I know you're waiting for the USA&Canada video, that one will be on 31st of December.
Until then, stay safe!
I love your videos u should do more often they amazing
I use to be a Motor Coach Driver. I was driving on I-90 in Cleveland, I was in the passing lane. this Crazy Broad tried to cut in front of my Bus. One of my passenger yelled Look Out! She lost control got between me and the Jersey Wall , I was standing on the brake. She then tried to move to the right back in front of me. She caught the corner of the bumper. I pitted her and pushed he another 200 Feet. The CPD arrived to the to the crash talked to the woman. I was waiting to tell my description of what happened. He said I don't Care. Your at Fault. This where it gets good. I told him you need to speak to my passengers/witnesses. He said I'll talk to who I want to talk to!! I told him you need to talk to my witnesses. He gave me a look like I thought I was somebody special. I said it's your job! He stomped over to the bus got on the bus. His next words were "Holy F*ck! now for the Coup de Gras! My passenger were 42 Ohio State Troopers.
I genuinely wasn’t expecting that ending 😂😂
Good karma, there. 👍
@Tony Hancock well that didn't come off as creepy at all
@Tony Hancock Lol look at you trying to sound smart Tony 😂
@Tony Hancock lol, you got triggered to writing some long word salad. Did you forget to take your meds?
After watching several of these "brake check" videos, I was happy to buy two new things for my truck: 1) A dashcam that records in 4k and 2) A steel front bumper with a push bar on it. After I installed the steel bumper, I haven't been brake checked. I guess people realize that they'll get A LOT more damage than I will. But if they do, I have them on dashcam. Both items were money well spent!
I’m about to get my cdl license watching these people brake check people is scary bro I don’t think I would have stopped just would’ve hit them
Now if only we can stop truckers from creeping up to with 6ft of your bumper, usually while you're already doing 5 over the speed limit and on an open two lane divided highway. You're 80,000 pounds. In what world is safe for you to follow at a fraction of the distance that it would be safe for a Prius to follow at? Truckers are some of the most aggressive and unsafe drivers on the road. So don't pretend you are always innocent.
@@benjaminrapp7418 stfu they drive carefully I see them every time I go to the city people cutting in front of them last minute cars not letting them in because they are slow just because you experienced it once doesn’t mean they all like that bro
@@benjaminrapp7418 5 over the speed limit is nothing buddy sorry to tell you
@@relentero8547 So many idiots think driving the speed limit gives them the right to hog the passing lane... so sad
I just love the driver at the end "go across the bridge and get out and see what I do to ya" driver wasn't even having that and when he got out the big man still ain't do nothing! Big talk from a small man and an even bigger beer belly 😂

@@Swissmgs ok
@@Swissmgs Stop spamming on other channels dude, way uncool.
0:40 also, pay closer attention to the traffic in front of you. You should've been slowing down a LOT sooner. You would've been at fault if you rear ended either of those other trucks.
For sure, and both truck drivers in front of him should have put their hazards on.
You can also tell from the lanes on the left that the driver was accelerating faster than anyone else on the road, such poor awareness
I thought the same thing. And thought I would look through the comments before I commented about it.
@@DigiPal There is no law anywhere saying any drivers need to do that. The person behind them is supposed to be watching for traffic in front of them, and what that traffic is doing.
Good thing nobody was stopped on the shoulder either, they would have ended them.
I have been and still am on the side of the semi driver. Pulling a 60,000 pound trailer is a big responsibility that takes well earned skill. But I have seen some semi drivers thinking they were competing in NASCAR. That scares me because of the carnage that can happen. I always give way to a trucker/semi driver because I may be a skilled driver, but I’m not a stupid driver.
Wouldn’t that just put more stress on the mounting points of your truck if you hit them? Frame damage?
it's just like in any profession, there's idiots everywhere.
It's also why playing a game of chicken with a semi-driver pulling a load *that heavy* is a really, really dumb idea. Because the moment the semi-driver succumbs to road rage then it's a reminder where, between a "match" between a semi pulling a 60k+ pound trailer and a puny-by-comparison everyday vehicle, the semi with the heavy load will *always* win... and that's a lesson that these idiots are going to learn the very, VERY hard way.
It's just like motorcycle riders and cars. They're constantly zipping around, flouting the rules like they own the road.
When they _should_ be terrified of what happens if there's a collision.
There rarely is, though, and they get away with being little shits. And have the nerve to say _cars_ should drive safer!
@@GabLeGamer Except not too many professions have idiots guiding 80,000 pound missiles.
5:08 seems like destiny. One moron coming from the left collides with another moron on the right. Lol. "How did you two meet?" "It is quite the story and it is even on video."
I can't believe the trucker didn't know that they were both wrong.

@@MaxZomboni why would a trucker need to know what motorcycles can do, I know a motorcycle can legally lane split (clearly not on the shoulder), but I also know a peterbilt 389 can't lane split, so there isn't any need for a trucker to know every law motorcycle riders have to.
I’ve taught myself to not get frustrated with terrible drivers. When I see one I just tell myself “you can’t fix stupid”
100% with you. I swear I've seen more ridiculously stupid road rage this past year than any other year I can think of. Don't engage them, just let 'em go on ahead and they can think they "won".
On the last clip the bigmouth didn't expect the guy to get out of his truck and call him on his bs. He practically ran away.
I think he was counting on his nice beer belly to absorb all of the blows. Maybe he thinks it makes him invulnerable. 😂
"Shoulder is not a lane" seems like they popped up pretty fast. Probably didn't check to make sure it was good to move over...kinda hard with one missing also lol.
I thought the same thing. Shoulder is a lane when some truck pushes you into it. Seen a few dashcams of that happening recently from the cars point of view. One of them might be this guy.
Yeah, that front right mirror was missing 2+ months. Seems like it could have been replaced after a few days at most. Sketchy.
Truck cut the guy off.
0:34 The irony of a truck driver not paying attention, telling everyone else to pay attention...
Maybe he learned his lesson and is now trying to pass it on to others?
That was the most remarkable clip you felt the need to comment on in this video? Those trucks decelerated pretty abruptly...the truck driver acted appropriately and moved towards the shoulder. If he really wasn't paying attention he would've slammed into the back of one of them. Congrats Fred you're an idiot.
@@letzrock1675 Normally I would agree with you but you can tell that the trucks were braking even before the clip started. Just Another dumb trucker on the road.
@@letzrock1675 That was the most remarkable comment you felt the need to comment on? And to finish it with name calling and judgment? Congrats Letz Rock, you're as dense and dull as a rock.
@@Wailwulf Thank you for the intelligent response that did not address the specific clip in this video at all. I’d like to emphasize that this is one of the only clips in the video that did not involve a collision and it was thanks to the truck driver’s reaction instead of continuing to plow straight ahead. You have contributed nothing, thank you again.
1:10 And get out of the left lane once you're not in a position to pass in a reasonable amount of time. It won't kill you to slow a little to get behind the other driver. Doesn't mean the guy in the black SUV wasn't an idiot -- he is.
No, stay in the left lane so black SUV driver learns their lesson.
There were 2 other vehicles in the lane to the right that you can't see on camera
@@bradleysmessenger thats not an excuse, to not pass in the left lane, or to occupy it
He did that on purpose. His speed goes from 65 to 70 to block the SUV, then he goes back to 65 to match the other truck speed. Total jerk
I love watching the guy at 4:38. He has yet to replace his right mirror and is usually the cause of poor driving. I suspect he cut off the guy that passed on the shoulder
Because that's the only right-side mirror on the vehicle, right?
@@fyrbyrd71 Probably not, but this guy's been missing his mirror for like half a year. His videos are always him blocking the left lane, undertaking and cutting people off. He 100% caused this on purpose as well.
@@dmdwst8787 One should have proof before making claims that another is 100% guilty.
4:48 "Shoulder is not a lane" Yeah, nice how that missing mirror of yours is making it a little bit less obvious that you probably cut him off if not ran him off the road completely.
Because that's the only right-side mirror on the vehicle, right?
@@fyrbyrd71 Only one that would show the dashcam whether he cut them off/ran them off the road.
I was just going to post that it looked like he cut him off.
He had NO RIGHT to bitch since he has NO right mirror!
Someone needs a new hood-mounted mirror
3:12 That trucker is legend. Not everybody stops to hand over dashcam footage. I'm sure the victim was very grateful.

4:39 The shoulder isn't a lane, true... *but sometimes it can save your life when a truck turns into your lane like this,* I guess?
Then the same guy does *the same thing* at 4:50?! Why?! Please try to avoid merging like this; trust me, most truck drivers do NOT behave this way.
I was thinking the same thing. The shoulder might not be a lane but when you get driven off the road, it will save your life. Also, where's your right side mirror at dude?
Maybe he should replace his missing mirror? ;)
The lane change at 4:50 was necessary because the lane was running out but I do agree with you on 4:39
@@NK029 Yeah, I noticed the missing right mirror too! Might explain why he thinks it's the other guy's fault in THIS case (albeit not the following clip, though).
@@knightwing4 I know what you mean, albeit again that's ONLY a problem because the cammer didn't merge sooner; not sure why he waited, or why he didn't slow when merging into the lane occupied by the car outright.
4:42 - Looks like you cut off the car, he/she was side by side of your cab when you completed the lane change. Try using mirrors next time "professional" driver.
He would, but as his channel shows, he's been without the mirror on that side for the past six months. Apparently he's deemed it a luxury rather than a necessity, and is content with forcing people onto the shoulder so that he'll have a clip to upload to his CZcams channel.
@@LeoA2600 Yup, same guy that complains about other drivers in one breath and then posts video of him pulling out in front of someone ("I didn't even see ya!") in the next. Eager to post.
@@LeoA2600 these are the drivers that need to be ripped from their CDL. They think CDL > regular license owners 100%. Every single time. Well I have my pilots license and I can promise you my situational awareness is 10x higher than this dumbass who runs people off the road. 3D “driving” is harder than 2D.
Have you ever seen those asshats who speed on the right?
@@asphaltmilkshake4596 also happy to dribble along in the left lane blocking the highway, trying to overtake another truck that he has no chance of overtaking and then getting righteous when he gets undertaken. I suspect this guy is a giant loser, overly convinced of his own infallibility.
3:20 I understand the truck drivers frustration there. The pickup pulling that Rec trailer was probably hogging the passing lane while driving slow.
Yeah, but sideswiping him and running him off the road isn't the way to deal with it.
That's criminal intent. He should lose his CDL for that.
@@zocca0134 You're wrong, that is a way to deal with it. Now, if it's the right way or the wrong way can only be determined by a court of law if he's even caught.
@@holocaust_2.0 If you want to control traffic you go to trooper school after law school. Otherwise stay in your lane.
@@holocaust_2.0 No, he's not wrong. He said it wasn't THE way to deal with it, he never claimed it wasn't A way to deal with it. So, his statement is 100% correct.

@@Swissmgs Are you literally shilling another channel in the comment section?
Check his channel. He's been uploading clips for six months now without that mirror. He's aware and either doesn't care that it's limiting his ability to monitor his blind spot, or is simply too ignorant to even realize that he has an issue that requires fixing.
@@LeoA2600 possibly too cheap to fix it? I personally wouldn't drive without it, when I've had to drive trucks without the hood mirrors I always feel blinded.
@@willdrivesu7914 is it not required equipment?
#10"the unexplained" I'm not entirely convinced you didn't force him over there when you changed into the righthand lane?!?!?!
With no right side mirror it's really hard to say one way or the other.
@@alexwalker2582 agreed but still doesn’t deserve to be on this video
yeah im certain he pushed him off the road.
@@alexwalker2582 You do realize that the missing mirror was originally designed and placed there to see in front of the truck to prevent people from getting run over in the front blind spot? On the door there are at least 2 other mirrors for seeing the rear and side view. I know that in the videos it looks like you can see a lot in that small mirror, actually it is practically useless to see on the side while driving.
6:06 Cammer: "Stupid people!"
Next clip, same cammer: "sorry *for doing exactly what the drivers I called 'stupid' did..."*
@@jeremyhubbard2908 I thought the same thing! Maybe he learned from this and then had more empathy from other people doing the same thing? Hopefully instead fewer people do it outright, but still.
4:57 When distracted/clueless drivers meet entitled/lane splitting law abusing bikers lol
you nailed it....will save my comment for another biker tool
Bikers, dumb, like always..
Were you surprised when a young woman stepped out of the car? I wasn't...
They were both at fault. I wonder how the cops handled it.

4:38-end I wonder if Santa brought him a new right-side mirror. He wouldn't get so may surprises from that side if ha done.
Because that's the only right-side mirror on the vehicle, right?
4:57 Two vehicles colliding on the gore point. Priceless. I can't believe the trucker didn't know that they were both wrong.
@Frankie Bleddyn the only state that allows splitting is California and thats not a lane he was in the gore point/shoulder
I'd think it fairly obvious that "splitting" requires 2, and an empty turning lane/exit doesn't count.
Good drivers sometimes miss their exits. Bad drivers never do.
6:52 i mean, I wouldn’t really consider that karma at it’s finest. He was just speeding and got pulled over.
That was in Yuma AZ where I live, im lucky I haven't been pulled over😅
Yeah, just speeding is hardly all that bad on its own merit, compared to all the other dangerous and reckless shit drivers could be doing on the road.
I don’t know how many videos I’ve see where the truckers are talking about doing a zipper merge, getting pissed when people won’t let them and blah blah blah but the very first video is someone doing a zipper merge on the trucker and he’s all pissed about it….wow
Trucker didn't get cut off. He was coming up to a place he had to stop and he had plenty of room to slow down. He acts like a third grader. "Hey, no cutting in line!"
@@tclem44 jumping in front of a semi just before stopped traffic is an easy way to get your vehicle folded into a taco, with you as the gooey meat leaking out of it. Saw something like this happen, where a car just had to get in front of the truck, only there wasn't room, which the car driver didn't know until it was too late. End result was a family of 4 losing their lives. All for the sake of a few seconds. Better to get home a little later, than not at all. Drive safe!
What many 4-wheelers fail to realize is the big-rig driver cannot see what we can see in the camera. It's a phenomenon called "blind spots".
@@fyrbyrd71 how does this relate to anything about my comment? The comment is about zipper merging not blind spots, let’s try to stay on subject
@@TheTheRanger1 Another "zipper-merges" in one's blind spot and one gets this(video)!! The subject matter is a direct objective reference. Unless one fails to be informed by the obvious reference material. Still have a problem with my objective "subject" detail?
6:35 Good driver, actually apologises for doing the thing
At the 1:38 mark, when he starts his maneuver, he flashes you to warn you of his action, and you are 180 to 200 meters away (600 to 650 feet).
At 2:04 you are travelling at 58 KMH, but once the FedEx shows intentions to merge in, you speed up to 66KMH. The speed limit is 50 KMH, _it even says so_ at the 2:14 mark
You know what it is like to drive a big rig and how a little bit of courtesy from others can make your life easier. You could have done the same . If you enjoy/appreciate when someone gives you the courtesy to maneuver, you should return it in kind.
If not just show what a jerk you are. So much for showing anyone how wrong they are, by being just as wrong.
in addition to speeding... he neglects to point out that he crossed the solid line to pass the truck.... just to show him? I think the issue is that the industry is so short of drivers that they don't worry too much about who they have driving for them.
Interesting you picked up on the railroad tracks / distance, and later the driver felt it necessary to speed up, cross a solid line just to "teach someone a lesson".. good observations. A friend of mine quit driving not too long ago because as he put it: "the four-wheelers have gotten worse, but half the truck drivers out there are also angry insane people". Really a shame, I feel for a lot of the decent drivers out there and what they must put up with. Not an easy job.
Second vid, why didn't the trucker brake earlier? 🤔
Netflix is the answer, probably.
2:12 I don’t think you’re legally allowed to pass on a solid line
3:20 while trying to push the car with the trailer off the road was absolutely not justified in this case...... GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE LEFT LANE IF YOURE GOING SLOWER THAN THE REST OF TRAFFIC!!!!!
I've always learned that if you pull in front of a semi with a load you want to be that full semis length away when you get in that lane
2: Semi driver needs some driving lessons. He cut down your side but you shouldn't be in the left lane if you're just gonna cruise next to the right lane traffic and not pass anyone.
That was clip 3, but you are 100% correct, he went to block and camped the left lane just cause he didn't want the car in front of him
agreed: It was the opposite of what a professional should do: de-escalate.
but he was going at least half a mile per hour faster so in his mind he was overtaking
Did you not see it was 3 lanes going down to 2? And pulling a hill in Tennessee. Don't pretend to know, you weren't there.
@@bradleysmessenger I saw all of it, I drive a semi. He insinuated the brake check by blocking the guy in. Guy ram down the side of the truck but a professional is supposed to de-escalates a situation.
Don’t pretend you know what you’re talking about, because you don’t.
3:42
There was enough room for that trucker to make it, but of course the LLH decides now would be a good time to speed up to close the gap. Deserved every bit of what he got!
@ 1:00 i thought the speed limit was 55 mph... you going 70 mph smh
he was doing 65 before he went up to 70 to block the guy, then back to 65 to match the other truck speed. A55hole with a dashcam...
I like the blue truck honking at everybody with even a tiny mistake, then pulls out in front of somebody. He should have honked at himself there.
This is one of the MANY reasons I don't drive big rigs anymore. I saw a lot of video's here where the Trucker was the idiot. And it's true. A high percentage of them shouldn't be behind the wheel of a big rig. They follow too close, speed up when someone is trying to pass, drive aggressively etc. I personally have had them speed up to keep Me from passing on a 2 lane road to keep you in oncoming traffic lane which could end up in a head-on collision. Most are A Holes and Mental cases. I have even had one nut road rage on Me then call the company saying I did it. Didn't have dash cam, I wish I had though. But I will never drive them anymore.. BTW, I have about 1.3 Million safe miles behind the wheel of those trucks with several safe driving awards.. I won't lie though, I miss it sometimes until I watch these videos, then not so much..
1:03 no reason to brake check - definitely road rage. But also, shame on the truck driver for occupying the fast lane knowing he has no intention of passing the semi occupying the slow lane.
The responsible, polite, and in many states the legal obligation is for the semi to slow down and get back in the right lane.
Yeah both bad drivers. It's very annoying when you have two trucks occupying two lanes and blocking the left lane traffic.
Videos like today's, make me glad that I have a dashcam and that I have always had a respect for big-rigs and for motorcycles on the road near me.
These videos should be required viewing in school for drivers learning and trying to get their license.
But for the motorcycle, and the car that cut it's path, well, both did illegal moves...!

Honestly, I wish all vehicles had camera's in them with all the dishonest people out there, who will cause accidents and try to blame the victims.
"If I get out on you, I'm gonna F you up"! Um, your already out... and walking away, there tough guy!
That laugh of the trucker when the karma cop came was funny af 🤣
3:20 I hear a lot of people saying the RV deserved to be run off the road. That's not right. You want to murder somebody do it to a drug dealer. It's not that truckers right to kill somebody because he don't like him. Otherwise if he didn't see that big 'ol RV he definitely wasn't paying attention. I hope it's worth waiting tables now.
you realize that most of the drug addiction in this country is to prescription pills right? so you are advocating killing people like Fauchi and the Execs at Bayer.
@@Burger_pants well I wasn't but now that you mention those names, yeah, kill them too.
@@Burger_pants It's called karma.
Ahhh, reasons I don’t miss driving a big truck…
Be safe and keep the rubber side down!
Love watching these compilations, they are great for killing time 😂😂
I've been doing a lot of interstate driving over the last 4mos and I've discovered that today's truck drivers are the most dangerous menace on the road. It didn't use to be like that.
Truck drivers used to be paid a lot more, and regulated better. We expect people to drive huge death machines living a nasty, unhealthy life style to be paid horribly. No wonder so many semi drivers are so bad.
That's funny, because 98% of this video were clips of 4 wheeled vehicle drivers being the dangerous and stupid ones! Huh, imagine that!
@@ericpl7227 The channel owner chooses the clips to be in his videos. It doesn't change what I've observed lately.
The majority of the issues is lack of training. I don't know how the training goes with the ltl carriers, but they train. So does fed ex and ups. They tend to be some of the worse. Amazon will let anyone with a truck pull their trailers. From what I've heard the rates are so low and the appointments are so close together any trucker who isn't desperate would park before pulling one of those trailers. Next is the mega carriers. Companies like Knight, Swift, C.R. England, Werner, Western Express, and Schneider to name a few. They just want buts in seats and will take pretty much anyone and train them. Plus their trainers generally have at minimum less then a year of experience. The company I went to only requires 6 months with a clean record. And finally you have foreigners driving for Canadian carriers who have no idea how our laws work or how to drive on our roads. Improper training and a minor knowledge of English is the biggest deficiency I've noticed here on the road.
@Frankie Bleddyn I don't know about now, but I know logging trucks in Oregon were dangerous as hell. We got run off the road by one in an alleged state park that was really controlled by loggers.
5:05 that car driving illegally and dangerously in the filter lane hatched markings HIT the motorcyclist driving illegally and dangerously in the filter lane hatched markings. Are they both equally to blame?
In a world of common sense, yes. But most of Murika is lacking common sense, reason, and logic. We don't know if the car was cited but I'd bet the biker was.
2:38 Attempted suicide. Cutting off a truck by pulling out in front of him is one thing. Then panicking and stopping in front of him instead of accelerating through is a whole new level of dumb.
3:37 Guy pulling the camper got what he was asking for. He's clearly holding up the left lane intentionally, despite having zero reason to be in it. When the truck is visibly about to make the pass, the idiot pulling the camper speeds up.
No one deserves to potentially be in a dangerous car crash. Flash of lights to let him know he needs to get out of the left lane, sure, but let's maybe stop wishing harm on others. That's just messed up.
Good for you for caring enough to stop and do the right thing. You saved that little truck/car a huge headache.!
@ 4:47, both this clip and the next look like you cut the cars off. The next one I can tell for sure that’s what happened. How about you fix your mirrors, both figuratively and literally
Glad that 6:30 had a happy ending :)
Truckers complaining about truckers hogging the road and feeling superior is ironic as a passenger car driver.
The last video thou🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that went back to his truck real quick🤣🤣🤣
I've always had respect for truckers for doing what they do; helping to provide for Americans by transporting products and food. After watching this video, my respect for them has shot up just a little bit more, not really realizing all of the bullshit that they have to put up with by asshole drivers. God bless you truckers! Thank you for what you do for us.
5:11 is exactly why you don’t cut across 2 lanes to make it to your exit!
And why you don't illegally drive on the shoulder. Also, why did the trucker think that's lane splitting? Lane splittung involves 2 lanes. Last I checked, the shoulder isn't a lane.
Hmm. He signaled for a long time and the trucker was being a jerk and not letting the car over. The motorcycle was illegally driving on the shoulder.
@@MomentsInTrading From what it looks like the biker was lane splitting until the person pulled out in front of him.
@@MomentsInTrading Doesn't matter how long you have your blinker on. You don't cross 2 lanes of highway at the start of the double white lines that you can't legally cross anyway.. 4:58. The exit opportunity is over and they are just now merging into the center lane let alone the semi's lane. Trucker didn't block them in at any point.
Thank you guys for all that you do, and deal with. Remember, nothing can ruin your day like people.
I thought alot of these were from the same truck but then realized they just don't have a passenger side view mirror lol.
1:40 that's called a tow truck, mr semi! And the flashing headlights are part of his warning light package. I bet if you'd paid attention before, you'd have seen them flashing when he was turning into the lot. Note also the pickup behind him, is their safety car, and the headlights are flashing just like that. Also, they had just gone across a railroad crossing, and you don't stop on a railroad crossing. EVER!
ok?? it was still totally unnecessary what he did blocking the oncoming lane for a turn in that was a mile wide. that tow truck driver obviously sucks at driving...
@@DonC23 ok karen
@@DonC23 ever try turning a 3 axle tow truck with a 24ft straight job hanging on the back? Ever watch a semi with a 53ft trailer make a right turn? Try again, Scooter
1:32 I do have sympathy with the driver of the wrecker towing a truck. If he had waited, he would have blocked the railroad crossing - bad idea. And with the boom extended, he would have come to the other side of the road as well.
Good point.
he could have pulled off the road a little more briskly, but yeah, he needed the clearance to make the turn.
@@kenbrown2808 No he didn't, that's plenty wide to pull in, when we set up our driving lanes when testing students with a 53 foot trailer, the entrance lanes don't give you that much room, and you need a lot more radius with a trailer than with that rig. He either needs to learn how to drive or find another profession.
@@rooh5825 yes, because a heavy wrecker with a truck on the stinger tracks EXACTLY like a truck with a trailer on the fifth wheel does.
@@rooh5825 Or better yet, FLASHING YELLOW LIGHTS MEAN SLOW DOWN AND MOVE OVER! Tow trucks DO NOT react the same way as towing a trailer. Our booms are rigid, long, and dont have a radius to turn for about 6-10 feet depending on the vehicle being towed. Many county and state laws state that tow trucks have the right of way when lights are flashing. Even more so in counties where they are in fact first responder vehicles. Meaning you must yield to them just like you would for police, fire, EMS.
love these daily videos when at work lol
Still lovin the dukes of Hazzard style narration at the end. Happy Holidays
While not the best move, I kind of think the guy at 1:33 was preventing the truck behind him from passing because that truck looked immensely impatient and probably would have crashed into the oncoming semi hard.
@Frankie Bleddyn Maybe, maybe not... but that wide turn was most likely because the towed truck was on both axles and it's a long wheelbase. Turn right and he could literally rip the tires up dragging them sideways.
If you will notice in the video he pick up behind the tow truck had flashing lights period that is a safety truck for the tow truck driver so that people behind them know something else is going on
1:15 there was no need for the trucker to even get over. Leave your ego at home.
Oh, I recognize #7. That's route 9 south in Old Bridge, NJ. The Lukoil gas station's name stuck out to me after reviewing it again. The tree line was actually what made me go "Wait just a minute, I think I know this area!" Hah!
1:20 be like “hurr derr, trucks can stop just as fast as cars can”
I wouldn't call the first clip "cutting off" a semi. Consider how long a semi pulling a trailer is, it's either step on the gas a bit to get in front or get ran into the jersey barriers when that lane is ending.
Or maybe, don't camp on the right of the semi?
@@realulli, we have absolutely zero idea how many cars were behind the semi or the other car.
6:50 how is that karma?
doesn't seem like they're going that fast either
When you get out of the truck and they run. 🤣
Gotta say I am impressed on how good rig breaks are now.
*brakes
Yeah, they don't even have to stop for coffee.
@3:14 Dude's a hero. What I've always wanted to do to left lane campers.
Dudes a menace. Purposely trying to case a crash is a mence or a horrible truck driver. Either way he should be removed from the road
@@johnh6345 Nah man, he gud!
That trucker around 2:05 passing the FedEx truck that pulled out in front of them on the left did so over a solid yellow with adjacent driveways (which is likely the reason why it's a solid yellow), into potentially oncoming traffic. Absolute bonehead move, because once you've committed to that on a two-lane road, you don't have anywhere to go if there's traffic you didn't see. What if someone you didn't see had pulled out of a driveway headed in the opposite direction? Idiot. Put your ego aside and just slow down. Sure, he could've waited, but what you did was infinitely more stupid.
At 6:00, "hope they crash one day" Really? You're wishing potential death upon fellow humans? On what appears to not even be public road no less, but instead a private company driveway/entrance... Sure, that Civic was an idiot going around you on the wrong side, but seriously, get over yourself and seek help. Wishing harm to others because of something that merely delayed you... You're part of what's wrong with with the world. That's like you butting in line at a grocery store and me saying "I hope you trip down the stairs tomorrow morning" knowing full well that you could easily break your neck or die doing so. That's NOT ok.
at 2:05, the trucker was going 58 KMH and speeds up to 66 KMH, and at the 2:14 mark, one can clearly see the max speed limit is 50 KMH. That trucker is driving just like all the drivers that annoy him.
Amen brother I'm a driver myself in the last 2-0 does not need to be driving. That was way too many close calls
Potential death? My, how dramatic. I suppose if I told someone "just walk away" I'm wishing death upon them because people slip and fall to their death every day while walking
@@70baja The cammer himself is hoping others would crash, which yes, is wishing potential death upon others. But dramatic in the way the OP used 'potential death,' nope.
Dramatic would be turning your quote ("just walk away") into a quote from Mad Max 2 : Road Warrior. Oh wait, we can.
*Lord Humungous:* "_Just walk away,_ and I spare you lives."
I watched a new semi driver from sysco drop off some stuff for the resturant I work at. He pulled the back bumper off a car when he was attempting to get out of a tiny ass parking lot. For about an hour the dude was in tears because he was afraid he was going to lose his job after just getting it. Wont know if he was fired or not until next week.
The toughest guys always have a secret special place where they do all their ass kicking.
4:40, you ran them out of their lane... typical truck driver behavior when you pull into a lane where a car is approaching going much faster. And you don't have a right front mirror. You deserved a break check or 10.
Because that's the only right-side mirror on the vehicle and the car was doing the speed limit, right?
@@fyrbyrd71 you are probably one of those people who sit in the left lane going the speed limit to prevent people from passing. speed is irrelevant in this situation, if the truck driver had checked any other mirror he would have seen the vehicle approaching. or he checked and didn't care. either way, truck driver 100% at fault.
@@instacat1112 Probably I am, probably I'm not. You'll never know. But I'll tell you I drive defensively leaving you immature's behind. Speed is always relevant when 2, 3, 5, even 40ton vehicles are traveling near others. Don't be coy, child. Did you watch a different video that showed the truck's passenger door mirrors with the car or a rear-facing camera? Didn't think so. This means you discredited yourself for the remainder of any contact with me. Good day
@@fyrbyrd71 I'll take baseless assumptions and logical fallacies for $200 please, Alex!
@@instacat1112 Ditto for $1000, Dumas
1:15 I don’t think the Mazda was actually brake checking, it was the automatic emergency braking whenever it thinks the car’s going to crash. I drive a Mazda cx-9 and this has happened to me where there is a tiny space to change lanes but the car thinks ur gonna crash so it slams the brakes for u.
I sometimes drive a Subaru Forrester and it has the same type of system. I'm not sure that I like it. I think I've accidentally brake-checked people with it, too.
all the automatic gadgetry designed to stop car accidents are more dangerous than the drivers themselves. I turned all the features off in my work truck. Stupid alarms going off when you are 100 ft away from someone startle you enough to cause accidents. Some automatic braking system that has no idea of the nuance of why you are doing something is terrifyingly dangerous. Give it 50 years and you will not be allowed to control your own vehicle because 'not safe to trust human judgement'
My car has that too. Thankfully I can disable it with a push of a button and I always do.
3:06 bye bye trucking license
I'm just glad truckers have cameras.
You guys have one of the toughest jobs around.
People forget that it's because of you that stores have what we need
Everyone can drive, vote, and reproduce. At least a few of those need to be more regulated.
Unfortunately there is an abundance of people that are utterly irresponsible at all three yet they are still allowed to do so.
Today on overly dramatic Truckers.
lol
You Always bring me some good content.
What happens if I don't "have a nice day", pal?
Can I go all American, and sue you?
I don't know how many states allow lane splitting. But there's a reason why it's allowed in California, it's a darling thing they want to get rid of the stupid. It is barely safe when it is done properly. I have only seen about three occasions in my lifetime where people are lane-splitting properly. Most of them in California do it much too fast.
I researched it and it's a bit vague. The law suggests you do it at slow speeds which makes sense. At high speeds it becomes Russian roulette.
Legal or not, safe or not, it's simply not lane splitting when you're not even splitting lanes in the first place. Scary this trucker is on the road unaware of basic things like the need for a passenger side mirror to check his blind spot or that highway shoulders aren't lanes for any motorized vehicles.
1:20... While brake checking psychos is not a smart move, the trucker, qas the ass here...
3:29... Vehicular Assault & Hit n Run. After jail time of at least 5 years, that trucker should have a lifetime revocation Of his CDL.
5:12... "I thought I head a strange noise under my car, so I pulled onto the Emergency Shoulder, and this illegally passing biker hit me." 😈
As a final note...remember...never brake check a tailgater...DOWNSHIFT!😈 (Then it's THEIR FAULT, and ya get a big pay day...lol)
Stupid BMW M5 F10 driver crashes nearly into a innocent driver. Somewhere in Russia 🇷🇺

That or remove the brake light fuse then quickly install it again ;-) Ha Ha.
99% of the time the one who is threatening what they will do to you, can’t even fight to begin with.
i love it!! ' what are ya gnna do to me!?...huh? what? ' dude walks off... typical mouth
2:02 Oh you poor poor baby. Far too many of your peers do this to each other and all other drivers with the cavalier attitude that we have brakes and should stop for THEM. So, in short, absolutely no sympathy for your hurt feelings. If you really want it though, sympathy can be found in the dictionary between sh!t and syphilis.
3:20 I don't think I would have shown the video, or for that matter even said anything. Left lane hog was so intent on blocking the trucker that he wouldn't even let up on the gas pedal. He stayed in it until he almost crashed, I feel bad for the driver and understand his frustration with camperman. Too bad the cammer didn't let the fu***r learn a lesson.
"I'm sorry" goes a long way.
I enjoy watching the videos. Us Trucker’s have to deal with idiots on the road everyday…
3:30, just call it a wash, get what you deserve for clogging up the road. Pile of dirt in the left lane should have received a ticket for disrupting the flow of traffic like it deserved.
I just love it when I get the notification that says "Someone has liked your comment" or "Someone has subscribed!" It really makes my day😀.!
How do you get notified someone's liked a comment?
Don’t you love those guys that say “I’ll mess you up” then when you get out of your truck, they start walking away backwards. Like crabs 🦀 in the send. 😝
I was a road technician. I spent countless hours on the road. I always worked with drivers and tried to help them any way I could. I’m so glad they have dash cams to protect themselves now because people are idiots!
I been driving a big truck 22 years…..TOOT TOOT! Camera and convex drivers best friend😎
7:50 - that whole interaction is what 90% of truckers are like.
I used to tow a small camper with a Datsun, and I watched out for truck traffic, moved left to let them pick up some speed on the downhill so they could get up the next one. They would signal me when it was ok to pull back in, then I would signal thanks, no drama, brake checking or other B's. Makes for a pleasant drive.
This guy somehow finds thirty minutes worth of videos each day and edits them. Cheers m8
the second half of the video looked like it was all clips from the same truck.
