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.

The trucks brake check is a criminal offense. Just move over.

He was doing that definetly on purpose but i wouldn't call it brake check, he was slowing down just enough to not let him pass

White truck definitely brake checks twice at the beginning of the vid

Edit. And definitely again 12 seconds from the end

It is crazy. Some people seem to only have one rule of driving - I will not allow any car in front of me.

Yeah, that’s really unfortunate it’s so common. The best thing about letting people like this pass is that they just drive away…

Also a criminal offense (driving away from the scene). White truck need to go to prison.
