Big truck road rage

NOTE : THIS IS NOT ME FILMING OR INVOLVED, VIDEO POSTED ON FB!!!

So we all talk about what we would like to do to slow drivers not driving in the right lane but insteI want fees to go uping traffic. When trucks are restricted to the right lanes a truck like this can be frustrating. Now even though the thought has crossed my mind before I would never act out on those thoughts. One truck driver decided to go ahead and act out teaching a driver whos truck will only do 65 that he needs to be in the right lane.

    Most truckers are great, but I have seen lots of stupid sobs too.

    Did he teach the Warner driver a lesson, I dunno but one thing is sure. When you have several 18 wheelers running that close together, the law of "Unintended Conquinces" could have come into play and taken out some truckers and possibly some 4 wheelers that didn't have a clue as too the drama unfolding in front of them.

    I've seen crap go wrong when tempers flare and drivers that normally are careful,professional drivers get caught up in the moment and make bad decisions.

    "There are old truck drivers and there are bold truck drivers but,
    There are NO old, bold truck drivers."

    Nice to see them do it to each other instead of the rest of us.

    the guy in the white truck had no reason to do that , he had plenty of speed to get around the Werner truck , all he had to do was give his truck a little more fuel, pass and be on his way

    When I worked at the Plywood place it seemed every Werner Driver I saw was of Indian(India) decent. Spoke very little English.

    But most of them like to follow the law so would drive the speed limit.

    In GA no trucks in left lane, Werner would not move to the right lane and fella lost his temper.

    Grumpy, my boy drives for Werner, I'm just glad it wasnt him!

    That is I-75 south around exit 278. (at 19 seconds you can see the sign for Lake Allatoona) Less than 8 miles from the office....

    And yes, I see that kind of stupid crap around here all the time. One reason I really try to stick to the side roads and not get on the interstate.

    Which reminds me, I have a boar skull at the taxidermist at that exit I need to go pick up...

    Another one of those 'The law doesn't apply to me out of MY lane" types

    There is something to be said for using that center lane. I often use it in urban setting to avoid idiots who don't understand how to exit and merge in the right lane. The left lane is still open to those who have the need for speed, most often above the toleration limit for enforcement.

    I see that a lot and think its a good Idea for the trucks.

    On that stretch of 75, trucks are supposed to be in the right lane the left 2 are restricted. About a mile after that video 2 more lanes come into play trucks then have the 3 right lanes. GSP loves to site at that Glade Road exit and tag trucks for being in the wrong lane.
