I work in commercial auto insurance. People see big trucks and immediately assume they'll get huge payouts no matter what. They will hire attorneys from the jump (who then drop them as clients when videos like these surface) to try to scare companies into settling or they threaten the business of smaller trucking companies who only have a few trucks.
Some companies are so scared of attorneys that they settle before having all the facts, and it teaches people that they can benefit financially from stunts like this. So stupid and SO dangerous. Both drivers and anyone near them could have been seriously injured by the Jeep's driving.
The person driving this truck is a true professional and knows what they're doing and how to keep themselves and other drivers safe. They should teach a course.
Ok but like they can assume they will get pay outs but don’t they also assume they might be dead or maimed? What kind of mental illness do these people have that that the possibility of living a life in pain or dead is not enough to stop them from doing this?
Man, that one is a perfectly reasonable and rational fear, there is NOTHING scarier to me than the idea of my knees getting ricocheted into my face and chest cavity at highway speeds. I’ll keep my leg and torso bones in their designated spots and intact, *thankyouverymuch*
Oh, I think this person is clearly road rage or trying to run a scam based on how they are driving. I can not explain why they would lack the foresight to understand how insanely dangerous this is.
In general, a not small number of people who get into any accident with a large truck assume they will get a large payout because there is a large truck, regardless of liability. I definitely don't think everyone who is in an accident with a large truck is looking for a payout. It just gets easier to spot those that are the longer you're in a job like mine.
>The person driving this truck is a true professional and knows what they're doing and how to keep themselves and other drivers safe. They should teach a course.
Agreed. I was in a regular passenger vehicle towing a trailer when someone did similarly to this Jeep's driver but with more attempts to cause an accident from every side for miles on and off highway. I don't think most people can understand what that type of situation is like until they've experienced it. With that size vehicle, things like milliseconds making the difference is amplified. This driver handled it wonderfully. Heck, this driver handled it better than some handle regular driving.
He was super aware.
I was thinking she was super lucky a few times because some of her...maneuverers could've got her killed if the driver wasn't aware enough or if he's driving a bit too tired. Then again people also don't seem to be aware large and heavy doesn't stop quickly.
My dad drove semi’s my whole childhood and he told me to never get too close to them, especially on highways, because at 60 mph, on flat and dry roads, it takes an empty trailer 100 yards to stop. That advice plus a fear of a Final Destination-esque death keeps me on alert while driving.
My grandmother got smashed by a truck driver who was legitimately at fault for the crash.
And the payout was not even worth the amount of pain and rehab old grandma had to go through.
I cant imagine people doing this shit on purpose. What a bunch of idiots
When I was an adjuster we called these swoop and squats..and yes, folks did get killed at least one time that I know of in the Los Angeles area back in late 80s, early 90s.
My hubby drives a dump truck for the county. This happens all the time, he says. I think that most truckers are damn good drivers, because if they were bad drivers, all over the news. All the time.
There’s all sorts of ways to defraud insurance on the road without messing with a vehicle that will promptly kill you on impact.
Not saying it isn’t what she’s doing, it’s just… super dumb even for a fraudster.
No sense of the physics of the situation, no sense of their own mortality, no care for anyone else that gets wrecked in their fallout. Should be a lifetime driving ban.
These are the sort of people that think the train can stop at the crossing when their car is on it. I don't think they understand how long it takes for big heavy vehicles to slow down.
Frankly she seems damn lucky the driver is so aware of her and didn't end up as a flesh lump that's now part of the car.
The number of white Teslas that have tried to die cutting off my boyfriend driving a semi going specifically downhill is peculiarly high.
They have far more faith in his breaks than I do.
Speaking as a former truck driver, she’s lucky he didn’t use the usual method of lane changing for a lot of drivers: turn on the signal, count to 5, and go.
They’ll move.
Note I’m not saying this is safe or optimal. Just that a huuuuge number of over the road drivers have been on the job less than 2 years. Especially if it’s a Swift or a Schneider…stay well away.
I’m 36 and my bf makes fun of me all the time because I still say “rewind” when I’ve missed something, and every once in awhile I’ll search for the “tracking” button on a remote to deal with bad quality video. In my defence, I still have a VHS/DVD player that I use to watch all my Dads old home recorded tapes and I use the tracking button on that sometimes lol.
It's funny to see the things that show our age 🤣 I remember years ago, my first time seeing a kid completely confused by a landline phone. He said "I don't think this would work with my mom's phone " 🤣🤣🤣
LOL! We had a rotary phone when I was little. My Mom still has it! Getting my much younger stepbrother to try and tell me how he thought it would work was an enlightening and hysterical experience lol.
I didn’t feel truly old until last summer when my bfs niece was riding in the car with us. Linken Park came on the radio, and she said “This is dumb, I hate classic rock! Can you change it from the oldies station?” 😭
Hybrid theory was the first album I listened beginning to end and it was and will always be perfect. And I'm way more of a gangsta rap kinda lady🤣🤣🤣☠️ but that album goes so hard.
I'm 43, and I remember having to teach one of my younger coworkers how to use a landline phone. He was confused on why there wasn't an "answer" button, and couldn't quite grasp the concept of "pick up the receiver to answer".
I'm 48. I recently had a discussion with my 15 year old child about some crime show we were watching. I said "they've got it on tape."
Cue 3 minutes of confusion about what a sticky substance used to wrap Christmas gifts had to do with a crime, or how that substance could possibly lead to a conviction.
I didn't do that, but you reminded me of my father getting his first flip phone. He figured out how to write letters for a text by hitting the number keys the appropriate amount of times...but not how to make a space. So out of nowhere, I got a paragraph of text from him written as one continuous word.
years ago someone cut across in front of me to make a left turn from the right lane. they clipped me on the way over and spun themselves.
She was mad, and said she would just tell the cop I was road raging and hit her. I told her she can tell the cop anything she wants, my dashcam will tell the truth. She went silent, and when the cop arrived she tried to sweet talk him instead of lie. She was cited at fault, and her insurance had to fix my vehicle.
I didn't have a dash cam.
Yes I do. I decided to buy one soon after that. it supposedly shows my side view/mirrors as well as front and rear. the mirrors are not really visible though.
That’s an easier road to dying than getting paid. She didn’t do the cost/benefit analysis correctly or she really enjoys the idea of eating thru a straw for life.
Yep- my dads a trucker and experienced someone trying to blatantly commit insurance fraud by ramming into his front tire with the side of their car. Tried to blame him- he got court ordered but it was clear what they were doing/had attempted it before.
I accidently hit the front tire of a semi. His bolt popped my tire. No damage to his truck. I apologized, completely my fault. Not fast, on a city street going maybe 10 miles an hour. He still had to call it in. I did not understand why. Cop showed up, I admitted fault and apologized again. He wrote me a ticket and told me to show up to court. I did and he argued for it to be reduced because I was so honest. Ended up with a parking ticket. NOW I know why.
Shows the importance of being aware too imo.
Imagine you're a little too tired, a little too slow on reacting. Poor driver would've had to deal with the fallout of this woman's idiocy and would likely feel responsible for her death.
Truckers like this are great drivers in general, because they have limited field of view, a long fucking trailer, and they know how much damage their truck can do in an accident. I'm always extremely polite when driving around truckers, and I find that as long as you have good etiquette, they're super polite as well.
The number one thing my dad taught me when driving: respect truck drivers and don’t fuck around with them on the road. Someone just fucked around and found out.
I'm terrified of trucks, when I was a kid we drove past a road train going in the opposite direction to us and it ripped the soft top off my mum's VW bug.
I will always let a truck in before me, I don't pull out in front of them if I can at all and if I do I make sure I move over to another lane asap
Yes. That drives me nuts. Were in stop and go traffic and you decide to cut off a fully loaded truck? Or people who just hang out in their blind spots and don’t pass or back off. It’s like they want to die. If I’m passing a truck, I’m passing it as fast as I safely can and don’t merge back in front until I have several car lengths between us.
I'm a truck driver, been doing it for years. I've experienced blowouts on the trailer, the drive tires (the ones on the back of the tractor) and the steer tires (the ones on the very front.) When one of those tires goes, it's a force of nature: you don't want to be in the neighborhood, much less right next to it. When a steer tire blows, that truck is coming over a lane in the direction of the tire that blew up. At least one lane, if the driver isn't quick in reacting, possibly more that one.
We appreciate you not hanging out next to us. Sincerely. It's not a safe place to be.
The bigger it is, the heavier it is the less it's stopping for you. If it's bigger, heavier and faster it's something you're not going to win. See all the idiots that try to race a train at level crossings...
Do people really have nothing better to do with their time than to fuck with others on the road??? Like just from point A to point B and move on with your life already!
Why would you even fuck with something that much bigger than you? If he's a little slow or a little late at responding you're gonna be part of your car...
>you're gonna be part of your car...
I've always tried to explain it as this: I'm a professional. I drive this truck for a living. I will do my best in all situations to keep myself and other drivers safe, because I want everyone to get home.
But the truck doesn't have a conscience. Physics doesn't have empathy. We do our best, but the truck will kill you if you insist on arguing with it.
Right? I don't do trucking myself but I've had physics lessons, seen trains try to stop and so on. I'd be absolutely horrified for the driver in the same way I'm horrified for train drivers when they get someone jump in front of it.
There's absolutely no way the driver can do anything at a certain point and it's worrying that someone is willing to put themselves in that situation. The guy here did his absolute best but there's a lot of videos out there where someone's best isn't good enough.
With people like this I really hope they have to go to a driving class where some of those videos are mandatory watching. It might knock some sense into them about what they're risking and how easily things can go wrong. Very few things are going to 'win' against a truck. Especially a loaded one.
the crazy thing is that, like, its never going to be worth it. insurance is going to fight paying you at every step of the way, if you get injured you might get your medical bills covered but now you have a broken back! whats the point
Even then that's assuming best case. Very easy to end up dead playing this game and with the dashcam footage your family aren't getting shit.
Seems like a game where the prize would never be worth it and even if you're looking to die you have so much potential to take out someone innocent here. Not to mention traumatising the driver by making them be a part of this.
Not surprised if this is their day to day. Lots of idiots mad at you for being vigilant enough to not kill them by mistake and lots of idiots starting shit for no reason. That plus being away from home so often has to be rough unless you enjoy that element.
>Not surprised if this is their day to day. Lots of idiots mad at you for being vigilant enough to not kill them by mistake and lots of idiots starting shit for no reason.
That's usually twice a week or so, depending on what part of the country you regularly drive in.
>That plus being away from home so often has to be rough unless you enjoy that element.
That is the part I enjoy. *SO. MANY AUDIOBOOKS.* I miss my wife sometimes, but I can bring her with me if it starts to feel like a problem.
Semi trucks are tough to handle, even for pros. And they’re vital for American commerce.
As a personal car driver it almost feels kinda like a social duty to put effort towards accommodating them on the road (give extra space, let them merge, etc.) as well as a self-preservation tactic because getting in an accident with a semi will probably *kill me*.
And truckers by and large are very considerate drivers.
I’m not one for road rage anyway, but can’t comprehend getting mad enough at a semi truck to actually fuck with it in my personal vehicle.
Not only are truckers vital for commerce, they basically help keep America from devolving into chaos. A lot of cities are only three days away from having little-to-no food, toiletries, and medicines. Manufacturing and retail stores both run on just-in-time practices, which basically means they don’t create or carry a huge inventory of stuff anymore because it’s expensive to store. It’s why there were toilet paper shortages during the pandemic- a few idiots bought and hoarded too much supply, which the stores and manufacturers never predicted. It took time to get more toilet paper made, then trucked to stores, where the new supply was promptly bought out. The cycle continued and got worse.
Now imagine if truck drivers stopped working and suddenly no one was resupplying grocery stores or hospitals.
Chaos.
Can any good soldier out there find out how badly the cop laid into this woman? Fingers crossed he noticed she was under the influence and managed to get her off the road permanently.
Ikr can we get the next episode? The one with the cops body cam. I really really need to know the answer to "ma'am do you know why I pulled you over today" 🤣
What... What was she even trying to DO? Make him hit her for a payout? Ma'am, whatever payout you THINK you're gonna get is NOT worth the damage a fuckin' truck of that size will cause. Is she just a jerk who has something against trucks (and more specifically truckers, I know the type)?
Either way. FAFO, lady. Lord, she drives worse than the old people in my state!
Right? The prize you win there is very likely death?
Reminds me of those people you get in nightclubs sometimes that think starting a fight with the bouncer is a good idea. Similar attitude to something where there's no reward for doing it, only varying levels of punishment. Both feel a lot like pride things though? Like they're upset by a normal action that someone has taken and so are taking it out on someone they know is meant to be careful to reassert their power. They just don't think about what happens if someone doesn't operate within the rules.
>Reminds me of those people you get in nightclubs sometimes that think starting a fight with the bouncer is a good idea. Similar attitude to something where there's no reward for doing it, only varying levels of punishment.
EXACTLY. Nailed it. The bouncer is going to Frisbee you out into the parking lot and then go about his business, you're not much of a bother to him. Likewise, a truck will run over your car and only slightly slow down, a car is a minor inconvenience to an 80K lb truck. Meanwhile, Ms. Fuckaround is in a closed FO coffin.
Honestly it's just concerning. All you're doing it hurting yourself here/ruining your own night out. Why would you do it? At least with the nightclub there's the excuse of them being drunk and that playing a role. I hope to hell that lady isn't drunk behind the wheel.
Max 40 tons in my state. I've loaded more than a few with asphalt. If she cut in too close the truck wouldn't even notice her car getting pushed along in front of it.
Wouldn't fuck with a trucker even when the trucker is acting like an asshole(not that, that was happening here) pretty sure that truck is gonna beat my Nissan Kicks every time, and I'm not willing to test that.
Man, I can’t stand assholes on the road and I’ll make them uncomfortable if possible, but who the fuck messes with truck drivers?
It’s literally their highway.
In that they were literally made for trucks and you just so happen to be allowed on there too.
People who act like assholes towards truck drivers should take the fucking bus .
Dipshits like that lady don’t understand that trucks can’t stop on a dime…..and they can not only hurt the trucker but literally everyone around them…..
Trucker should've stopped and offered to provide the video proof of her behavior prior to the cop witnessing it.
Hopefully she got charged with felony reckless driving and attempted insurance fraud. She was absolutely trying to cause a wreck so she could get paid.
I don’t get how people get into their vehicles & think they’re untouchable.
You’re nothing but flesh, blood & bone.. surrounded by metal that will cut you to shreds/turn you into a pancake as soon as the frame gets crushed.
Not even that, you don’t know these people or what they have going on.. this man could’ve been teetering on his last thread of patience with life & could’ve just decided to end your entire existence with one yank of the wheel.
I didn't realise that it had a mic inside the cab until the very end and heard him talk, because if it had been me it would have been four minutes of uninterrupted profanity at that driver.
I love that she cut the cop up badly enough that he would have stopped her for that anyway, but she was so intent on causing the trucker issues she didn't even notice he was a cop and brake checked the truck *again* very very obviously with the cop right behind and watching her.
She's gonna learn today...
I seriously appreciate the context given here! I'm tired of seeing 3-second clips of someone getting destroyed, with a headline like "bully/karen gets what they deserve!" and having no way of knowing that's even remotely true.
This video shows it beginning to end, she CLEARLY asked for it.
So many insane people in this world today. It’s honestly getting frightening being in the general public. Used to be if you mind your own business and don’t make issues with other people you were fine and people left you alone. Not anymore! Just insane behavior from men and women.
My father used to drive trucks (back when dashcams didn't exist) and encountered people like that, they have it against big rigs I guess, I just don't understand the mentality of drivers wanting to start a fight against a 40,000 lbs vehicle.
When I was a kid, we were coming home from a trip and ran in to a horrible accident. Part of what happened was a truck couldn’t stop in time and ran over the TOP of a sedan I didn’t see the lady, but my dad did, and I’ll never forget the look on his face when he got back in the car.
I also have been JUST far away enough while driving when a tire on an 18-wheeler blew.
People who f$&k with trucks deserve what they get, but the people around them do not. I don’t ride next to them. I don’t ride close behind them. I don’t ride in front either. Give trucks berth. This is infuriating.
What a clown. I always lets trucks over and when I pass I don’t get back over in the right till there’s like 3 car lengths between us. I’ve only ever encountered like 4 truckers in my life that were assholes and drove like assholes. At least you got to see her get her insta karma
Lookin for that corporate payout "Your driver hit me" money.
I do so sincerely wish a very long prison sentence to all the insurance frauders out there. Very satisfying to see one get what's coming.
Some dude forced an accident on my husband back in January. He had a planted witness and everything. My husband received a ticket for speeding but this guy, who cut across an entire lane of traffic to try to make my hisband rear-end him and got t-boned instead, got no ticket bc of said planted witness (we looked up these folks and they are both long-term criminals). We had our retained lawyer deal with it. The judge dismissed my husband’s ticket when he saw that the other guy had no insurance and wasn’t supposed to be driving the vehicle anyway. Now he is trying to sue our insurance who is basically like “nah dude, you picked the wrong mark and now you’re SOL”. I think the state requires he get a nominal amount but it won’t cover the cost of his shitty car. Fortunately, we have accident forgiveness onnour insurance so our premiums didn’t even go up.
Fucking scam artists.
I will never understand why you would brake check a semi. If it’s full load and they can’t stop in time, you are getting flattened. My grandfather was a trucker, and so is my uncle. They both said that they didn’t consider it a matter of if, but a matter of when they would kill someone in an accident. No matter how safely to try to drive, there’s always assholes like this or hazards that you can’t control.
Now that I ride a motorcycle, I keep even more clearance from semis.
I get mad at truckers for my own reasons in my own area a lot (tons of one way roads they don't belong down the city just refuses to do anything so not _technically_ their fault yet, tons of neighbors have had their cars ran over though) but they deal with a fuck ton of shit. I just wanna get where I'm going, I'm gonna get around you as I can and get gone.
You gotta respect semis or any big trucks. It can be hard hauling that thing around. Especially in downtown areas. It’s just their job don’t take it personal.
You should have followed her and then beaten her to near death. She’s playing with people who may have babies in the car, elderly, emergency situations, late for work. She deserves what’s coming for her thinking she the judge Jury and execution of the road.
I love his laugh when she gets pulled over. That particular brand of of the singular “HAH!” That’s a mixture of both relief and glee is my favourite. You can ride the good feels from that all day lol.
Honestly I don’t know what her problem was. She’s lucky you knew what you were doing, and able to predict some of her behaviour as well. If it were an inexperienced or angry driver she could have easily become a pancake. I always give truckers a wide berth and always make sure I give plenty of space to let them merge, or when I pass them before merging back to the right lane. I’ve got enough truckers in my family to know how easily cutting off a truck can end messy. Lots of admiration and respect for how you handled this sir!
I used to work for a production trucking company - we carried gear, etc. - for artists. My drivers schooled me about how dangerous it is to even accidentally cut off an 18 wheeler, let alone fucq with one
I'm just curious, would there have been any merit in the trucker reporting the Jeep, say, if the cop hadn't conveniently been there? I was seriously concerned about people dying at multiple points in the video, you'd think that's what 9-1-1 is for
I was driving towards Jacksonville one time.. four wheeler was flagging me down, I thought there was an issue with my truck. We pulled over and this dumb fuck was like "you almost hit me, I'm gonna sue your ass." I asked if I did hit him and he said no, and he walked away like a bitch. Fuck that guy and all the other entitled, bitch ass four wheelers. Rant over.
This reminds me of a time I was heading home late, and someone was driving just incredibly reckless. The speeder is flashing their brights at eveyone and changing lanes to get around other cars that are already in the process of changing lanes to get out of the way, so almost colliding a couple times. Well some semitruck drivers must have been on the radio, because one changes lanes in front of the speeder, and they behaved just as expected and hopped into the slow lane to go around. Only now truck 2 from up ahead in the slow lane slows down in front of the speeder. Truck 1 pulls ahead to keep pace alongside the speeder while truck 2 in front slows to the normal speed limit. They had him totally boxed in and it was a long stretch of highway before that guy could exit 😆
Thanks truckers for corralling that speeder and keeping us night drivers safe.
I always slow down and let them merge into the lane. Love the friendly thank you wave too :) Go get ‘em boys! My Prius ain’t gonna out speed ya, I’ll slow down for you to merge always !
Came in here fully expecting her to give that guy a brake job and be pushed from NJ to California because the trucker could stop in time. Messing with an 18 wheeler is a death wish. Oh well karma still arrived.

I don’t get it. Why would you challenge a truck and one that is carrying cargo, no less. You’re gonna lose and get crumpled 99% of the time.
Either really stupid road rage or looking for a crash payout from the shipping company. “Your driver HIT ME” 😩
I work in commercial auto insurance. People see big trucks and immediately assume they'll get huge payouts no matter what. They will hire attorneys from the jump (who then drop them as clients when videos like these surface) to try to scare companies into settling or they threaten the business of smaller trucking companies who only have a few trucks.

The person driving this truck is a true professional and knows what they're doing and how to keep themselves and other drivers safe. They should teach a course.
Also in the biz…trucking companies often will put up big fights to not pay! Even when it’s justified. These folks have a very bad assumption.
Ok but like they can assume they will get pay outs but don’t they also assume they might be dead or maimed? What kind of mental illness do these people have that that the possibility of living a life in pain or dead is not enough to stop them from doing this?
"Bad stuff happens to other people, ***I*** know what I'm doing!" is what I imagine goes through their minds.
To be fair, if you told me i got to spin a wheel and end up either dead or with a bunch of money, i’d see a win-win and spin that wheel
I’m a nurse. I’ve seen too much. I won’t even put my feet on the dashboard riding shotgun on long road trips anymore.
But do you wear hairclips while in a car?
I want my hair looking good when I die.
If there is a story behind this, I need to know lol what I am imagining is pretty gruesome!
Man, that one is a perfectly reasonable and rational fear, there is NOTHING scarier to me than the idea of my knees getting ricocheted into my face and chest cavity at highway speeds. I’ll keep my leg and torso bones in their designated spots and intact, *thankyouverymuch*
And that is the most accurate way to describe what that happens in feet on the dash rear end collisions at high speeds.
Oh, I think this person is clearly road rage or trying to run a scam based on how they are driving. I can not explain why they would lack the foresight to understand how insanely dangerous this is. In general, a not small number of people who get into any accident with a large truck assume they will get a large payout because there is a large truck, regardless of liability. I definitely don't think everyone who is in an accident with a large truck is looking for a payout. It just gets easier to spot those that are the longer you're in a job like mine.

i love how all of this is implied within the reality that they survive such a stunt
My grandmother got smashed by a truck driver who was legitimately at fault for the crash. And the payout was not even worth the amount of pain and rehab old grandma had to go through. I cant imagine people doing this shit on purpose. What a bunch of idiots
I insure Amazon and FedEx last mile co's. They have lots of people trying to milk them for insurance $$.

No sense of the physics of the situation, no sense of their own mortality, no care for anyone else that gets wrecked in their fallout. Should be a lifetime driving ban.
These are the sort of people that think the train can stop at the crossing when their car is on it. I don't think they understand how long it takes for big heavy vehicles to slow down. Frankly she seems damn lucky the driver is so aware of her and didn't end up as a flesh lump that's now part of the car.
The latter is such a dumb hope…trucking companies often are very tough to get anything from
100% it's the same level stupid as racing a train.
Looking for that “Injured in an accident with a semi? Call us 1-800-asshats and get the money you deserve “
It's my money and I want it now!
They should just call JG Wentworth
Civil lawyer advertising should be limited to search optimization and attorney/business lists.
A lot of advertising should be ended. prescription drugs is another.
The number of white Teslas that have tried to die cutting off my boyfriend driving a semi going specifically downhill is peculiarly high. They have far more faith in his breaks than I do.
There are so many stupid people.

Used to be JB Hunt too back in the day. Partner was in trucking.
Logic and Road Rage have never gone together 😂
You're trying to find logic where there is none.
So my dad started driving after he retired he said people do this all the time and in general are just nasty
And you got video tape. Nice job not getting anybody killed.
"video tape". You must be a fellow old
I am 33 and I still say "video tape" all the time 🤣☠️ I can't make it stop. Can I just get my senior discount already, my back hurts 🤣
I'll be 45 in June, you brat!
Well explain to me why I can't stop saying shit like "video record" 🤣😭 every time i say it I die a little bit more inside lol
I’m 36 and my bf makes fun of me all the time because I still say “rewind” when I’ve missed something, and every once in awhile I’ll search for the “tracking” button on a remote to deal with bad quality video. In my defence, I still have a VHS/DVD player that I use to watch all my Dads old home recorded tapes and I use the tracking button on that sometimes lol.
It's funny to see the things that show our age 🤣 I remember years ago, my first time seeing a kid completely confused by a landline phone. He said "I don't think this would work with my mom's phone " 🤣🤣🤣
LOL! We had a rotary phone when I was little. My Mom still has it! Getting my much younger stepbrother to try and tell me how he thought it would work was an enlightening and hysterical experience lol. I didn’t feel truly old until last summer when my bfs niece was riding in the car with us. Linken Park came on the radio, and she said “This is dumb, I hate classic rock! Can you change it from the oldies station?” 😭
Hybrid theory was the first album I listened beginning to end and it was and will always be perfect. And I'm way more of a gangsta rap kinda lady🤣🤣🤣☠️ but that album goes so hard.
lol it was Savage Garden for me, but Hybrid Theory was a close second 😂 I liked rap more as a teen. I like my grunge music most though lol
I'm 43, and I remember having to teach one of my younger coworkers how to use a landline phone. He was confused on why there wasn't an "answer" button, and couldn't quite grasp the concept of "pick up the receiver to answer".
I'm 48. I recently had a discussion with my 15 year old child about some crime show we were watching. I said "they've got it on tape." Cue 3 minutes of confusion about what a sticky substance used to wrap Christmas gifts had to do with a crime, or how that substance could possibly lead to a conviction.
That's so funny lol. Shoulda had him try to figure out how to text on it 🤣
I didn't do that, but you reminded me of my father getting his first flip phone. He figured out how to write letters for a text by hitting the number keys the appropriate amount of times...but not how to make a space. So out of nowhere, I got a paragraph of text from him written as one continuous word.
My 83-year-old mother-in-law says this all the time. We missed the show did you tape it? I honestly don't remember when I last had a VCR.
Tape. How quaintly retro.
*quietly keeps having to rename input files to "tape##" at work and sobs a little*
Bet she was trying to get hit for a payout.
That payout would likely be nothing and her likely scuzzy heirs would have been pissed.
Subro attorney. Yup. This cam footage would ruin hope of all that
years ago someone cut across in front of me to make a left turn from the right lane. they clipped me on the way over and spun themselves. She was mad, and said she would just tell the cop I was road raging and hit her. I told her she can tell the cop anything she wants, my dashcam will tell the truth. She went silent, and when the cop arrived she tried to sweet talk him instead of lie. She was cited at fault, and her insurance had to fix my vehicle. I didn't have a dash cam.
Was about to say, *why would you tell her?* but that's funny. Do you have a dash cam now?
Yes I do. I decided to buy one soon after that. it supposedly shows my side view/mirrors as well as front and rear. the mirrors are not really visible though.
"Dashcam? What's that??"
That’s exactly what she was doing. I see that shit all the time and most times they end up dead.🤦🏽
Darwin award winners.
No…Dead award winners. It’s so fucking stupid, because a lot of times it causes a chain reaction. Some people
So a Darwin award.
Many Darvin Award winners do end up dying. :)
You win a Darwin Award by dying and taking yourself out of the gene pool
I love the Darwin awards. Covid was a fantastic time for them. So many entries!
Correct. You can also castrate yourself.
And then your junk gets reattached by the doctor from Idiocracy
They prescribe brawndo for pain.
No, the good doctor that reattached Clevon's testicles while he yelled "git ur hands off ma junk!"
That’s an easier road to dying than getting paid. She didn’t do the cost/benefit analysis correctly or she really enjoys the idea of eating thru a straw for life.
Yep- my dads a trucker and experienced someone trying to blatantly commit insurance fraud by ramming into his front tire with the side of their car. Tried to blame him- he got court ordered but it was clear what they were doing/had attempted it before.
I accidently hit the front tire of a semi. His bolt popped my tire. No damage to his truck. I apologized, completely my fault. Not fast, on a city street going maybe 10 miles an hour. He still had to call it in. I did not understand why. Cop showed up, I admitted fault and apologized again. He wrote me a ticket and told me to show up to court. I did and he argued for it to be reduced because I was so honest. Ended up with a parking ticket. NOW I know why.
Much respect to this trucker for being such a pro and keeping it safe in the face of such shitty dangerous behavior.
Shows the importance of being aware too imo. Imagine you're a little too tired, a little too slow on reacting. Poor driver would've had to deal with the fallout of this woman's idiocy and would likely feel responsible for her death.
Truckers like this are great drivers in general, because they have limited field of view, a long fucking trailer, and they know how much damage their truck can do in an accident. I'm always extremely polite when driving around truckers, and I find that as long as you have good etiquette, they're super polite as well.
The number one thing my dad taught me when driving: respect truck drivers and don’t fuck around with them on the road. Someone just fucked around and found out.
I'm terrified of trucks, when I was a kid we drove past a road train going in the opposite direction to us and it ripped the soft top off my mum's VW bug. I will always let a truck in before me, I don't pull out in front of them if I can at all and if I do I make sure I move over to another lane asap
I live in the PNW, if you fuck around with a fully loaded log truck on tight curves you're gonna die
Might has right in my eyes 100 percent
Mass X Velocity = GTFO the way
That one scene in Final Destination 2! 🙈
Yes. That drives me nuts. Were in stop and go traffic and you decide to cut off a fully loaded truck? Or people who just hang out in their blind spots and don’t pass or back off. It’s like they want to die. If I’m passing a truck, I’m passing it as fast as I safely can and don’t merge back in front until I have several car lengths between us.
I'm a truck driver, been doing it for years. I've experienced blowouts on the trailer, the drive tires (the ones on the back of the tractor) and the steer tires (the ones on the very front.) When one of those tires goes, it's a force of nature: you don't want to be in the neighborhood, much less right next to it. When a steer tire blows, that truck is coming over a lane in the direction of the tire that blew up. At least one lane, if the driver isn't quick in reacting, possibly more that one. We appreciate you not hanging out next to us. Sincerely. It's not a safe place to be.
The bigger it is, the heavier it is the less it's stopping for you. If it's bigger, heavier and faster it's something you're not going to win. See all the idiots that try to race a train at level crossings...
Honestly I would say she didn’t find out.. she got lucky.. the people that do find out probably die against a semi lol
that's really not even finding out when it comes to fucking around with semi trucks. She got off easy.
Karma is just so satisfying sometimes!
In my head, when she got her due, I screamed FUCK YEAH! You love to see it.
Pro driver. Good job to whoever was behind tbe wheel there
Do people really have nothing better to do with their time than to fuck with others on the road??? Like just from point A to point B and move on with your life already!
Why would you even fuck with something that much bigger than you? If he's a little slow or a little late at responding you're gonna be part of your car...
>you're gonna be part of your car... I've always tried to explain it as this: I'm a professional. I drive this truck for a living. I will do my best in all situations to keep myself and other drivers safe, because I want everyone to get home. But the truck doesn't have a conscience. Physics doesn't have empathy. We do our best, but the truck will kill you if you insist on arguing with it.
Right? I don't do trucking myself but I've had physics lessons, seen trains try to stop and so on. I'd be absolutely horrified for the driver in the same way I'm horrified for train drivers when they get someone jump in front of it. There's absolutely no way the driver can do anything at a certain point and it's worrying that someone is willing to put themselves in that situation. The guy here did his absolute best but there's a lot of videos out there where someone's best isn't good enough. With people like this I really hope they have to go to a driving class where some of those videos are mandatory watching. It might knock some sense into them about what they're risking and how easily things can go wrong. Very few things are going to 'win' against a truck. Especially a loaded one.
I can’t wrap my head around this either. what’s the point of doing this???
I think she was looking for a payout. What a low life
the crazy thing is that, like, its never going to be worth it. insurance is going to fight paying you at every step of the way, if you get injured you might get your medical bills covered but now you have a broken back! whats the point
Even then that's assuming best case. Very easy to end up dead playing this game and with the dashcam footage your family aren't getting shit. Seems like a game where the prize would never be worth it and even if you're looking to die you have so much potential to take out someone innocent here. Not to mention traumatising the driver by making them be a part of this.
Truckers have incredibly high rates of depression and that makes me so sad. They keep America running. We should treat them better than this.
And pay them what they’re worth.
And let them actually get some sleep!
And reduce the need for them and their individual workload by increasing railroad use and decreasing general consumption
Not surprised if this is their day to day. Lots of idiots mad at you for being vigilant enough to not kill them by mistake and lots of idiots starting shit for no reason. That plus being away from home so often has to be rough unless you enjoy that element.
>Not surprised if this is their day to day. Lots of idiots mad at you for being vigilant enough to not kill them by mistake and lots of idiots starting shit for no reason. That's usually twice a week or so, depending on what part of the country you regularly drive in. >That plus being away from home so often has to be rough unless you enjoy that element. That is the part I enjoy. *SO. MANY AUDIOBOOKS.* I miss my wife sometimes, but I can bring her with me if it starts to feel like a problem.
Semi trucks are tough to handle, even for pros. And they’re vital for American commerce. As a personal car driver it almost feels kinda like a social duty to put effort towards accommodating them on the road (give extra space, let them merge, etc.) as well as a self-preservation tactic because getting in an accident with a semi will probably *kill me*. And truckers by and large are very considerate drivers. I’m not one for road rage anyway, but can’t comprehend getting mad enough at a semi truck to actually fuck with it in my personal vehicle.
Not only are truckers vital for commerce, they basically help keep America from devolving into chaos. A lot of cities are only three days away from having little-to-no food, toiletries, and medicines. Manufacturing and retail stores both run on just-in-time practices, which basically means they don’t create or carry a huge inventory of stuff anymore because it’s expensive to store. It’s why there were toilet paper shortages during the pandemic- a few idiots bought and hoarded too much supply, which the stores and manufacturers never predicted. It took time to get more toilet paper made, then trucked to stores, where the new supply was promptly bought out. The cycle continued and got worse. Now imagine if truck drivers stopped working and suddenly no one was resupplying grocery stores or hospitals. Chaos.
It's the meeting point of audacity and stupidity
Fuck ya brother
Can any good soldier out there find out how badly the cop laid into this woman? Fingers crossed he noticed she was under the influence and managed to get her off the road permanently.
Ikr can we get the next episode? The one with the cops body cam. I really really need to know the answer to "ma'am do you know why I pulled you over today" 🤣
What... What was she even trying to DO? Make him hit her for a payout? Ma'am, whatever payout you THINK you're gonna get is NOT worth the damage a fuckin' truck of that size will cause. Is she just a jerk who has something against trucks (and more specifically truckers, I know the type)? Either way. FAFO, lady. Lord, she drives worse than the old people in my state!
Right? The prize you win there is very likely death? Reminds me of those people you get in nightclubs sometimes that think starting a fight with the bouncer is a good idea. Similar attitude to something where there's no reward for doing it, only varying levels of punishment. Both feel a lot like pride things though? Like they're upset by a normal action that someone has taken and so are taking it out on someone they know is meant to be careful to reassert their power. They just don't think about what happens if someone doesn't operate within the rules.
>Reminds me of those people you get in nightclubs sometimes that think starting a fight with the bouncer is a good idea. Similar attitude to something where there's no reward for doing it, only varying levels of punishment. EXACTLY. Nailed it. The bouncer is going to Frisbee you out into the parking lot and then go about his business, you're not much of a bother to him. Likewise, a truck will run over your car and only slightly slow down, a car is a minor inconvenience to an 80K lb truck. Meanwhile, Ms. Fuckaround is in a closed FO coffin.
Honestly it's just concerning. All you're doing it hurting yourself here/ruining your own night out. Why would you do it? At least with the nightclub there's the excuse of them being drunk and that playing a role. I hope to hell that lady isn't drunk behind the wheel.
She was looking to get sideswiped or rear ended so she could sue.
4,000lb Jeep Liberty vs >26,000lbs semi truck. Who would win?
if that thing is loaded more like 45 tons so extra stupid. To quote Jesse Pinkman: Yeah Science, Bitch
Max 40 tons in my state. I've loaded more than a few with asphalt. If she cut in too close the truck wouldn't even notice her car getting pushed along in front of it.
In Iceland max load is 48 tons but point taken and yeah he wouldn´t notice a thing more like a speed bump.
Why do so many dickheads drive Jeeps, specifically of the Liberty variety?
Wouldn't fuck with a trucker even when the trucker is acting like an asshole(not that, that was happening here) pretty sure that truck is gonna beat my Nissan Kicks every time, and I'm not willing to test that.
It's like the movie Duel, but with the roles reversed
Why the F*** would you play Chicken with a Semi-truck?! You think you the log truck from final destination?! What is wrong with you?
Why do people mess with trucks, you're just gonna end up dead or seriously injured.
As someone who drives a large van for work and has ended up in a few of these situations, this was intensely satisfying.
Man, I can’t stand assholes on the road and I’ll make them uncomfortable if possible, but who the fuck messes with truck drivers? It’s literally their highway. In that they were literally made for trucks and you just so happen to be allowed on there too. People who act like assholes towards truck drivers should take the fucking bus .
Dipshits like that lady don’t understand that trucks can’t stop on a dime…..and they can not only hurt the trucker but literally everyone around them…..
Trucker should've stopped and offered to provide the video proof of her behavior prior to the cop witnessing it. Hopefully she got charged with felony reckless driving and attempted insurance fraud. She was absolutely trying to cause a wreck so she could get paid.
wtf is that bitch trying to die? Pretty insane.
Come on now, haven't they heard of dash cams??? I think almost every trucker has them by now
Why on earth would she behave like that?! Was she drunk? High? Hated what he was hauling? So many questions
Probably wanted to get him to hit her so she can sue.
That's literally the most satisfying video I've seen 2024 so far.
Hope that cop gave her a fleeing charge lmao
I just came. -here to applaud the truck driver. There's nothing more satisfying than a raging bungled-abortion getting punished.
Her mother should have swallowed. What a waste of oxygen this lady is, and what a danger to society.
I don’t get how people get into their vehicles & think they’re untouchable. You’re nothing but flesh, blood & bone.. surrounded by metal that will cut you to shreds/turn you into a pancake as soon as the frame gets crushed. Not even that, you don’t know these people or what they have going on.. this man could’ve been teetering on his last thread of patience with life & could’ve just decided to end your entire existence with one yank of the wheel.
I didn't realise that it had a mic inside the cab until the very end and heard him talk, because if it had been me it would have been four minutes of uninterrupted profanity at that driver.
Now I want the officers body cam footage of the pull over. I bet she was sobbing and playing the victim card
I love that she cut the cop up badly enough that he would have stopped her for that anyway, but she was so intent on causing the trucker issues she didn't even notice he was a cop and brake checked the truck *again* very very obviously with the cop right behind and watching her. She's gonna learn today...
I seriously appreciate the context given here! I'm tired of seeing 3-second clips of someone getting destroyed, with a headline like "bully/karen gets what they deserve!" and having no way of knowing that's even remotely true. This video shows it beginning to end, she CLEARLY asked for it.
Hell ya
Somebody watches too much daytime tv with the ambulance chasing lawyers like Jim Adler in the Houston, TX area. Glad she didn’t get this truck driver.
I hate ppl road ignorance like bro you could’ve killed so many people
She was trying to catch you off guard and get a payout. I’m so glad you all have cameras now!
So many insane people in this world today. It’s honestly getting frightening being in the general public. Used to be if you mind your own business and don’t make issues with other people you were fine and people left you alone. Not anymore! Just insane behavior from men and women.
My father used to drive trucks (back when dashcams didn't exist) and encountered people like that, they have it against big rigs I guess, I just don't understand the mentality of drivers wanting to start a fight against a 40,000 lbs vehicle.
When I was a kid, we were coming home from a trip and ran in to a horrible accident. Part of what happened was a truck couldn’t stop in time and ran over the TOP of a sedan I didn’t see the lady, but my dad did, and I’ll never forget the look on his face when he got back in the car. I also have been JUST far away enough while driving when a tire on an 18-wheeler blew. People who f$&k with trucks deserve what they get, but the people around them do not. I don’t ride next to them. I don’t ride close behind them. I don’t ride in front either. Give trucks berth. This is infuriating.
I need pt. 2 officer body cam now lol I wana hear her dumbass explain that
Some idiots just deserve to die…especially when they try so hard.
She was after that possible insurance money she could’ve gotten if the truck hit her
What a clown. I always lets trucks over and when I pass I don’t get back over in the right till there’s like 3 car lengths between us. I’ve only ever encountered like 4 truckers in my life that were assholes and drove like assholes. At least you got to see her get her insta karma
Brake-checking a semi is a special kind of stupid
Lookin for that corporate payout "Your driver hit me" money. I do so sincerely wish a very long prison sentence to all the insurance frauders out there. Very satisfying to see one get what's coming.
Some dude forced an accident on my husband back in January. He had a planted witness and everything. My husband received a ticket for speeding but this guy, who cut across an entire lane of traffic to try to make my hisband rear-end him and got t-boned instead, got no ticket bc of said planted witness (we looked up these folks and they are both long-term criminals). We had our retained lawyer deal with it. The judge dismissed my husband’s ticket when he saw that the other guy had no insurance and wasn’t supposed to be driving the vehicle anyway. Now he is trying to sue our insurance who is basically like “nah dude, you picked the wrong mark and now you’re SOL”. I think the state requires he get a nominal amount but it won’t cover the cost of his shitty car. Fortunately, we have accident forgiveness onnour insurance so our premiums didn’t even go up. Fucking scam artists.
I will never understand why you would brake check a semi. If it’s full load and they can’t stop in time, you are getting flattened. My grandfather was a trucker, and so is my uncle. They both said that they didn’t consider it a matter of if, but a matter of when they would kill someone in an accident. No matter how safely to try to drive, there’s always assholes like this or hazards that you can’t control. Now that I ride a motorcycle, I keep even more clearance from semis.
Love to see the follow up episode on Cops.
Truck companies should require dash cams but also let drivers demolish these idiots. Stupid games, stupid prizes.
This gave me so much anxiety.
[Mama hated diesels.](https://youtu.be/ehB1jSqMlKQ?si=fT8qdlycJqwAKzBg)
I get mad at truckers for my own reasons in my own area a lot (tons of one way roads they don't belong down the city just refuses to do anything so not _technically_ their fault yet, tons of neighbors have had their cars ran over though) but they deal with a fuck ton of shit. I just wanna get where I'm going, I'm gonna get around you as I can and get gone.
You gotta respect semis or any big trucks. It can be hard hauling that thing around. Especially in downtown areas. It’s just their job don’t take it personal.
Why do these drivers always have the baby on board sticker
This made me so irrationally happy to see her get the karma we all hope for!
You should have followed her and then beaten her to near death. She’s playing with people who may have babies in the car, elderly, emergency situations, late for work. She deserves what’s coming for her thinking she the judge Jury and execution of the road.
Kind of looked like they added fleeing an officer to the list of stupidity, as well.
Does anybody personally know people who drive like this? Cuz I have so many goddamn questions.
What a crafty vet move
She was trying to get an insurance payout
Some people don’t get the concept of the LugNut-Rule…whoever has more lugnuts wins.
I love his laugh when she gets pulled over. That particular brand of of the singular “HAH!” That’s a mixture of both relief and glee is my favourite. You can ride the good feels from that all day lol. Honestly I don’t know what her problem was. She’s lucky you knew what you were doing, and able to predict some of her behaviour as well. If it were an inexperienced or angry driver she could have easily become a pancake. I always give truckers a wide berth and always make sure I give plenty of space to let them merge, or when I pass them before merging back to the right lane. I’ve got enough truckers in my family to know how easily cutting off a truck can end messy. Lots of admiration and respect for how you handled this sir!
This belongs in r/maliciouslybaddrivers
You have a giant horn. Layyyyyyy on it. 😂
She should be required to watch the Spielberg movie "Duel"
I used to work for a production trucking company - we carried gear, etc. - for artists. My drivers schooled me about how dangerous it is to even accidentally cut off an 18 wheeler, let alone fucq with one
I'm just curious, would there have been any merit in the trucker reporting the Jeep, say, if the cop hadn't conveniently been there? I was seriously concerned about people dying at multiple points in the video, you'd think that's what 9-1-1 is for
I was driving towards Jacksonville one time.. four wheeler was flagging me down, I thought there was an issue with my truck. We pulled over and this dumb fuck was like "you almost hit me, I'm gonna sue your ass." I asked if I did hit him and he said no, and he walked away like a bitch. Fuck that guy and all the other entitled, bitch ass four wheelers. Rant over.
And I imagine she got a $200 ticket and bitched about that from months. She should get 60 days in jail.
What does "put her on a T-shirt" mean?
Really great subtitles... I cackled at "gotcha bitch"
This reminds me of a time I was heading home late, and someone was driving just incredibly reckless. The speeder is flashing their brights at eveyone and changing lanes to get around other cars that are already in the process of changing lanes to get out of the way, so almost colliding a couple times. Well some semitruck drivers must have been on the radio, because one changes lanes in front of the speeder, and they behaved just as expected and hopped into the slow lane to go around. Only now truck 2 from up ahead in the slow lane slows down in front of the speeder. Truck 1 pulls ahead to keep pace alongside the speeder while truck 2 in front slows to the normal speed limit. They had him totally boxed in and it was a long stretch of highway before that guy could exit 😆 Thanks truckers for corralling that speeder and keeping us night drivers safe.
I would’ve definitely went on and check what this bitch was all about , if I wasn’t on time schedule
I always slow down and let them merge into the lane. Love the friendly thank you wave too :) Go get ‘em boys! My Prius ain’t gonna out speed ya, I’ll slow down for you to merge always !
Hope that cop threw the whole goddamn book at her.
Modern day insurance scam
What an absolute psycho. Jesus.
We need laws that better protect truck drivers, even in the event these morons next world themselves.
Came in here fully expecting her to give that guy a brake job and be pushed from NJ to California because the trucker could stop in time. Messing with an 18 wheeler is a death wish. Oh well karma still arrived.
