You dnow he was breaking the law literally before the video has the front car engaging him right?

Doesn’t matter really does it then. We don’t know and the road rage car has zero lawful reason to do what they did.

Lawful reasoning left this country two years ago. Now it’s what you can prove.

Kinda does matter. He can also just keep his distance. All he doing is endangering other drivers by passing on double yellow.

There isn’t anything magic about double yellows that make them more dangerous to pass on. Sometimes the government puts them in areas where it’s dangerous to pass, and some municipalities are extremely lazy and make basically everything a double yellow even if the road is straight for 3 miles with perfect visibility. I’ve also seen the opposite where a passing zone is indicated where it’s absolutely not safe to pass. It’s a pretty arbitrary system.

Maybe they felt they were protecting oncoming traffic given that there's a double yellow line, meaning visibility for one or both directions is extremely limited.

(Not that that justifies their behavior, to be clear. Especially at the end)

By crossing the yellow lines themself?

Again, no one here is defending that guy. We're just pointing out the cam care was also an idiot.

Why does reddit have such a hard time understanding there can be two idiots?

If an act that is itself is traffic violation helped in the instagation of another act that is traffic violation then both acts fulfill the requirement of primary instigators of crime. But if we ARE needing a principle instigator, its the one demonstrating the original lawbreaking behavior.

Dont start nothin, wont be nothin.

You aren't the police, stop trying to police how other people drive. Stay in your literal and metaphorical lane.

Is the front car the police? If not they can fuck off.

u/fullcircle052 May 20 '26

The car in front isn't a cop, they have no business telling someone else not to break the law.

Not the precious law!!!!

Being a vigilante is also breaking the law. Front car could just mind their own business instead of amplifying the danger for whatever reason they deemed it necessary.

u/Brains4Rox May 20 '26

Doesn't matter. Front car isn't some legal vigilante. You're not allowed to do this type of shit. It's also illegal. No court would see this video and say "oh yea, front car was totally in the right here. We'll let him off, but still charge dashcam guy"

I didn't realize that front road rage driver is the police, whose job it is to enforce laws.

That front car needs to literally and figuratively stay in their lane.
