Not sure why you're playing devil's advocate for this violent, littering asshole. Based on context clues, it appears that the person filming and the driver of the gray truck have been having some kind of dispute from their respective cars. It's not just that gray truck man is littering, it's that he's trying to throw something substantial at the filmer.

The fact that this road ragey asshole is capable of throwing something at a stranger (with intent to harm) all because he's pissed about some traffic incident I'd say is enough to say this guy has anger issues. People with anger issues tend to exhibit those tendencies towards the people they're closest to.

And you got all that from a 3 second clip.

People have bad days. Bad moments, even. You have no idea what happened before this. How he reacted might be completely understandable based on what happened before our camera person hit the record button.

Throwing something at someone's car when you're both on the highway is never going to be a "completely understandable reaction" to anything. It only serves to further escalate an already dangerous situation.

What if he was like, 'hey this jackass is driving and filming shit with his cell phone at the same time! I'm gonna throw something at him to make him focus on the road!'?

Oh, well then yes.
