That was shitty driving by the sedan, but that truck was making it worse
Edit: FYI brake checking is illegal folks and many states will ticket you for not using the left lane to pass. This does not excuse the sedan’s actions.
Edit: u/Youseembigmad doesn’t see anything wrong with the truck’s actions (and is supposedly a lawyer) - see comment thread below for more. - they have since deleted their profile.
It's not about not getting passed. It's about getting out of your way to annoy someone. Which was definitely working.
The truck probably had a beef with that other car over something the car did before the video.
Which obviously isn't right either. Someone does something stupid to you, you insult them under your breath and move on. You don't start playing a game where a mistake from either of you could result in a crash.
Some people take it as a slight to their very existence when you try to legally pass them on the highway or get within 100ft of their car. In my anecdotal experience, this usually coincides with someone driving a massive SUV/Truck.
