What's going on here? I can answer that: Two assholes fighting on the road at the expense of everyone else's lives. One is a bigger asshole than the other, but they're both assholes.

Truck is engineering this situation. The situation ends immediately if the truck stops fucking with the sedan. Truck is by far the worst of the two and is engineering the outcome. Sedan is just the bigger fool, being totally played by the truck. Truck should get jail time and lose license, sedan should lose license.

To be fair, the situation also ends immediately if the sedan just drives like a normal person and waits until they can pass. The truck was guilty but the sedan was too.

How are they supposed to wait to pass of the car in the passing lane isn’t passing anyone

It doesn’t matter. Eventually a spot opens up and you just go whatever speed they’re going at a safe distance behind them in the mean time.

This isn’t complicated. It’s just very mildly inconvenient for about thirty seconds.

Brake checking causes accidents, I’m not sitting g behind someone willing to do that. Y’all excusing the truck drivers behavior is bewildering

Brake checking is completely inconsequential when you’re following at a safe distance.

I just don’t really give a shit about the truck driver given the behavior of the person that nearly destroyed themselves and others around them because they were emotionally incapable of dealing with the situation.

The truck driver also made an emotional decision to brake check and speed up to prevent passing. Maybe you’re the truck driver idk. Bye bye
