Who was the biggest jerk in this video?

[TallBill]

Both of them. The guy recording is following way to close as well. Am I the only one that follows 2-4 seconds behind the car in front of me?

It's funny how no one notices that ALL of the drivers are tailgating. The camera truck is like 20 ft behind the other truck for the first half of the video. That truck was 20ft behind another car. People should really relax a more. there was very little traffic and everyone was going 65 MPH. back off the bumper and take a breath.

As for the question...it's the Camero driver who is at fault, though it looks to me like he might have lost traction and control which caused him to swerve back. He's very lucky to be alive, but the douche probably don't realize it.

Wat?

The Camaro driver is an idiot from the start to the end. He should lose his license for a very long time.

But the pickup truck driver is clearly at fault, as well, for his behavior. I'd expect him to be ticketed, at the least. At first, from the shadows, you can see that there's a vehicle in front of the truck, but it's long gone by the time of the accident. The pickup driver is just being a jerk at that point and keeping the car from passing.

And the guy with the dash cam? Following too closely for much of this video.

LOL

Never come to Michigan and drive. 5-10 feet at 80 MPH is perfectly normal here.

 

[JimKiler]

FL just passed a law that says indeed you may not camp out in the passing lane and block traffic, pass the vehicle next to you and continue on at speed or move over once you've made the pass. That being said the Camaro driver was driving very aggressive right from the start, I hope the DMV see's this tape and pulls his license.

Is FL going to ticket this guy. I have never heard or scene someone pulled over for impeding traffic.

 

[IGBT]

aggressive lane changing / tailgating / speeding by camaro. also numerous BOIP ( brake on in propulsion) clearly driving with one foot covering the brake while the other on the accelerator as indicated by the numerous brk light indications while speed maintaining. Both trucks appear in compliance with the speed limit.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Looks like you can add drunk to the list of issues with the Camaro driver.

Perfect.

Truck driver needs to grow up.

Camaro driver needs to stick to public transportation.

Pretty much this.

State Police charged the driver of the Camaro, 32-year-old Kiran Thapa of Columbus, Ohio with aggravated DWI. Troopers say his BAC was .19 percent.

Thapa is also facing multiple traffic infractions and first degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.

 

[KLin]

.19 whoa. No driver's license either lol

 

[rudeguy]

.19 whoa. No driver's license either lol

.19 is rookie shit.

He can call me when he joins the .30 club

 

[Possessed Freak]

100% Bush's fault.

[MrPickins]

I feel sorry for the driver of the big rig. It looks like he tried slowing down at least once to get himself out of the situation the other 2 guys put him in, but the pickup slowed as well to match speed.

 

[Anubis]

90% of the semi-trucks on our major highway here pass like that (barely going 1-2 km/h faster than the one they are overtaking)

reason for that is some of them are not allowed to go much faster, either by governor or a recording system that gets the drivers in trouble if they go over a certain speed

a friend of mine drives one, they are limited to 68 MPH by the company he drives for

as for the video (ignoring the fact that we know the dude was drunk) when it started the truck was passing the semis but was limited by the truck in front of him (you can see the shadow) so to all those saying he should not have been in the passing lane you are wrong

after that they were both being stupid but the Camaro guy more so

 

[slayer202]

Both acted like babies. After the kid in thepickup break checked the kid in the camero, that should have been the end of it. Pickup had to prove he's just as retarded and immature by blocking the lane.

Camero is obviously at fault for making a very dangerous maneuver, but pickup is a dick, no question about it.

this

 

[master_shake_]

since you're not supposed to be driving in the left lane unless passing the truck is at fault, until the camaro hit him.

 

[96Firebird]

Before everyone posted a link as to where it happened, I thought the area looked familiar. But then I saw the date, and figured there would be snow on the ground if it was January 9th, but then saw the time and figured the date was wrong as well. So I went to Google Maps Street View and confirmed that it was I-90 between Rochester and Buffalo...

Either way, I thought the Camaro had Ontario plates. Turns out he was from Ohio. You get a pass Canadians, this time. :hmm:

Yep, which is why regardless of how bad the camaro guy was pickup dude was going to match him.

pffft!

a canadian with a .19 BAC could fly the space shuttle through the eye of a sewing needle.

But srsly, what is aggravated unlicensed driving?

Also, I love threads like these because they let me know which people on AT I would actually hate in real life.

The pickup driver was using the truck as a roadblock, because it's a competition to see who wins. On the other hand, if the drunk in the Camaro had successfully passed the first obstacle who knows what mayhem and tragedy he may have caused further up the road.

ag·gra·vat·ed
ˈaɡrəˌvātid/
adjective
adjective: aggravated

1. (of an offense) made more serious by attendant circumstances (such as frame of mind).
   "aggravated burglary"
   
   
   • (of a penalty) made more severe in recognition of the seriousness of an offense.
     "aggravated damages"
     
     
   
   
   
   

makes it sound worse.

But srsly, what is aggravated unlicensed driving?

Driving with a revoked license, vs. not having a current license (expired, etc.). I think here in Colorado, you're arrested immediately for it, no matter what you're pulled over for.
