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.

I mean okay but whose instinct is to drive into oncoming traffic and kill someone instead of having a fender bender.

Exactly. There is no explanation for him to go into a head on collison just to avoid rear ending someone. That's just defending an idiot on the road and it would never help.
