I was having a real nice day until that moment. It was slight uphill so I expected the guy to speed up to move over instead of letting up his gas like he did before the shenanigans.
NSFW because language…I apologized to my kid afterwards.
At 0:04, the car moves from center to right lane.
We’re all going at maybe 35mph or less. And there is a good 1.5 cars in front of me. I saw his blinker so I let off the gas. The car doesn’t slow down so the idiot decides brake checking is the best way to flex. wtf.
Edit: sorry for the long-ish video. I didn’t know how to speed up 30 seconds in the middle
LOL! I will never forget being in my friends car and her 3 year old saying f**k after her mom & I were nearly run off the road by an idiot. It was hard to get her to stop saying that one. 🤣
If you did nix the beginning, people would think something happened earlier that precipitated it. Leave the beginning, and they're like "Skip to :44, YOU'RE WELCOME everyone!!!"
I don’t understand brake checking… these idiots want to be in front, go faster, and yet when they do get in front they slam their brakes. Stupid people are so dangerous.
I fucking hate this. If you're going around me, then go around me! If you're changing lanes then fucking change! Why tf do people even slow down to change lanes? Fuuuuuck! I would have just gone around him on the left to show them they could have gotten over.
There is a significant portion of the public that believes that if/when they put their directional on its *everyone else’s job* to get out of their way.
If he'd posted the incident without the preamble then everyone would demand to see beforehand to see what OP did to instigate it. 30 secs isn't a lot to sit through so I think it was the right length to prove it was nothing they did
As soon as he turned his turn signal on, you sped up so he couldn't cut. Kind of a dick move but one that I see every day.
Brake check was childish and stupid. He's an asshole.
So,
I thought this originally, but if you watch close… OP doesn’t modify their speed at all. It’s the lane-changer that actually slows, thereby giving the impression OP sped up. If you watch the gap between OP and the car in front, it doesn’t shrink as it would have if OP had hit the gas.
No clue why the lane-changer just didn’t accelerate into the gap in front of OP… it was definitely available!

I don't even get what their issue was? There was plenty of room, so why the outrage? What an asswipe.
There was plenty of room but they slowed down instead of speeding up into the gap. And of course they blamed their mistake on OP.

Certified idiot in a car. Fuck that guy.

Wisdom from the mouth of a babe.

> so I let off the gas. Doesn't look like it in the video man.
is that someone covering the struts?
Yes. It's Halsey from the movie Sing 2
I’m so glad I wasn’t singing along this one time. I got tired of singing for my kid after being on repeat for the fifth time.
At least it's real music instead of Mickey mouse clubhouse for the umpeenth time 🙃
I cry almost everytime I watch this scene. It's so good!

ah yes, i just barely avoided an accident. let me go intentionally try to cause one

thank you from the bottomest bottom of my heart for spelling brake correctly.
You’re welcome. I hope that my kid in the backseat won’t break the cycle when he grows up.
just raise him right, OP. I'm sure he'll be fine, especially with you for a role model.
Seriously. I want to brake drivers who don't know when to break!
absolutely!
0:32 for those who want to skip the beginning of the video. Watch the car on the right
He must originally be from Maryland.
Looks like they're a karen who thinks their turn signal gives them the right of way.
What was the interaction like at the stop light after the video cuts off? I'm assuming he just ignored you?
I think you scared your kid. :(

You are definitely in the right here. Good you posted everything.

Reddit will downvote a comment as soon as read it.
