Redneck road rage. 6 million views
#61
All I see in this video are 2 rednecks, that can't cooperate on the road. One can't control his temper and his car, while the other one won't loose pride and triggered an situation, filmed it vertically with her cell phone and laughed like a redneck about the other rednecks mishap.

Hang out in WI for a while, people LIVE in the left lane... won't move for anything, even emergency vehicles, see it all the time... EXCEPTION... suddenly darting across three lanes cuz synapses of the brain hit and they realized they were at their exit, almost causing further accidents
VOTE- that being said, dude was a douche and at fault... looks like modified or stealth Raptor (exposing he doesn't know the laws of physics and front-loaded weight when performing sharp maneuvers)... she was passing cars, she had a turn coming and she did stop afterwards... however, shooting it on her phone, another matter for law enforcement...

And the only reason the women was not charge I believe is because thanks to her video they were able to identify him and make him responsible to pay the damages the county would have had to pay otherwise,

Ahh, another of those people who don't take responsibility for their own actions. That is the problem with society today, it is always someone else's fault. He could have chosen to ignore her and he would not have smashed up his truck.[/QUOTE]
You misunderstood my difusing statement. Once road rage begins, it's a dangerous situation. The idea, and any official will tell you, is to difuse the situation. She egged him on by remaning in her lane and filming. That in turn made the problem escalate. She may have been original cause of the entire thing, but she was handily responsible for making it worse with her actions. That is where she failed. Then the other guy got what he deserved with the crash.

Personally I think she purposely wanted to start trouble. As C mentioned she was expecting trouble. Perhaps she wanted to drive slow in the left lane and record peoples reaction. Just my 2 cents. Could be wrong though.

you're not wrong. throughout the video the truck wasn't tailgating her at all. it was a good half a car length between the two vehicle at any point of the video before the truck decided to past the car. imo, tailgating means right on your rear bumper and/or with high beam flashing. i didn't see neither of those in the video. i agree, the lady wanted to shoot some video so she can post on youtube and ended up caused some guy a lot of $$$ or even trouble with law.

Second action is him passing her. Notice that he pass her and he just look at her for a second but was not aggressive... but here is what generates the conflict.. as he pass her SHE STARTS ACCELERATING (min 1:10) so he doesn't go in front of her.. This is the point when he got pissed and show her the finger and accelerate really hard and lose the control.
I think the B%$# was looking for this and clearly generate the conflict.

What he was doing absolutely was tailgating.
For someone to imply that a "good half a car length" is sufficient a gap for vehicles in motion and thus too big a gap to considered tailgating is just ludicrous.

But if you have ever driven in the D.C. area, SoCal/L.A., or in and around a number of other large cities, there is simply so much traffic that keeping proper spacing between cars is difficult or impossible, no matter what the speed. You can't pour a gallon of traffic into a quart-sized road...the road simply can't accomodate it.

I'm with you......that's the spacing-ideal, if possible.

But obviously this guy had room.
Like I said, both drivers suck. She shouldn't be messing around with her phone like that, and he shouldn't act like a douche.
