Default Road Rage Oops




The video shows a tailgating driver pull up alongside a female driver’s vehicle and give her the middle finger while cruising in Tampa.


"I couldn't move over because there were trucks in the right lane, and I sure as heck wasn't going to speed on a rainy day with the roads being as slick as they were," the anonymous poster wrote.

Seconds later, the truck spins out and goes flying across U.S. Highway 41 before slamming into a pole.

There was plenty of room for her to move over and out of the way. I wonder what happened to make her want to pull the camera out and start recording?

I'm not condoning what he did, because he was an absolute ****, but if she's found time to get her phone out and start recording there was probably more to this story.

It's amazing how many folks think it is ok just to always drive in the left lane. If someone had been tailgating me like that I would just pull over and let him go on by. However it is always good to see an a## like that get his just rewards.

Well, his little show of the finger hanging out his door and his stupidity cost him his truck. On the other hand, filming a truck behind you plugging the left lane was just as stupid, and that wasn't tailgating...he moved up and backed off, giving her plenty of time to move over. Two stupid drivers.

It does appear that she was provoking him.

Yea.... Like why the narrow field of view on the camera? Show me the traffic on the right.

Just a case of beech meets acehole. She wanted to drive her speed wherever she felt like it while he wanted to go faster and chose the d!ck route of going around her. He got what he deserved, she could use a lesson in road respect....

That was aired on the news the other night. They interviewed her after her video had some unbelievable amount of hits. If she was doing anything wrong, she was discourtesy in the left lane.

In MI left lane not in the act of passing IS a ticket.

"I couldn't move over because there were trucks in the right lane, and I sure as heck wasn't going to speed on a rainy day with the roads being as slick as they were," the anonymous poster wrote.

But the roads were good enough to be video taping with a cell phone instead of watching the road? Obviously not. The video shows that she had plenty of opportunity to get out of the "passing lane" (it is still called that!) but rather than driving responsibly, she was playing with her video recorder and trying to provoke a road rage situation. Karma would have been balanced if both vehicles were wrecked.
