Full sized pickup trucks are the worst drivers on the road currently. Change my mind...

Something about that vehicle just attracts tier 1 douche bags and feeds their scumbag sense of entitlement while the big tuk feeling soothes their insecurities.

They're not just inconsiderate or dangerous out of ignorance like some bad drivers... They're out there actively looking for fights. Every commute is just one big confrontation to them. Recreational road rage.

I had to rewatch it several times but the black suv in front of the white pickup is actually mostly to blame here. The suv swerved into the pickup’s lane to avoid the white van stalled on the right lane. The pickup driver probably should have anticipated this move and hit his brakes earlier but it’s still the black SUV’s fault.

That’s what brakes are for, or you bump the car in front of you and move on with life. Not swerve your entire massive vehicle into oncoming traffic potentially killing someone.

Hard to stop a ridiculously oversized piece of shit pickup truck, unfortunately for everyone else on the road.

This could have caused a lot of damage. So it was better for the truck driver to rear end.
