This guy is one of the most polite and careful truck drivers I've ever seen. He controls his reactions, lets no anger take over and calls the police. Instant karma is well deserved.
Meanwhile my fellow Texan had to make an ass of himself for being inconvinced for a few seconds. Makes no damn sense either. Texas is so damn big we have to have patience just to get anywhere.... Yet here this guy thinks a few seconds is going to ruin his whole day.... Well in this case it did. Lol
Agreed! It's a suicide attempt. I think it's a combination of stupidity, arrogance and the sense of invincibility people often get when they're driving.
Best thing you pulled over. I gave a SD chip from my Dash cam to State Patrol and he wrote a very serious Reckless Driving ticket based on that for what they did to me.
I didn't have so much luck. I had a road rager intentionally steer into me, all caught on dash cam. Provided it to the police and they gave the driver a ticket for passing in a no passing zone. NOTHING MORE!!!
@witkr904 if audio is on, that helps too. Friend (semi driver) had a 4 camera system with audio. Cop pulled him over for being in wrong lane, and berated him when he calmly tried to explain. Ended up getting 3 tickets; illegal lane change, reckless driving and something related to attitude. Friend showed the video, with cop clearly visible on left mirror cam, and full audio in court. All tickets dismissed, cop subjected to 10 minute dressing down by Judge, a 2500 fine for writing false tickets AND a letter of reprimand sent to his supervisor. Karma! Remember, too - never argue with a cop roadside. Save it for court.
😄 I did lots of research before buying it. It’s called VIOFO A119S. Been using it for almost 2 years now, have thousands of hours of recorded video. I basically never turn it off 😂 It also has a capacitor instead of a lithium-ion battery, unlike 99% of the dashcams on the market.
@@imthatguypal_ it’s almost 2 year old dashcam and there are a lot of newer alternatives available now that support wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS and make overall better quality videos. Just make sure you also get high endurance sd card for it if you intend to keep it on 24/7 like I do.
We just hope that after 17 years of commercial driving you didn’t develop an arrogant king of the road attitude and maintained your respect towards other road users, big and small
@@JohnSmith-qp4bt trucks are King of the Road. They should maintain lane discipline and not tailgate or play games either. It’s a great responsibility to operate any equipment let alone large pieces. Hopefully you aren’t arrogant in thinking everyone should stay out of a passenger vehicles way because your Mommy told you that you were special. I hauled a lot of HazMat, like it or not, those loads do demand respect and do take priority because of the sensitive and dangerous nature.
@Jesus Gonzalez or the driver had enough space to merge in the right lane but the pickup was coming in too fast perhaps. Reason why the pickup started brake checking but if you want to argue. We need both sides then. You can't put blame all on one person and call them a hypocrite
@@soksocks there’s no excuse to brake check, the person in the pickup risked his life and whoever else was in his pickups life. Some truckers aren’t so nice and won’t slow down when people make “mistakes” like that. I’m a trucker as well
Sadly, it's also called road rage. This driver acted perfectly (although the clip didn't show to violating event). Unfortunately, they need to add an "inciting road rage" violation as in my experience, while reacting isn't usually a good thing, if the inciter hadn't been such as ass, the rage event wouldn't have happened.
@@Oops-IMeantToDoThatPeople who road rage have a problem controlling their temper. Everyone on the road drives imperfectly and there’s nothing that can change it as long as humans are humans. The one thing you can control, is your anger and irrational thinking in reaction to it. Even if the person was driving like an a hole. The appropriate response is to keep cool and move on with your life. There’s no excuse for it. But it’s the people with the attitude of “they did this to me so they deserve my fury” that shouldn’t have a license.
Just tp see their reaction when he offers up the dash cam man... and WHP doesnt fuck around with that kinda shit either 😂 probably recieved the asschewing of his life
I moved my Dad's stuff a few years back from NM to DE and had the largest Uhaul over weight I had ever drove. Truckers on every highway gave me the greatest kindness in passing and merging. The trucking community is 99% MORE friendly than the general public and enforcement regulators. At 59 I still give a hat tip to Commercial truckers. Heck without you everything falls apart.
I'd love to see that drivers reaction when he think's he coincidentally got pulled over, just to see the Semi he was brake checking pull over a few seconds later as well.
My dad was a truck driver, I give all respect to trucks on the road, let em in when no one else will, never cut them off and give them all the room they might need. A flash of the lights as thanks makes my day. Reminds me of my pops.
For regular cars, I don’t give an inch. For truckers, I let them in front of me, help them move over, and create space. I can get around them and I wanna help them. I drive in So Cal and drive the 10, 210, 60, 105, 405, 5, 57, 710, 605, 22, 15, 215, 134, 118, 170, 2, and other freeways in SoCal. Doesn’t include city streets
The difference is: they're trying to make a living out there on roads dangerous enough without stupid azzhats adding to the mix. When we were RV'ing with an International semi 450 hp ten spd towing a 20,000lb 5er RV, we were determined not to b a rolling road block for those guys out there making a living. Changed out the speed rated tires on the RV to full commercial grade tires for that reason. If you can't keep up to traffic, you're just a bothersome hazard.
@@endokrin7897 apparently you haven’t learned from past experience and still need to get lectured about how unsafe brake checks are. Road rage endangers *EVERYONE*, not just the aggressor and the victim.
@@endokrin7897 First off if you call in anyone on the road being unsafe the cops WILL intercept that vehicles. Happens a lot more than you think. Secondly, cop doesn't need to witness it when you have a dash cam video record it. Thirdly, i think you need to get out of your mother's basement and start learning about how the world works and not behind a monitor.
@@endokrin7897 If the time stamps are off maybe the truck initially cut the car off.. something more pissed the driver of the car off it seems. or it could be the car was mad the truck was going so fast. lot of idiots out there. car and truck. Good he called it in.
When a truck passes you, flash your lights to let him know it's safe to merge. When you see one turning toward the street you are driving down, stop early to give him plenty of room. Small kindnesses and respect cost nothing.
Usually you don’t see police really do anything on these calls but glad this state/county actually cares. As a driver that’s exactly what you do. Keep calm, no road rage and you get a happier more satisfying revenge, especially when you show the officer the video. Great job driver!!!
@Jesus Gonzalez I also noticed he didn’t leave much space when he came back over I can’t stand that I do my best to give cars n other trucks plenty of space before I get in front of them but I believe he had this guy right behind him as u know most cars just want us out of their way and are quick to jump around us maybe that’s why he changed back over right away. Courtesy goes a very long way. When u get a nice size rock chip in your windshield don’t say shit
I’d just like to say that I appreciate all the truckers out there…thank YOU for what you do. With out yous guys…we’d be dead in our tracks. Please be safe out there guys…thank YOU!!!! Kindly, Stephen
I’ll tell you what, when you are stunting around a large truck, it’s very dangerous for YOU because these trucks can be loaded with heavy supplies and cannot stop on a dime if something happens! Very stupid thing for the pickup to do!! 😡
@@edswope28 you need to look what the truck was doing. The trucker was never in the passing lane that long. That driver will get a ticket and hope it's a cost him big.
@@edswope28 it is not illegal to use your cell phone to call 911, it is also not illegal for a truck driver to use the left lane of a 2 lane interstate. Some states actually allow trucks to use the left lane with 3 or more lanes
I love having a dash cam. One of the best things I’ve bought in my entire life. On numerous occasions I’ve had people do stupid shit and then get confronted by the police about it and I just sit back and let them lie and then I produce my dash cam footage. The look on their face is priceless.
Geez Louise, dude, if you've had "numerous occasions" of people doing "stupid shit" that ended up involving the police, you're either doing something to invite the problems. . . or you sell dash cams.
27 years I was a cop in America's 6th largest city. At no time did I ever find a reason to write a trucker a ticket. That's the kind of drivers they are
I’ve seen some video of truckers doing exactly the same thing as this moron in the pickup. So I guess there are some bad truckers out there. This driver was the epitome of calm and professionalism.
Their lives are unfulfilling and hollow and the only way to feel anything is to create "a problem" with just about anyone over anything to give their day the slightest highlight.
Some people are just ignorant, dumb, or both. You guys can't stop on a dime, you need room. I always try to give truckers right of way and plenty of room. Especially when I pass them, I try to get at minimum a full 18 wheeler length between their front and my rear before moving in front of them. Lots of respect to the guys (and gals) who keep America running in the background.
You handled this situation so well. I still don’t understand why people do this. I try to distance myself from semi’s as much as I can. You are awesome and please be safe.
Took a defensive driving class not long ago,to get a speeding ticket charges dropped,teacher said he talked to many truck drivers that said they would prefer if cars would stay as far away from the as possible.He also said,a cop told him a man was killed riding beside an18 wheeler,one of the lug nuts came off ,through the man’s windshield hit him in his heart.Weird,but don’t know why the cop would lie.
Why the fuck do people even do that? I genuinely want to know what these people are thinking when they try to brake check anything on the road. I genuinely want to know why their brain cells fucking do that.
i, also, try and keep my distance from semi's, especially if they are logging trucks. with logging trucks, i prefer to be ahead of them. i'm always paranoid about the logs falling off the trailer.
I know people who despise truckers for no reason. They're usually very needy and entitled people who would starve to death within 3 days without truckers shipping their food.
My Dad drove a truck after he retired from a management job at the transportation company he worked for, for about 37 years, and the stories he told about cars playing chicken with him and the break checks, like this guy, just for fun. I always try and give truckers all the room they need, but then again. i was a truck driver's daughter!
I remember during drivers ed the teacher and the driving coach always told us to not stay next to trucks. Now days I've watch cars drive up and then once the car reaches the rear of the trailer the driver decides to stop right at the point. They speed up if the truck speeds up and slow down if the truck slows down.
@@Rhaspun I just started driving. Never was taught. I thought all of this was common sense that people gain from being cars. It really concerns me how people think it’s all fun and games.
@@Rhaspun They’re probably trying to ride the truck’s draft and improve their gas mileage. Unfortunately, you have to be driving dangerously close to get the effect, so it’s not worth it. You can’t see past the semi, and if it changes lanes or stops due to an accident or piece of debris in the road ahead, you can end up in an accident.
@@evilsharkey8954 No. The people I see slowing as soon as they get near the tail of the trailer are slowing down in the next lane. It makes no sense. They're going faster than the truck and then all of a sudden once they reach tail of the trailer they slow down to stay there.
Cant stress this enough, how important is dash cam in driving, you never know what will happen and then u will wish like "damn i wish i had a dash cam". Its a one time investment that will help you only.
The one time I had my dash cam operating I was crossing a railway crossing at low speed expecting a train at that point and the crossing had the solid line on the road for stating no overtaking andthis ergh of a driver seemed to zoom past me and I was heading home from the railway connected to the crossing. So there was the obligation to report the driver through the system in place. I've not since heard anything back about the driver but having been reported of it this was another for the crossing to get nescerary upgrade so this sort of thing shouldn't be able to happen again. If it does then the driver gets the legal stuff against them.
For someone like me who lives in a large, congested, metro area, the openness of the road in this video is stunning. I can't understand how any drivers could initiate conflict with so much space offered. I guess when people take things for granted...
I was braked checked recently in Virginia on I 81. 4 wheeler was upset that I signaled and moved into the slow lane when she decided that she wanted to pass me in that lane. She went around, pulled in front with a strong brake and the middle finger. People think we do things just to be assess, but all I did was allow her to merge onto the interstate and attempt to get back over once I passed her. Some people have very weak egos.
makes me wanna salute this truck driver .. clean smooth driving . you can hear his indicators . he is calmly and leagally going on his way hauling goods for people I know the "pickup dude" didnt like him on the left lane , but its not up to him to decide who picks what lane and its not up to him to screw around wit my fellow truck drivers !! get his license !
A lot of us don't like being behind truck drivers, and you know what we do? We wait for them to clear the lane and go on about our day, because they probably had a reason to be in the left lane. It's no excuse for hostile and malicious driving. Pickup driver decided he was better than everyone else and paid for it.
The trucker was in the left lane because he was passing. He probably moved over to pass before the pickup caught up to him. Maybe the pickup guy was pissed that he had to slow down till the semi passed. Highly unlikely that the semi moved over in front of the pickup so soon that the pickup driver got startled by being cut off by the semi. We don't get to see what was happening behind the semi when he moved into the passing lane.
A couple of weeks ago I had a 4 wheeler cut me off so close all I could see was their 3rd brake light over my hood. I blew my horn they brake checked me. I locked it down As soon as I grabbed another gear to get going again city police rolled up beside me,he saw what happened. I gave them room he lit them up. I gave the cop a 👍out the window jumped over& went on my way. That made my week.
@@BroadwayLTDProductions 99% of the time.....people in cars are in a hurry because they left late. Truck drivers are literally on a clock that doesn't stop ticking . If you slow down for every single car that is in a huge unnecessary hurry it adds a huge amount of time to his trip that he already didn't have enough time to complete
@@BroadwayLTDProductions Generally speaking if you give the truck room they will then get out of your way. After they do you can get back on the gas and make up that 10 seconds rather quickly....unless your mom's car is only a 4 banger...unlike her. 😂

Drove a 26 foot Penske straight truck with a car trailer 2500 miles across the US recently. I've got a lot of respect for you truck drivers now. Gotta deal with a lot of bullshit out there. It's got to be a hell of a job.
I’ve been there , late at night on a mountain pass and thankfully a State Trooper was monitoring the trucker channel on the C-B radio and intercepted the four-wheeler trying to stop my truck, was ever grateful to the Trooper and thankful with a great deal of newfound respect for the County and State Patrolmen who look after all of Us out there just trying to do our job on the road!!!
Reckless driving charge.... GOOD. In my province he would be charged with Stunt Driving. Impound his car and license for 7 days. Immediate cost would be 300 bucks for a tow, 300 bucks to get his license back, and 7 days of storage fees. And still the driver Must go to court where the fine is 2500 bucks and up.
@@graywolf2694 Add to that if convicted in court it is 7 driving point demerits. Fines are 2500 (first offense) to 10,000 bucks and his insurance costs will double. Stunt driving covers whole range of things; doing 50 KM (30 MPH) over the speed limit is also Stunt Driving.
@@SOPHIAFLYGIRL No. It is reckless, it is dangerous. No concern for the consequences. Could have caused an accident and injured or killed innocent people. And the driver was charged with reckless driving as shown in the video commentary.
Honestly, I would have loved to see the continuation of that from either your dash cam (very clear, btw), the officer's dashcam, or officer's bodycam. Just for the karma moment of seeing the guy get ticketed
This incident occurred on a stretch of I-80 in Wyoming between Fort Bridger and Evanton. The pick-up truck got pulled over only about 4-5 miles from the Utah-Wyoming state line. Would love to know what the pick-up truck driver thought he was doing.
Seriously, the speed limit on that stretch is at least 75 if not 80, and I don't think any trooper is going to pull you over for doing 90. Why the hell would you want to eff with a semi?
I don't know how the truck driver did not beep his horn or get angry. I think the whole video would have ended differently if he did. Loved the ending. 👍🏽❤️
Road rage exists where people are not paying attention to what they're doing they put your life at risk it doesn't matter how beautiful the scenery is if your life is at risk if you're in the most beautiful place in the world and I'm out there just taking random shots with a pistol you're going to be upset. Road rage is preventable, don't impede faster traffic.
The thing I don't understand is the semi truck driver said, and I know why he's doing it. Well, why was the pickup truck brake checking the semi? I'm still trying to figure out why people do these things. Like, what's their motivation for doing it or I don't know, are those people just insane or something?
@@TwiigssGames I'm late but the reason is that early in the video, the semi safely passed another large truck. The idiot in the pickup was inconvenienced for maybe a whopping 15 seconds while the semi passed. The pickup driver is ignorant and took it personal. This is the type of person to pass on the right which is EXTREMELY dangerous.
I'm so tired of this happening when I traveled pulling my 20' trailer. I'd never drive over 55 in right lane and cars would pull in front of me and pump brakes to slow my speed. I'd like to see an revocation of DL completely just as if they were a DUI. Too many ppl on the road are dangerous drivers behind a wheel. Good job trucker!!
I imagine it's not many people. The vast majority will have passed without an issue. But, what goes through the minds of the crazy brake-checkers, I suspect nobody knows. I wonder how many times day such a person needs to do this?
I'm pretty sure tailgating especially at high speeds is the most immature and idiotic thing a person can do on the road. Why is your time more important then everyone else's that you need to endanger other people's lives by tailgating.
Especially those idiots that decide to brake-check a semi... Hmmm.... I'm just going to be an idiot and stamp on my brakes in front of this 90 tonnes of B Dub, in my 1.5 tonne ute- 'I'm sure to come out best in any crash between us' F....g idiots- their dad should have done the world a favour and pulled out beforehand....

Dunno about the states- but here in Oz, try something stupid, and you will be guaranteed to be on camera- many trucks have 4 or more cameras covering 360 degrees these days- and you won't even know they are there- until they show up in the police report.... even my old girl has 360 coverage- hell even my ute has front and backs in it- and its a 20 year old Hilux lol- the cameras are probably worth more than it is....
This just happened to me today. A guy was merging onto the freeway and I would have gladly moved over out of his way but ther was another truck next to me in the fast lane and was unable to accommodate him. Well he got mad and came racing around in front of me yelling obscenities and slamming on his brakes. I had to really slow down quickly to avoid hitting him. And wouldn’t you know it the the next I hear is sirens behind me. The state trooper saw the whole thing and the guy was pulled over. Here’s the moral of the story, when merging on a hiway or freeway one does not have the right of way, the existing traffic has the right of way.
I’m glad you stopped & hopefully you shared the video with the cop ! Hope the driver at least got a reckless op for starters ... this 💩 getting old drivers ...
My mother always says, if they weren’t on the road the stores would be empty and I give big rigs the same courtesy as any other drivers and always keep in mind that they have blind spots to try to avoid. Thanks to all of the people who haul everything we need in our daily lives, I am sorry you have to deal with such stupidity when you are just doing your job.
Tennessee State Troopers monitor ch.19 on the cb. Twice I've reported traffic issues to other folks on ch.19 and the Troopers showed up in just a few minutes.
We have a travel trailer and I usually try to show the same respect for trucks they show each other, flash my lights indicating I will not interfere with them pulling back in when they are clear, give a quick flash to acknowledge the rare thanks and try not to hold them up when I don't go up hills as fast as they can. I regret that only about half reciprocates my attempt at respect for them. Oh well, that won't stop me, but it's disappointing. In this case you done good and I really like you stopping to enforce the complaint and hopefully convince the trooper to NOT give only a warning. There are far too many assholes who think this is fun and we RVers even experience them.
My late wife and I used to have a 27" motor home (small by today's standards) that we loved to travel in the mountains in. It had a 454 Chevy engine and it was not slow by any means if you got on it so we weren't a threat to traffic behind us that needed to get to wherever they were going. I have, on several occasions, pulled over to make sure I wasn't blocking traffic. The one thing that used to send my blood pressure through the roof were those people who came out of their mother's anal cavity at birth that would rush like mad to get around us then slow down to a crawl in areas I could not pass them in. Anyone who has ever had a motor home knows you have to build up your speed on the flat and downhill areas if you're going to make the next hill with any kind of reasonable speed. Once one of these a-holes gets in front of you the only thing left to do is just pull over and let them go harass somebody else. Far too many times I have hoped they'd pull that stunt in from of a loaded semi and hope it's brakes failed. Perfect karma but would hate it for the trucker. When we finally sold the rig I swore I would never own another one. As much fun as we had in it the IDIOTS on the road just made using it too much of a hassle, especially in Georgia and some of the other southern states.
I would’ve REALLY loved to hear this guys reasoning for brake checking the semi. If it had ANYTHING to do with that time he got in front of him to pass the other semi, he can get bent! This truck passed that truck in record timing! And even if he did do it slowly, IT’S A TRUCK, BE PATIENT!
Yeah, his behavior makes no sense? A semi can crush a pickup into a wrinkled wad. The only reason I can think of to even attempt something like that is if there is something seriously wrong with the truck, like a load coming undone or a wheel coming off, and he’s not getting the message from honking and pointing. That doesn’t appear to be the case here.
I know this is not an easy job but was imagining the freedom of the open road as I watched the beautiful blue skies, clouds, and countryside. Throw in a good sound system and I would consider.
Saw this on Asian Mai. More of this insurance scammers everyday now. Had gold car in Lubbock,TX try this on me. Glad your safe and driver got a ticket.
Thats why I keep my dash cam on at all times! It saves me from Swifts and other “professional” class A steering wheel holders when I’m parked at truck stop. It saves me from insurance scammers and mentally sick drivers like this one in the video when I’m on the road.
I drive an SUV, and cameras have covered my backside more than once. Latest incident, a sedan rear ends a pickup, and shoves it into me. The guy tried to say it wasn't his fault. One look at the rear camera footage, insurance pairs 100% for at least our two vehicles, probably all three (the at fault guy probably had full coverage/gap, or at least I hope he did since his was probably totaled).
That trucker when he came up on the other truck to pass did it seamlessly and quick, and then moved right back into the right hand lane to allow faster traffic to pass, Dude is a true professional. On the other hand the pick up driver is a douche bag, He's obviously not in a hurry cause he can play games. Good for you Truck driver dude WTG.
This semi driver has it together. He's a careful driver, remains calm and collective while calling the police, and uses his blinker when pulling over. Great job on all of the above, and hopefully the idiot driving the pickup truck learns his lesson.
I can literally see that section of interstate from my house 😂 The video started right by Bridger Valley Wyoming, about 40 miles East of the Wyoming/Utah border. Crazy crazy.
@@mr.iforgot3062 No, it's definitely a Wyoming trooper. He got pulled over right before the Wyoming/Utah boarder. Wyoming is the only state with the mostly all black and distinctive gold stripe Chargers. I mean, my uncle is also a Wyoming HP, I see one of those exact cars pretty often.
I am not sure but I think reckless driving is one of the most points intensive tickets that you can get in the pick up truck driver definitely deserved it.
I got a reckless driving charge in Alabama because I went over the center line. I faced the possibility of jail time. I ended having to hire a traffic lawyer and working 30+ hours volunteer work even before the court date just to appease the judge.
As a tiny 4 wheeler cager that loaded trucks out of Cincinnati, and worked as a courier in my own car for another 8 years, this is why I couldn't drive an 18 wheeler. I give them all the room where I can. My neighbor drove for Roadway, did 2 million miles without an accident driving mostly to Memphis and back pulling doubles. MUCH respect for the ladies and men hauling our freight!
I was traveling west of Amarillo during an ice storm a few years ago and saw a semi hit a small car (right next to me in the left lane) that was going much slower than the rest of the traffic. Everyone was creeping along at about 20-30 mph but the small car was doing about 10. I was surprised at how much damage was done to both vehicles, even at low speeds on ice. Both vehicles out of commission, semi lost its bumper, fluid going everywhere. I’d hate to see what happens at 75 mph. I also saw a car get caught between two semis when traffic backed up on an off ramp at Santa Rosa, NM. Both occupants of the car were killed. After seeing that I habitually watch my rear view mirror, ready to get off the road if a truck is coming up behind me and I think it might not be able to stop. The highway is a dangerous place.
I was a passenger in a London, double-decker, bus. The bus clipped a car as it was taking a 90 degree turn. There was no noise nor jerkiness. The driver stopped when he noticed the parked car next to him was travelling at the same speed as him. That was around four cars shunted with no effort at all.
The anal answer... The driver was WB on I-80 in SW Wyoming, approx 108 miles ENE of Salt Lake City, Utah. When the call was connected to State Patrol, (refer to video embedded time/ date stamp) he was traveling through a precise, 2 mile radius of the following Lat/Long coordinates. 41.394248 -110.187078. 🤯🤣
I am a truck driver and have had this EXACT thing happen to me several times in my career. I think I will do this the next time it happens! Fantastic to see this punk pay for that...with dash cam video as evidence!!
This guy is one of the most polite and careful truck drivers I've ever seen. He controls his reactions, lets no anger take over and calls the police. Instant karma is well deserved.
That pickup was raging so hard at being blocked for a couple seconds. Now he gets a big fat ticket.
WELL SAID MARTIN 👍, LOVE FROM JOE IN MANCHESTER, ENGLAND 🏴 😊.
I like the dashcam though where the person kept going and the tractor bumped the brake person and made them slam into a wall.
Meanwhile my fellow Texan had to make an ass of himself for being inconvinced for a few seconds. Makes no damn sense either. Texas is so damn big we have to have patience just to get anywhere.... Yet here this guy thinks a few seconds is going to ruin his whole day.... Well in this case it did. Lol
Your profile pic is my childhood hero.
Brake checking a semi in anything other than a tank seems darwinian
Agreed! It's a suicide attempt. I think it's a combination of stupidity, arrogance and the sense of invincibility people often get when they're driving.
Exactly!
Then the trucker just speeds up and deletes the pickup in front of him

Good old Wyoming Love living there minus the fact that it snows in may
Best thing you pulled over. I gave a SD chip from my Dash cam to State Patrol and he wrote a very serious Reckless Driving ticket based on that for what they did to me.
What did the nutty driver do?
I didn't have so much luck. I had a road rager intentionally steer into me, all caught on dash cam. Provided it to the police and they gave the driver a ticket for passing in a no passing zone. NOTHING MORE!!!
Depends on how severe it was they could have their whole licence banned for life based on what was filmed
You almost hit him when you changed lanes, passing the other truck!
@witkr904 if audio is on, that helps too. Friend (semi driver) had a 4 camera system with audio. Cop pulled him over for being in wrong lane, and berated him when he calmly tried to explain. Ended up getting 3 tickets; illegal lane change, reckless driving and something related to attitude. Friend showed the video, with cop clearly visible on left mirror cam, and full audio in court. All tickets dismissed, cop subjected to 10 minute dressing down by Judge, a 2500 fine for writing false tickets AND a letter of reprimand sent to his supervisor. Karma! Remember, too - never argue with a cop roadside. Save it for court.
Am I the only one who thinks this guy has the clearest, most badass dash cam ever in the history of dash cams🤷♂️
😄 I did lots of research before buying it. It’s called VIOFO A119S. Been using it for almost 2 years now, have thousands of hours of recorded video. I basically never turn it off 😂 It also has a capacitor instead of a lithium-ion battery, unlike 99% of the dashcams on the market.
You can even see in the mirrors!
Does it take good quality videos at night?
@@cheap_freight_LLC For less than 100$, thats a damn good dashcam. I'm about to do more research b4 ordering this one 👍🏼
@@imthatguypal_ it’s almost 2 year old dashcam and there are a lot of newer alternatives available now that support wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS and make overall better quality videos. Just make sure you also get high endurance sd card for it if you intend to keep it on 24/7 like I do.

We just hope that after 17 years of commercial driving you didn’t develop an arrogant king of the road attitude and maintained your respect towards other road users, big and small
@@JohnSmith-qp4bt trucks are King of the Road. They should maintain lane discipline and not tailgate or play games either. It’s a great responsibility to operate any equipment let alone large pieces. Hopefully you aren’t arrogant in thinking everyone should stay out of a passenger vehicles way because your Mommy told you that you were special. I hauled a lot of HazMat, like it or not, those loads do demand respect and do take priority because of the sensitive and dangerous nature.
@Jesus Gonzalez or the driver had enough space to merge in the right lane but the pickup was coming in too fast perhaps. Reason why the pickup started brake checking but if you want to argue. We need both sides then. You can't put blame all on one person and call them a hypocrite
@@soksocks there’s no excuse to brake check, the person in the pickup risked his life and whoever else was in his pickups life. Some truckers aren’t so nice and won’t slow down when people make “mistakes” like that. I’m a trucker as well
We need a new law called "Attempting to Create an Accident" when brake checking. Loss of driver's license for one year and a $5,000 fine.
It’s called “reckless driving” in most districts
Sadly, it's also called road rage. This driver acted perfectly (although the clip didn't show to violating event).
Unfortunately, they need to add an "inciting road rage" violation as in my experience, while reacting isn't usually a good thing, if the inciter hadn't been such as ass, the rage event wouldn't have happened.
@@Oops-IMeantToDoThatPeople who road rage have a problem controlling their temper. Everyone on the road drives imperfectly and there’s nothing that can change it as long as humans are humans. The one thing you can control, is your anger and irrational thinking in reaction to it. Even if the person was driving like an a hole. The appropriate response is to keep cool and move on with your life. There’s no excuse for it. But it’s the people with the attitude of “they did this to me so they deserve my fury” that shouldn’t have a license.
1 year is too little lol 3 years minimum imo

I moved my Dad's stuff a few years back from NM to DE and had the largest Uhaul over weight I had ever drove. Truckers on every highway gave me the greatest kindness in passing and merging.

Pickup driver thinking 'was I speeding?'
Sees the semi pull over, 'oohh, yeah.'
Could it be on the officers body cam?
My dad was a truck driver, I give all respect to trucks on the road, let em in when no one else will, never cut them off and give them all the room they might need. A flash of the lights as thanks makes my day. Reminds me of my pops.
For regular cars, I don’t give an inch. For truckers, I let them in front of me, help them move over, and create space. I can get around them and I wanna help them. I drive in So Cal and drive the 10, 210, 60, 105, 405, 5, 57, 710, 605, 22, 15, 215, 134, 118, 170, 2, and other freeways in SoCal. Doesn’t include city streets
The difference is: they're trying to make a living out there on roads dangerous enough without stupid azzhats adding to the mix. When we were RV'ing with an International semi 450 hp ten spd towing a 20,000lb 5er RV, we were determined not to b a rolling road block for those guys out there making a living. Changed out the speed rated tires on the RV to full commercial grade tires for that reason. If you can't keep up to traffic, you're just a bothersome hazard.

When a truck passes you, flash your lights to let him know it's safe to merge. When you see one turning toward the street you are driving down, stop early to give him plenty of room. Small kindnesses and respect cost nothing.

And when someone is parked alongside the road, move to the passing lane if you can.
Just don't blind👀 people at night with the high beams.
But don't flash at night, pisses truckers off cuz it's distracting and blinding
Dont flash you lights at trucks, you only blind them and create more bad then good. is absolutely no reason to do that. monkey see monkey do.
Credit to the truck driver for staying calm and doing his best to drive safely
Usually you don’t see police really do anything on these calls but glad this state/county actually cares. As a driver that’s exactly what you do. Keep calm, no road rage and you get a happier more satisfying revenge, especially when you show the officer the video. Great job driver!!!

@Jesus Gonzalez found the pickup driver
@Jesus Gonzalez I also noticed he didn’t leave much space when he came back over I can’t stand that I do my best to give cars n other trucks plenty of space before I get in front of them but I believe he had this guy right behind him as u know most cars just want us out of their way and are quick to jump around us maybe that’s why he changed back over right away.

Some people are just ignorant, dumb, or both. You guys can't stop on a dime, you need room. I always try to give truckers right of way and plenty of room. Especially when I pass them, I try to get at minimum a full 18 wheeler length between their front and my rear before moving in front of them. Lots of respect to the guys (and gals) who keep America running in the background.
You handled this situation so well. I still don’t understand why people do this. I try to distance myself from semi’s as much as I can. You are awesome and please be safe.
Took a defensive driving class not long ago,to get a speeding ticket charges dropped,teacher said he talked to many truck drivers that said they would prefer if cars would stay as far away from the as possible.He also said,a cop told him a man was killed riding beside an18 wheeler,one of the lug nuts came off ,through the man’s windshield hit him in his heart.Weird,but don’t know why the cop would lie.
👍🏽I agree. Handled it perfectly. I don't know who would do that to someone out in the middle of nowhere.
Why the fuck do people even do that? I genuinely want to know what these people are thinking when they try to brake check anything on the road. I genuinely want to know why their brain cells fucking do that.
i, also, try and keep my distance from semi's, especially if they are logging trucks. with logging trucks, i prefer to be ahead of them. i'm always paranoid about the logs falling off the trailer.
I know people who despise truckers for no reason. They're usually very needy and entitled people who would starve to death within 3 days without truckers shipping their food.
My Dad drove a truck after he retired from a management job at the transportation company he worked for, for about 37 years, and the stories he told about cars playing chicken with him and the break checks, like this guy, just for fun. I always try and give truckers all the room they need, but then again. i was a truck driver's daughter!
I remember during drivers ed the teacher and the driving coach always told us to not stay next to trucks. Now days I've watch cars drive up and then once the car reaches the rear of the trailer the driver decides to stop right at the point. They speed up if the truck speeds up and slow down if the truck slows down.
@@Rhaspun I just started driving. Never was taught. I thought all of this was common sense that people gain from being cars. It really concerns me how people think it’s all fun and games.
@@Rhaspun They’re probably trying to ride the truck’s draft and improve their gas mileage. Unfortunately, you have to be driving dangerously close to get the effect, so it’s not worth it. You can’t see past the semi, and if it changes lanes or stops due to an accident or piece of debris in the road ahead, you can end up in an accident.
@@evilsharkey8954 No. The people I see slowing as soon as they get near the tail of the trailer are slowing down in the next lane. It makes no sense. They're going faster than the truck and then all of a sudden once they reach tail of the trailer they slow down to stay there.
@@Rhaspun That’s weird. Maybe they’re trying to block other people from passing in some nonsensical way.
wanted a insurance claim at the expense of your driving record, got pulled over instead. brilliant.
There need to be much more serious consequences. Lifetime loss of license, bare minimum of a year in prison.
Cant stress this enough, how important is dash cam in driving, you never know what will happen and then u will wish like "damn i wish i had a dash cam". Its a one time investment that will help you only.
The one time I had my dash cam operating I was crossing a railway crossing at low speed expecting a train at that point and the crossing had the solid line on the road for stating no overtaking andthis ergh of a driver seemed to zoom past me and I was heading home from the railway connected to the crossing. So there was the obligation to report the driver through the system in place. I've not since heard anything back about the driver but having been reported of it this was another for the crossing to get nescerary upgrade so this sort of thing shouldn't be able to happen again. If it does then the driver gets the legal stuff against them.
This guy represents himself as a true professional driver
For someone like me who lives in a large, congested, metro area, the openness of the road in this video is stunning. I can't understand how any drivers could initiate conflict with so much space offered. I guess when people take things for granted...

A lot of us don't like being behind truck drivers, and you know what we do?
We wait for them to clear the lane and go on about our day, because they probably had a reason to be in the left lane. It's no excuse for hostile and malicious driving.
Pickup driver decided he was better than everyone else and paid for it.
The trucker was in the left lane because he was passing. He probably moved over to pass before the pickup caught up to him. Maybe the pickup guy was pissed that he had to slow down till the semi passed. Highly unlikely that the semi moved over in front of the pickup so soon that the pickup driver got startled by being cut off by the semi. We don't get to see what was happening behind the semi when he moved into the passing lane.
It should be one of the ultimate Darwin awards to brake check a Semi

@@TwiigssGames I'm late but the reason is that early in the video, the semi safely passed another large truck. The idiot in the pickup was inconvenienced for maybe a whopping 15 seconds while the semi passed. The pickup driver is ignorant and took it personal. This is the type of person to pass on the right which is EXTREMELY dangerous.
I'm so tired of this happening when I traveled pulling my 20' trailer. I'd never drive over 55 in right lane and cars would pull in front of me and pump brakes to slow my speed.

Dunno about the states- but here in Oz, try something stupid, and you will be guaranteed to be on camera- many trucks have 4 or more cameras covering 360 degrees these days- and you won't even know they are there- until they show up in the police report.... even my old girl has 360 coverage- hell even my ute has front and backs in it- and its a 20 year old Hilux lol- the cameras are probably worth more than it is....
A camera is just another needed tool.
Truckers who don't have them, probably don't want anyone to see how "THEY" drive.
This is a perfect example of how important dash cams are. All an Officer needs to see is this video, and buddy's gettin' charged.
This just happened to me today. A guy was merging onto the freeway and I would have gladly moved over out of his way but ther was another truck next to me in the fast lane and was unable to accommodate him.
Well he got mad and came racing around in front of me yelling obscenities and slamming on his brakes.
I had to really slow down quickly to avoid hitting him.
And wouldn’t you know it the the next I hear is sirens behind me. The state trooper saw the whole thing and the guy was pulled over. Here’s the moral of the story, when merging on a hiway or freeway one does not have the right of way, the existing traffic has the right of way.
I'd like to take a moment to mention how absolutely gorgeous the view is.
I’m glad you stopped & hopefully you shared the video with the cop ! Hope the driver at least got a reckless op for starters ... this 💩 getting old drivers ...
And he pulled over to show him the video! BOSS! Lmao
My mother always says, if they weren’t on the road the stores would be empty and I give big rigs the same courtesy as any other drivers and always keep in mind that they have blind spots to try to avoid. Thanks to all of the people who haul everything we need in our daily lives, I am sorry you have to deal with such stupidity when you are just doing your job.
The sound of him unbuckling the seat belt. Badass
Yeah he is a badass karen
@@cwstewartjr1973 do you think what the pickup truck driver was doing was right
@@SethyWethyKine nope...but the trucker cries to the cops like a karen
@@cwstewartjr1973 maybe you should be typing with your fingers, instead of your ass. Give it a try!
@@ItsMotoMatt you should consider not treating your anus like a sex organ
Look at that skyline though, it's beautiful!
OFFICIALS THAT ARE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES NEED TO START TAKING CARE OF AND PROTECT EVERYONE ON THE ROAD NO MATTER THE INCIDENT
Tennessee State Troopers monitor ch.19 on the cb. Twice I've reported traffic issues to other folks on ch.19 and the Troopers showed up in just a few minutes.
God Bless US truckers for all the cargo they move for us!
Great job, sir. People like this need to be held accountable.
We have a travel trailer and I usually try to show the same respect for trucks they show each other, flash my lights indicating I will not interfere with them pulling back in when they are clear, give a quick flash to acknowledge the rare thanks and try not to hold them up when I don't go up hills as fast as they can. I regret that only about half reciprocates my attempt at respect for them. Oh well, that won't stop me, but it's disappointing. In this case you done good and I really like you stopping to enforce the complaint and hopefully convince the trooper to NOT give only a warning. There are far too many assholes who think this is fun and we RVers even experience them.
My late wife and I used to have a 27" motor home (small by today's standards) that we loved to travel in the mountains in. It had a 454 Chevy engine and it was not slow by any means if you got on it so we weren't a threat to traffic behind us that needed to get to wherever they were going. I have, on several occasions, pulled over to make sure I wasn't blocking traffic. The one thing that used to send my blood pressure through the roof were those people who came out of their mother's anal cavity at birth that would rush like mad to get around us then slow down to a crawl in areas I could not pass them in. Anyone who has ever had a motor home knows you have to build up your speed on the flat and downhill areas if you're going to make the next hill with any kind of reasonable speed. Once one of these a-holes gets in front of you the only thing left to do is just pull over and let them go harass somebody else. Far too many times I have hoped they'd pull that stunt in from of a loaded semi and hope it's brakes failed. Perfect karma but would hate it for the trucker. When we finally sold the rig I swore I would never own another one. As much fun as we had in it the IDIOTS on the road just made using it too much of a hassle, especially in Georgia and some of the other southern states.
I would’ve REALLY loved to hear this guys reasoning for brake checking the semi. If it had ANYTHING to do with that time he got in front of him to pass the other semi, he can get bent! This truck passed that truck in record timing! And even if he did do it slowly, IT’S A TRUCK, BE PATIENT!
Yeah, his behavior makes no sense? A semi can crush a pickup into a wrinkled wad. The only reason I can think of to even attempt something like that is if there is something seriously wrong with the truck, like a load coming undone or a wheel coming off, and he’s not getting the message from honking and pointing. That doesn’t appear to be the case here.
I know this is not an easy job but was imagining the freedom of the open road as I watched the beautiful blue skies, clouds, and countryside. Throw in a good sound system and I would consider.
The scenery makes me want to go on a road trip. Can't wait for the borders to open up again.
Saw this on Asian Mai. More of this insurance scammers everyday now. Had gold car in Lubbock,TX try this on me. Glad your safe and driver got a ticket.
Thats why I keep my dash cam on at all times! It saves me from Swifts and other “professional” class A steering wheel holders when I’m parked at truck stop. It saves me from insurance scammers and mentally sick drivers like this one in the video when I’m on the road.
I drive an SUV, and cameras have covered my backside more than once. Latest incident, a sedan rear ends a pickup, and shoves it into me. The guy tried to say it wasn't his fault. One look at the rear camera footage, insurance pairs 100% for at least our two vehicles, probably all three (the at fault guy probably had full coverage/gap, or at least I hope he did since his was probably totaled).
@@GReaper you live in a sick country. Everything has to be in camera.
Beautiful view you've got there.
That trucker when he came up on the other truck to pass did it seamlessly and quick, and then moved right back into the right hand lane to allow faster traffic to pass, Dude is a true professional. On the other hand the pick up driver is a douche bag, He's obviously not in a hurry cause he can play games. Good for you Truck driver dude WTG.
us regular drivers will never understand the shit semi truck drivers go through (My grandpa was a truck driver himself)
@Jesus Gonzalez I wasn't talking about the video. I'm talking about semi truck drivers in general
It's really nice when you have the video evidence to prove what's happened !
This semi driver has it together. He's a careful driver, remains calm and collective while calling the police, and uses his blinker when pulling over.
Great job on all of the above, and hopefully the idiot driving the pickup truck learns his lesson.
Drivers like these will likely do it again unfortunately
@Anthony Galloni I'm sure many think the same thing about Galloni.
@@anton48103 Galloni, sounds like bologna
@@davelowets That's a real life spit take right there. 🏆🤣
@@anton48103 🍻
Dude in the pickup is lucky he picked a nice guy. All he got was a ticket. He could have got flattened.
I can literally see that section of interstate from my house 😂
The video started right by Bridger Valley Wyoming, about 40 miles East of the Wyoming/Utah border. Crazy crazy.
I thought so too lol
I think you're right
I thought New Mexico. We have those beautiful big blue skys
@@mr.iforgot3062
No, it's definitely a Wyoming trooper. He got pulled over right before the Wyoming/Utah boarder. Wyoming is the only state with the mostly all black and distinctive gold stripe Chargers.
I mean, my uncle is also a Wyoming HP, I see one of those exact cars pretty often.
Well then, sir, you live in a area with gorgeous scenery.
I would love to hear the conversation and his explanation why he was doing it hahaha
I am not sure but I think reckless driving is one of the most points intensive tickets that you can get in the pick up truck driver definitely deserved it.
I got a reckless driving charge in Alabama because I went over the center line.
I faced the possibility of jail time. I ended having to hire a traffic lawyer and working 30+ hours volunteer work even before the court date just to appease the judge.
Not me just admiring the beautiful scenery. 😮
I'd totally watch this guy if he had a Live Web Cam so I could watch that beautiful scenery. 😁
As a tiny 4 wheeler cager that loaded trucks out of Cincinnati, and worked as a courier in my own car for another 8 years, this is why I couldn't drive an 18 wheeler. I give them all the room where I can.
My neighbor drove for Roadway, did 2 million miles without an accident driving mostly to Memphis and back pulling doubles.
MUCH respect for the ladies and men hauling our freight!
I was traveling west of Amarillo during an ice storm a few years ago and saw a semi hit a small car (right next to me in the left lane) that was going much slower than the rest of the traffic. Everyone was creeping along at about 20-30 mph but the small car was doing about 10. I was surprised at how much damage was done to both vehicles, even at low speeds on ice. Both vehicles out of commission, semi lost its bumper, fluid going everywhere. I’d hate to see what happens at 75 mph.
I also saw a car get caught between two semis when traffic backed up on an off ramp at Santa Rosa, NM. Both occupants of the car were killed. After seeing that I habitually watch my rear view mirror, ready to get off the road if a truck is coming up behind me and I think it might not be able to stop.
The highway is a dangerous place.
I was a passenger in a London, double-decker, bus. The bus clipped a car as it was taking a 90 degree turn. There was no noise nor jerkiness. The driver stopped when he noticed the parked car next to him was travelling at the same speed as him. That was around four cars shunted with no effort at all.
"That truck driver is a lying bastard!" ... show cop the dash cam... "You were saying...?"
The landscape was incredible! I've never seen anything like that before, ever! (I'm from Florida, so.)
What state was this in? And what time of year?
This is Wyoming at the end of February.
Wyoming
@@cheap_freight_LLC what happened to the pickup truck
The anal answer... The driver was WB on I-80 in SW Wyoming, approx 108 miles ENE of Salt Lake City, Utah. When the call was connected to State Patrol, (refer to video embedded time/ date stamp) he was traveling through a precise, 2 mile radius of the following Lat/Long coordinates. 41.394248 -110.187078. 🤯🤣
@@superhiway Holy shit lmao, well done!
Can we just talk about the view, and how amazing it looks
I am a truck driver and have had this EXACT thing happen to me several times in my career. I think I will do this the next time it happens! Fantastic to see this punk pay for that...with dash cam video as evidence!!
Do a special pit maneuver
It's beautiful when you get to share that dash cam video with the trooper!
