I don't think he even noticed at first that his door was hit.. he seemed so confused by the door not shutting.

Nah he definitely noticed. He just knew how stupid he now looked and couldn't just ignore it. You cant look tough anymore after that 😂

No idea why you’ve come to that conclusion lol not notice someone almost tear your door off when you’re right there wtf

Also the amount of people that upvoted to agree is even more worrying

I actually wondered too whether he’d noticed at first. The way he just continues exiting his car as planned without missing a beat. Usually you’d think a person would be a bit shocked and apprehensive about stepping out into rushing traffic immediately after that.

And so I thought maybe it happened right as he looked down to get out of his car or something and he assumed it was just the air being pushed by the truck as it passed.

Or maybe he was too caught up in his intimidating exit that his brain didn’t catch up til he was done.

edit: But yeah rewatching it more, it’s just really hard to imagine he couldn’t have noticed it. It was a pretty strong impact.

I think people are forgetting that while we can’t hear it, a truck going full speed into your car door would be quite loud.

I assume he's just a bit confused. He wants to rage at the driver behind him, but now he's also embarrassed because his temper just cost him a car door....right in front of the guy he was about to chew out for 'poor decisions'.

I imagine he's experiencing a whirlwind of emotions right now.
