If I had a rear facing camera you would have seen me with a shit eating grin watching a fantasy unfold. Unfortunately she drove off unscathed.

i find it ironic after all that it looks like the speed she wanted to drive is about .001 mph faster than you were going.
JColeTheWheelMan@reddit (OP)
Yeah and that was after 20 minutes being feet from my bumper. She wasn't in a hurry, just another low iq emotional driver.

I don't understand what brake checking an 80k pound vehicle proves or accomplishes.
JColeTheWheelMan@reddit (OP)
80k pounds ? This isn't some American novelty item truck.

If you do it right it makes them spill their piss jug.
Successful-Worth-390@reddit
Jokes on you. I set my cruise control and piss on the cars passing me.

Well she won't do that again. I would been laughing so hard watching that in real time.

I wish there was a way to report drivers to a database of some kind where (as long as you have dash cam footage) you send in things like this and it goes to their insurance company, it’s easy to snap a picture of a semi and report them to the company why can’t we have something similar.
Yes I know non emergency lines exist but we know it doesn’t take long to get far or take a ramp and disappear.

Over in the UK, from my understanding, you can submit footage of people doing dumb shit to the police, and as long as the footage checks all the necessary boxes, the driver gets a citation in the mail. I'd bet the cost of hiring a couple desk officers to review footage and send tickets would pay itself off pretty quickly.

This might be the answer. The insurance companies would love any excuse to jack up rates, so you send them proof of a driver being stupid and next month instead of a ticket in the mail, they get higher insurance premiums. I'm not sure if would deter that much aggressive/stupid driving, but it would feel good to know that the driver is going to pay for it in the end.

Ah, America. Home of the people who REALLY should not have a licence.
JColeTheWheelMan@reddit (OP)
This anywhere near America.

Had a guy in a pickup truck pass me on a road like this today and aggressively point to the right as if telling me I’m supposed to move over to let him pass. I’m not obligated to move over for anyone, but I’ll move over for trucks with trailers because we actually could use the extra help, or any other bigger vehicles that have a hard time accelerating, 4 wheelers have more than enough power to get around quickly unless they’re hauling something. Only time I move for 4 wheelers is if I have at least 3 behind me or there’s a truck behind them, otherwise they need to grow a pair and floor it.
MoistDevelopment@reddit
All that, to take a right in 2 miles

Had this happen to me up in Washington yesterday during their early morning traffic almost immediately after a highway patrol flys past me and pulls them over
Captain_Wag@reddit
Lucky for him he doesn't know how to drive. Otherwise he'd probably be dead right now.
SomeDude249@reddit
Good thing she is really bad at swerving and brake checking
Mongobuzz@reddit
Imagine being that fucking insane and stupid.
Snowman680@reddit
I'm absolutely devastated she didn't totally biff it.
JankyMark@reddit
Another 4 wheeler dummy

Well except for her drawers.
