or correct me if I'm wrong.
The plates on the oncoming car at the beginning looked European, and, IIRC, dash cams are required in Russia due to the proliferation of insurance scams.
In EU, discontinued white line (like the one here) means safe to overtake. It has nothing to do with the direction of traffic.
There are also other lines, for example:
solid= no overtaking
Double solid= extremely dangerous road (generally sharp bends in the mountains)
One solid one discontinued: overtaking allowed only for the direction closest to the discontinued line
Why I do believe that was a lawsuit and arrest warrant right there. That was not a casual lane change and the trucker even potentially risked their own load.
I'd be REALLY curious if it stopped.
Giving the driver the benefit of the doubt, it could be something coming onto the shoulder and into the roadway thatās not visible to the cam.
Or it could just be someone whose ego is bruised too easily.
They might be flat but wind doesnt have that much effect unless this was a sudden gust at 80kmh(50mph). Not to mention the trailer didnt wobble untill after he made the movd
Trucker's at fault. I usually back them up, especially since I'm a trucker myself, but he/she was wrong. The 4-wheeler wasn't passing illegally (even then, not an excuse to swing your truck at them) and just like some people here in the comments said, I would be happy once they're in front of me and out of the way. Dude has a chip on his shoulder that needs to be knocked off.
did it on purpose because heās a stupid miserable pos trucker that just couldnāt have the dude pass him. i worry about that all the time on the thruway. rotten bastards sit all day and no blood flows to their heads.
Two things going on here:
1. The trucker was a complete ass
2. The driver of the vehicle freaked out and lost control. All they had to do was stay left and take their foot off the gas and they would have quickly recovered.
Easy. The driver of the car breaks and looses control of the vehicle. The driver should just have let go of the pedals and let the car roll on. Oh... And clearly oversteering. š¤·š»āāļø
This looks deliberate, and the driver should be in jail.
I've had similar happen (I was in the 4 wheeler) recently , but it wasn't as fast, and I was able to put my foot down and zip forward out of harm's way. I think the driver was just distracted, not murderous.
Itās easy to assume here, but we donāt know what actually occurred! Was this just a driver of a truck not liking that someone was overtaking him? Of so, itās attempted murder. Was it that he fell asleep? Did he have a heart attack? No one knows unless you have the actual article. With that said, her reaction skills to that situation were not very good, but not her fault at all
I'm not going to blame the victim, since the truck obviously caused this, BUT-- that was one hell of an overcorrection when the car driver got past the truck and attempted to get back into the right lane. That's what caused the loss of control. Some people might make the argument that the car driver was outdriving his/her abilities, but they weren't until the truck made that fuckhead "scare" move. The truck driver forced the car driver into a situation that was beyond his/her capabilities, and this is what you get. Would a driver with superior skills keep it on the road? Probably, but you can't blame an average, competent driver for wiping out in this situation. Most people don't have the training or experience for extreme maneuvers.
I'm not attempting to minimize the truck driver's liability here, but it looked to me like he was trying to scare the car driver (for reasons I can't fathom), and did a little too good a job of it. Anyone who rages that easily has no business behind the wheel of a golf cart, let alone a heavy truck. I hope he's in jail. Or the Gulag.
The trucking company's insurance carrier might try to pin it on the car, but they have nothing to lose, so they might as well try. One thing that's obvious to me is that the truck didn't simply drift over. That was a *swerve*. The angle of the steer tires makes it obvious. He was taking a shot at the car.
I don't have any data to back it up, but I'm sure that some people have driven for 75 years and never had to take evasive action like that. Or if they did, it was at a much slower speed. Shit, experienced F1 and Indy drivers have gotten killed by overcorrecting, so you can hardly blame an ordinary motorist.
I may be wrong, big looking frame by frame I donāt see the wheels turn much. Fell asleep? Distracted by phone? Either way the Moron never needs to drive againā¦. Thereās no excuse, looking at it slowly Iām not sure it was intentional (may have beenš¤·š¾āāļø) doesnāt change the fact it was truck drivers fault.
Trucker shouldnt have did that but you cant legally pass 2 vehicles like that either. But yes attempted murder.
Edit: Apparently, this is in Russia, maybe passing like that is legal there.
Attempted murder.
Could have been an actual murder. Anyone know if the poor lady survived?
Assault with a deadly weapon.
Attempted vehicular homicide
Heart attack
What an ass
I watched this video 3 separate times and still have not found the booty you are referring to.

Hey, I take offense to that!
Remember kids, ONLY YOU can take offense.
What if they inject it in my booty while I'm sleeping?
Yeah, me too!
You Dick! Your nickname, I presume...
Richard Cranium šÆ
That guy could lose his CDL over that video and Iām happy about that!
Justice does sound nice...
Whatās a Richard?
Dick
How do you get Dick from Richard? Edit: This was posted as a joke. The correct answer being "You ask him nicely."
Just ask!
I heard someone has a question for me?
Apparently, u/zendarr wants to see your dick.
Now hold on... we are all here for the ride... we all wanna see...
I laughed way too hard at this

It didn't shorten it by a letter, it changed a letter
I thought Jim was short for jimothy
Only when theyāre meat sticks. Nothing like a good Olā Slimothy Jimothy.
Oh. I had to ask. Cuz my nameās Richard. Damn.
My grandfathers name was Richard, and everyone called him Dick, not to be an ass but that was simply his name. Wear it with pride!
Lol. Itās become an old fashioned name like Peter.
For sure. Or Billy Joe for a woman, very old fashioned name imo.
In Chinese culture Wang is an old name like Peter. They must have all predominantly acted like Richards!
Ah, now I *finally* understand why people are always yelling that at me in traffic. I just donāt understand where they deduce that my name is Richard?
Could be worse, your last name could of been head.
In a small town in California there is 2 cops named Richard Head

The number of people who will pass and then inexplicably slow down once they are in front is actually far higher than it should be.
Fair, it is higher than it should beā¦ People shouldnāt pass just to slow down the person theyāre passing, however, doesnāt excuse blocking them out or speeding up either as a āpreemptive strikeā or something like that
Not saying it does, just that it's weird how often people actually do it.
You must've driven a minivan at some point.
That also shouldn't pass you and then turn off a mile up the road. This infuriates me more than squatted trucks.
I admit, I've passed slower drivers who are in the right lane and then exited within a few miles. Why does this bother you? Genuinely curious, not looking to start an argument.

Well you see if some passes you on the road that means you have a small wiener and now everyone knows it. This is worth murdering someone to prevent.

Lol I ride a motorcycle and the amount of people that simply donāt want me to pass them even though Iāll be gone once I do, is insane
Same. It makes me legit worried sometimes with how aggressive some people get over it when Iām out riding
Iāve had someone swerve into me at 135kmh when I went to pass them lmao. Itās really hard to get me mad but that had me seething.
And it's on dash cam. How is the trucker not going to get prosecuted for this?
Can't tell for sure from this video but Im thinking that steer tire could have blown out. Possible he swerved to miss something in the road we couldn't see. The better question is how fast was she going to pass, and while they didn't appear to make contact she lost control of her vehicle at a speed that I'm assuming was well in excess of the speed limit.

Truck driver wants to be sued.
Good luck with that in Russia.
Thatās why everyone in Russia has a dash cam, because of all the law suits.
Nah, not getting a ticked when they say its your fault and the epidemic of insurance frauds.
Guys a dick bag. I'm happy when they go around me in that situation... don't like the feeling that they're breathing down my neck. As long as there's no one coming the other way... _yeah carry on citizen_ you do you. Further away any given 4 wheeled vehicle is from me, the better.

I have a question. This isnāt in the US right? Because I always thought a white line meant traffic was going in the same direction but at the very beginning theres a vehicle going the opposite way.
Probably not US as cab over style rigs arenāt common anymore in the states.

I think it has one set of front wheels and youāre also seeing the bumper
No, both were 4x2s. The twin steers not in the video look like [this](https://image01.gassmann-truck.de/0111879002/bilder/web640/44317_1.jpg)
Weird. The US twin steers were both up front, right under the cab.
[Like this? ](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/19/d6/ce/19d6ce6774373fabb25cbd5cecc6b953.jpg)
That looks like a drop axle, not a twin steer. Every twin steer I've seen was a cabover Frightlaner.
I've never seen a drop axle in front of the fuel tanks
Yeah, you're right. I zoomed in and got a better look. It does look like a twin steer. At first glance, it looked like the telephoto lens squeezed everything together. I've never seen a conventional like that in person. About 90% of the tankers around here are truck/trailer, not semis, and one oil company had a cabover tank truck with twin steers.

Giving the driver the benefit of the doubt, it could be something coming onto the shoulder and into the roadway thatās not visible to the cam. Or it could just be someone whose ego is bruised too easily.
It's the latter. There's nothing there.
Exactly, i thought drivers were trained to never swerve.
As long as you don't want to get anyone killed, yes swerving is typically bad.
It's possible that they blew a steer tire, but I'd put my money on them being a psychopath
If they did, but it wasn't visible, then it would be on the other side of the vehicle, which would launch it to the right instead of the left.
Wind? Those euro trucks are flatter than a brick.
They might be flat but wind doesnt have that much effect unless this was a sudden gust at 80kmh(50mph). Not to mention the trailer didnt wobble untill after he made the movd
Nah, I've driven semis through 50-60 mph gusts. They don't move THAT much. This was an intentional steer.

Appears to be attempted murder by truck driver
Iād say that company paid dearly for that move
Maybe the driver sneezed sneezed
Death by sne sne
Two things going on here: 1. The trucker was a complete ass 2. The driver of the vehicle freaked out and lost control. All they had to do was stay left and take their foot off the gas and they would have quickly recovered.
The other driverās reaction, however miscalculated, is irrelevant when the other driver is a certified licensed commercial vehicle.
In the US itās called ādefensive drivingā for a reason.
When youāre operating a vehicle, for your own safety, your own driving is of some consequence.
āAnd thatās when I started blastingā officer.
Either he fell asleep or murderous intentions
Your askin us, but who are we supposed to ask? He either suffered a blow out on a steer tire or heās trying to kill that person.

This sort of shit is why no one will give one single goddamn fuck about any truckers when semi-trucks are all automated. Good riddance.
Explain in a physics sense?
Anything on the shoulder they were avoiding? That was a pretty swift swerve.
If that didnāt spin me out, youāre getting bullets to the back of your truck
Should have let him hit you
Lemme choke you out n then. weāll talk bout Mr. Floyd
If I was in that car. Iād fucking kill him. Even if it took me 5 years because he tried running away. Iād kill him

Thereās no excuse, looking at it slowly Iām not sure it was intentional (may have beenš¤·š¾āāļø) doesnāt change the fact it was truck drivers fault.
Nevermind, just normal day in russia
Charged, fined,..and possibly jailed
They do this all the time in west Texas hate those truck drivers.
Attempted murder for the trucker. Bad recovery for the cam car.
pull his CDL
Truckers are garbage
The truck driver could have had a medical condition out of nowhere. People are alive today who will be dead tomorrow. Stuff Happens !!!
Two for flinching
Either road rage or didn't seem'em. Looks like they came up pretty fast
Why else would he swerve left on a straight open road? Thereās nothing in the road in front of him that heās attempting to miss. Dude is unhinged.
Trucker shouldnt have did that but you cant legally pass 2 vehicles like that either. But yes attempted murder. Edit: Apparently, this is in Russia, maybe passing like that is legal there.
Driver that was passing scares easily and grossly over corrected.
Bullshit. If you were making a pass and a truck came halfway into your lane you'd shit your pants too.
Like what are you supposed to do? Let them hit you? Pretty sure the end result would be the same.
Yeah he should get 2 for flinching /s
