Nothing to see here folks. Move along. Only thing i see here unsafe is the guy operating a camera and speeding up to 85MPH to get in front of a 80,000 pound truck and then slowing down. WTF were you thinking?
Gotta say....the fact that the truck even got to 85 mph was a miracle!!! LOL! My Dad drove trucks for 30 years and alot of his trucks barely got over 65. WOWZA! lol! I'm not the only one thinking that right? lol.
kggunner77 I am an Owner Operator and I have a big condo classic xl. 600 hp and loaded or empty runs out at 120 miles per hour.. Not K/m .. I have the dyno sheets to prove it.. I can't help that you drive slow trucks in the UK.
All I saw was two drivers speeding. It would have been really simple to subtract one. And, he couldn't have tailgated you had you not passed him, speeding faster than he was and holding a camera as well.
the guy playing speed police is the one at fault here. going around and making Damn sure the truck driver knows he wants to stick his nose into his business
there is several points of interests to point out one at the end how do we know the car is honking at him or you? and at the first time you said that he is going 85 if you look at the other traffic he is barly going faster than the other cars? and when you show your speed you are obviosly speeding up because the distance between you and him i hate to say it but in your vid to me you seem to be the aggressor
I missed it, where are your police lights and sirens? Oh you're not a cop? Then why are you endangering multiple lives in a high speed pursuit? Is the trucker in the wrong? Yeah more than likely, Did your antagonizing help the situation? Fuck no. If you would have just let him go along his way he wouldn't have been doing 80+mph
There's other ways then just the police. A video like that posted will cause investigation. He could loose his job, even worse his license. Besides, what a cop going to do? Slap on the wrist with a couple tickets being around a total of $500....whoo what a lesson there.... Just to give proof video like this is more harmful, I fall owed a teams state parol doing 30 above, cutting people off, slamming on his brakes and turning his lights on just because he can. I fallowed him for 60miles, he even tried to provoke. Failing to provoke me, he just to sped up to speed match beside a car and stay there till the road became a single lane and try to out run me. I had small pieces of video, turned it in to Texas state troopers, the last I heard he was under investigation on unpaid leave for a month.
You have your phone , why not call the state police ? No , don't do the smart thing . Chase him down and even pass him to show how cool you can be . BORING!!!
Funny how everyone here is against the camera dude. Clearly, you dont see any of the bad shit happening, but like in most videos, it's what you dont see that counts. Granted, the cameraman should not have been riding with him at 80+ mph, but at the same time, neither should that dude carrying ALL those tree logs, thats WAY more unsafe than this dude filming. "Antagonizing" some of you say....well, that word is for children, because an adult wouldnt let some dude filming them cause more chaos on the road. Overall, from the evidence shown/told, the truck driver IMO is at fault here. How else can you prove that someone is doing wrong unless you physically have them on camera, and thats what this guy did. Harmless and effective.
Here's another fact. Professional drivers are to be held to higher standards than the average drivers on the road and that means obeying ALL traffic laws. That's why the penalties for breaking traffic laws are more strict than the unprofessional. Sure time is money but that's no excuse for being unprofessional and unsafe. If that were me recording this video I would have submitted a copy of it to the trucking company and their insurance agency.
well heres a fact. truck drivers are doin there JOBS, unlike other motorists that for the most part are not driving for their livelyhood. so give them the respect the deserve. and im not a truck driver im a 23 year old that rides a ninja 636
Everyone who thinks tractor/trailer drivers have road rage is completely wrong. Its everyone else on the road. Tractor/trailers takes more time to pick-up speed and to stop. They need a lot room to make turns. People who record us truckers and say that us truckers has road rage are truely the ones with road rage.
There are way too many people that love to harass us truck drivers for no reason. The only one I saw with road rage was the damn jeep. My truck is governed at 65mph, so I cannot go faster than that, and when I am in areas that it is 75mph, and I am trying to go around another truck, it takes a few minutes, and then I have cars flashing their brights, riding MY bumper, honking their horns, and acting foolish because they had to slow down for a minute, heaven forbid
Same thing happened to me and my mom. My mom always approaches semi's with caution, and she was passing, but the driver pulled right into my mom's lane and almost ran us off the road, so my mom stayed behind. He tried to do this to several different people, one of which the car was centimeters away from crashing into the semi. So, I made a better choice by calling the cops, and not recording it, the cops! People are so stupid, if a 16 year old girl knows better, so should you.
in my state, driving while using any hand held device, phone, cameras, computers, hand held games will get you arrested .... so the driver of the truck speeds up to 85mph so you feel that you have the right to break the law as well and speed at 80-85mph...I am amazed at how people all of a sudden have the RIGHT for the purpose of so called social justice all of a sudden have the right to break the law.....
I don't condone the excessive following, but I do appreciate the detail recorded, honesty, etc. The logging driver was driving thoroughly to close... what if you had to stop, period... He'd push you through whatever it was you were stopping for. His load needs AT LEAST 3-6 car lengths to stop minimum. He was 1-2 max. I've seen very few truck drivers do this, I usually make room for them if they need to lane change soon, (I know my roads, I know the bottlenecks, and I know the semi's needs).
Truck drivers think they're the shit. They always try to beat out smaller cars in merge lanes & almost hit 3 people JUST so they can drive slower than everyone else. Definitely need to be more careful since they're carrying tons.
My cousin is a truck driver, and he agrees not all truck drivers are saints. There are dumb drivers on both ends, but a truck with a heavier load is definitely more dangerous than a sedan. "Js"
I'm a driver had been for the last 18 years. I agree some are bad but not all. We don't all " think we are the shit" like you put originally. We are men and women trying to feed our family.
Brianna P You are an Idiot. I can tell by your comment you have never drove a semi and more than likely have never been on a long haul trip in one or you would know cars cut off semis about 100 to every one a semi accidently cut off because the cars don't give them enough room to maneuver properly.
Another law in Maryland going effective is merge over for road side emergencies. Granted I'm a truck driver I get mad and ya he going a bit heavy on the right foot but he was not tailgating. He just was not slowing down. Go back and look at your video he merged to the left Lane for a safety buffer for the car which was recorded on your video that was on the right shoulder. If he passes someone even at 55 mph and blows a right front steer tire he will most likely go into the right Lane and a car SITTING beside him usually Suffers minor damage. If your on the side of the road not moving it typically ends up in death. Please go back and look at the video and you will see the car on the shoulder of the road. I can't judge but if he supposedly cut you off in the bottle neck where the right Lane runs out that means he had to get over. Rules of the road. Labbe ends merge next rule when you and 15 others want to hog in and not let us truck drivers over when we are running out of road are we supposed to stop and wave you on because we might be slower. No not gonna happen. He took the truck more than likely to that speed to show you DO NOT CUT ME OFF YOU WILL REGRET IT. My truck runs 105 mph. I've had 1 guy cut me off and he kept doing it because I flashed my bright lights at him doing 55 in a 70 in the left Lane not passing the car in the right Lane..I can only say he probably won't do that again because I was not very nice. People grow up and act your age behind the wheel. Grabbing a cell phone up show him you are recording him just makes him more mad. Always a best suggestion get you a dash camera. A small investment and if you rear end someone like many truck drivers do BECAUSE WE GOT CUT OFF then you will have proof you were not tail gating. Another law from where I live in Georgia is when you pass someone and flip them the bird it is considered road rage. Be courteous and drive smart
Everyone here is attacking the camera man. True he may have been stupid as well. But you can't compare a truck with a load of logs to a car. If that truck loses control he can potentially kill hundreds of people on the road. The truck driver should've been more responsible and smarter than that. He deserves to have his license suspended. Should be mor responsible when carrying a load.
actually its 65 mph there i drive that road everyday, but he is still wreckless and im not gonna say you were because i dont know how you drive. I can out drive more than likely 95% of these people commenting, its a second nature to me and i can do 6 things at once while driving...just be careful when you ARE recording someone on the road.
Driving a truck is harder than many people appreciate. the sheer willpower and professionalism required to resist the sometimes overwhelming temptation to knock some arse off the road who really deserves it is rarely taken into account. If another road user clearly has issues aren't you better off keeping well away?
Because everybody knows that deadlines give you the right to drive like a psychopath and put everyone in danger. If you're a professional driver then drive like it. Highly dangerous of the guy taping these antics for driving and recording but i've seen so much of this crap in the past few years that someone has to do something about it.
There you have it folks...another fool who thinks it's ok for him to drive like a maniac well over the legal speed limit, therefore endangering the lives of those he claims the truck driver is endangering, not watching the road while he uses his cell phone to video tape his dangerous and illegal activity and all the while condemning those who are doing the EXACT SAME THING HE'S DOING! Perhaps the poster can explain why it's ok for him to break the law and endanger people's lives?
Also to add..... I am an accident re-constructionist!!!!!!!!! I have seen lots of fatality accidents. More than I care to discuss. In the last 5 years the number of accidents related to people using electronic devices while driving has climbed through the roof. In YOUR video I see that you are paying far more attention to what the truck driver was doing and making sure you were getting the proper footage. All you had to do was slow down yourself and worry about YOU! (continue next comment)
additionally.. If I do see a semi tailgating me... Extremely close... I let go of the accelerator a bit, not alot, just enough to lose 5kph, every few mins, not excessive slow down, easy to adapt to for the semi, just to "say hey, wtf...". I am usually just gracing above the speed limit in my lane, and I still do this until they do slow down enough, then I regain speed to the limit/gracing it. If they repeat tailgate, I repeat this slow careful maneuver. Especially if no room in alternate lanes.
CDLs are public records under US Law, so it's perfectly legal. If you don't want someone to be able to view your information, don't get a License which is classified as a Public Record. Same as divorce, bankruptcies, house sales and tax liens are public records, and anyone who wishes to, may publish that information, whether you want your info made available or not. As far as the company, if they don't want their information made public, don't advertise on the truck.
You show your speed at 80-85 and hes going the same speed, then you show your speed dipping down to 75 right as you get by. He changed lanes for someone on the shoulder, it had nothing to do with you at this point. Why does your speed vary so much?
He could dump logs on the highway at any speed, whether its 25 or 85. Quit messing with him and antagonizing him and you won't have to worry about it next time. And if one of these guys ever wrecks in the future, you may potentially save your own life because you REMOVED YOURSELF FROM THE SITUATION instead of staying right there with them, patronizing them and giving them hell.
As a cop I see numerous violations by both parties. cameraman you posted photographic evidence that you yourself were speeding. while speeding and showing your speed I noticed that you were catching the truck and passing it which means you were going faster than the truck. That alone raises questions as to the actual speed of the truck. how fast were you going when the truck passed YOU? YOU sir were more unsafe than the truck in my opinion by using a cell while driving and speeding!
I'm really surprised no one has mentioned about the infringement on the truck drivers rights. I seriously doubt the poster had permission to publicize the drivers full name. Okay so maybe the truck driver didn't act right we don't know. We have only the word of the poster. Why not just let him go? Why put everyone else's lives at risk. You have a cell phone. Call it in and be happy he no longer bothers you
Do you understand that he is a professional and knows the road very well. That he is in control as much as you can be on the road. And when it comes down to it truckers are safer and more able to deal with what the road has to offer. You are the novice, uneducated driver who just doesn't understand what he is doing. Its very simple.
Speeding isn't that big of a deal, let him or her risk a ticket. However driving and use of a cell phone is a rather large crime. not the greatest idea to try to cause road rage either.
Truck driving is a job.Casual everyday (car)drivers drive 2-3 hours everyday(go their kid at school,go at the baseball match at the evenings,go at the town to shop etc).Truck drivers are driving like 7-8 hours every day.You can imagine where I'm going it.Like all people they have good and bad days+the stress of delivering the cargo on time .What u think about about my facts?
gotanax2grind Hi! How did you get all your information about the other truck driver? I don't think it is allowed to put his/ her personal stuff in public places such as youtube. And why did you speed as well? Why didn't you teach him at what speed he should have gone?(By going at the maximum allowed speed). What do you want with his/ her address? (P.S.-i am not a native speaker, I rarely use english, sorry for the mistakes)
There is no prove of a truck speeding in this video all that i see is a car driver using a phone while driving on a freeway and pointing at own speedometer displaying 85 mph while over taken a truck meaning the truck was going less than 85 mph if the speedometer was correct .You can t fix stupid.I hope the cops if there any use there could use this video as evidence to fine / convict the video maker on dangerous driving charges.
WOW WTG Mr. car driver. You are such a good and responsible driver cruising down the road at 85 and video taping. Yep. You are the model safe driver. I'm sure you did nothing at all to provoke the guy either. Thats why you don't show any of the events leading up to this video.
I'm sure the fact that a semi pulling a legal load can slow down on a dime for you so your lil ol' Jeep can get through that bottleneck INITIALLY came to mind, right? NO. Because SEMI trucks do that you know...stop on dime for idiot drivers...OMG!
Truck drivers drive 12 hours a day, at least 5 days a week ... Just stating a fact :) These men need nice women in their lives :) Warmest, from Texas ;)
wasn't tailgating let alone shining the bumper. Also inertia and chains keep logs from comming off the back of the truck. him going 20 miles faster than usual isn't going to make all the logs come off and kill everyone.
Look at this trucker being so dangerous and breaking the speed limit! What? Me? No, no, that's beside the point. I had to speed and drive with one hand on the wheel to so I could record this. Oh no I was able to watch the road and look down to show the speed limit I was breaking. No, I was not all over the road almost hitting the white pick-up. The person who posted this is causing the a far more danger to the people on the road then the truck driver here. I think he should have posted his p
That guy should not be driving a truck that fast period, but I must say the driver recording should not be driving at all, you think it is ok to go that fast because you are recording another idiot driver, you might be more dangerous then the truck driver you are making sure to keep the truck in the video which means taking your eyes off the road, and at that speed with only one hand on the steering wheel while holding the camera/phone in the other. You would be the one to loose control and kill someone!
You're going 85+ in a vehicle that could potentially have a catastrophic failure and kill a bunch of people. But that never crossed you mind? Only that HE was in the wrong. Not you by antagonizing him and egging it on instead of backing off and getting away from the guy. You are just as guilty as he is,
People are stupid. I try not to do anything to antagonize cars, but all I have to do is put my signal on to switch lanes and they rush up and hang beside the trailer or block the lane on purpose so I cannot move over. Brake checking a semi is asking for a coffin. We CANNOT stop on a dime, and if the load shifts the wrong way during that brake check, many other cars around could get damaged, and people can get hurt and killed because of one stupid idiot
I like how he points out that everything the trucker is doing is illegal! Apparently he did not realize getting into a car chase with a semi at over 80 MPH and harassing the truck driver is also illegal in Maryland. And, of course he's going to ride your ass, he wants to go fast and you got in front of him and slowed down like a jerk just to get in his way! he than tries to pass you and you speed up to not allow him! You need to rename this vid to Extreme Road Rage - Out of Control Jeeper
@89Dagre when i type fast i always do mistakes bob.But take a look at ur comment and find your mistake ;) and please dont correct me next time if you cant correct urs...
Now tell the truth,you in the jeep and the lincoln didn't merge correctly while coming out of the pickle park.and when you said he was tailgating you,if you were paying attention he pulled into passing lane because of vehicle in the brakedown lane thats for the safety of everyone,its not all about you,princess with the rainbow sticker on your jeep !!!!!
his illegal action of tailgating came from the illegal action of "crusing" in the fast lane. its illegal to cruise in the passing/fast lane, not to mention filming while driving. just saying
I think you both are being completely irresponsible. For one, why chase down a truck? If he was doing something illegal, notify the state highway patrol. You chasing him could have caused a wreck just as easily.
The only thing that is "extreme" about this video is you filming while driving. I guess people like you think you're a super-hero when you have a camera in your hands and feel the need to record things on the road. Typical 4-wheeler. Leave the trucker alone!!!! He's working and probably has a deadline to meet.
You speeding and passing him is also illegal, not to mention a cell phone. That shows how little you care about others around you and a grave insecurity. Let jerks like that drive like morons adding fuel to the fire makes for a worse situation.
I watched this vid twice and realized that the address is not the trucking companies address like I assumed! I googled it and its a residential farmland! I think this is the truck drivers real address and I believe that posting his information online on a popular public hub like youtube is illegal! And, based on the comments in the vid its also possibly slander! I think the vid should be removed for this!
Why are you going 85? Why did you feel the need to be in front of him, then worry about what he's doing behind you all the time? You're safer to stay well enough away and fuck the logs.
you complain that he is driving over 85mph in a 55mph zone,,,well SO ARE YOU, and you are driving with one hand on the wheel !!!, I think you have provoked the situation, truckers are constantly getting "cut-off" by other drivers, put yourself in his shoes for a second, truckers can not come to a quick stop if something was to go wrong, like someone trying to cut in front of them. Read most of the comments here, it is you that is behaving, and driving badly. You're lucky he didn't hit you.
@18wheelsrollin77 agree, when im in the left lane doing 73 - 75 (not holding anyone back), it takes less than 5 minutes to get a mofo who tailgates me for the sole purpose of getting me to move over.
Whats the point of this video? I mean, I've driven and have been passed by fully loaded trucks at over 90mph thru Kentucky. The drivers are fully aware of what they're doing. Also, I highly doubt he accelerated because he "saw u recording" when he wasnt anywhere near you to see u record him. Leave the man alone and let him drive.
your the one who is going to cause an accident trying to pick a fight if you want to fight join the army so leave the truckers alone let them make a living
There's only a small portion of the video where the speed is 55 mph, most is 65 mph. And in some places if you were caught by the police at 30 mph over the speed limit (like at the end), it is considered stunt driving and the vehicle is impounded completed with a $10 000 fine.
Why didn't you just call the police and give them a description, record him and stay away? If your going 85 in a 55, aren't you also causing to the dangerous conditions of the road and also instigating more problems? Wouldn't the smart the be to let him pass you and keep a distance of a big truck vs maybe getting killed yourself? Seriously if people want to document road rage, being part of the problem doesn't usually work out in your favor.
as for the guy in the Lincoln, I believe he was honking at you. the truck is 2 lanes over from him and you passed by him holding a phone up video taping. at no point did i see his truck almost tip over nor run over a dog. only thing I seen him doing wrong was speeding. as for the the tailgatting...he wasnt even close to you and i noticed a pickup on right should with flashers on and he moved over behind you ( constantly in left lane) to give proper room. get a life and go back to drivers ed
Here's a clue...he is trying to leave you behind...let it be dip. What I love is someone going as fast as they can to get ahead of me and then slowing down...like you. Get a lfe non-driver.
Why is it that when you were going 85 you didnt keep going 85 to get away from him? NO what you did was spped up to catch him then get in front of him and slow back down. What you did was wrong very wrong. Im a truck driver and I tell you we dont go looking for trouble. There is missing video i.e. what happened before to piss him off and then you not leaving him alone. Your a bully and should have your license pulled.

First off, that section of road 65 NOT 55 2nd, WHY ARE YOU ANTAGONIZING HIM? 3rd you we over exaggerating on alot of things.
Nothing to see here folks. Move along. Only thing i see here unsafe is the guy operating a camera and speeding up to 85MPH to get in front of a 80,000 pound truck and then slowing down. WTF were you thinking?
You're driving just as crazy, how does that make you any better than him?
Gotta say....the fact that the truck even got to 85 mph was a miracle!!! LOL! My Dad drove trucks for 30 years and alot of his trucks barely got over 65. WOWZA! lol! I'm not the only one thinking that right? lol.
They make trucks without govern's nowadays old timer :)
peppywolf1012 Uh...I am faaaaaar from an old timer. lol!
agree,trucks are not capable of such speed,limiters are fitted to most if not all trucks in the uk,dont know about these tho 85mph i fuckin doubt it
kggunner77 I am an Owner Operator and I have a big condo classic xl. 600 hp and loaded or empty runs out at 120 miles per hour.. Not K/m .. I have the dyno sheets to prove it.. I can't help that you drive slow trucks in the UK.
Harold Gillian And what exactly is the point of that?
All I saw was two drivers speeding. It would have been really simple to subtract one. And, he couldn't have tailgated you had you not passed him, speeding faster than he was and holding a camera as well.
the guy playing speed police is the one at fault here. going around and making Damn sure the truck driver knows he wants to stick his nose into his business
85.... Not bad. I'm James Garcia and I approve of this message
he looked in control of his rig to me. Im assuming you dont have a job, since it didnt look like you had anything else to do
truck driver is a victim of a road rage by driver who's filming while driving.
You doubled the chances of killing someone by following him.
"Now he tailgates me (very closely) which, I understand is illegal in Maryland" Said while driving 25 miles over the speed limit!
Yor are the main reason people have wrecks .
there is several points of interests to point out one at the end how do we know the car is honking at him or you? and at the first time you said that he is going 85 if you look at the other traffic he is barly going faster than the other cars? and when you show your speed you are obviosly speeding up because the distance between you and him i hate to say it but in your vid to me you seem to be the aggressor
So you admit to speeding at up to 30 mph over the limit and driving one handed while using a mobile phone.
I missed it, where are your police lights and sirens? Oh you're not a cop? Then why are you endangering multiple lives in a high speed pursuit?
Is the trucker in the wrong? Yeah more than likely,
Did your antagonizing help the situation? Fuck no. If you would have just let him go along his way he wouldn't have been doing 80+mph
There's other ways then just the police. A video like that posted will cause investigation. He could loose his job, even worse his license. Besides, what a cop going to do? Slap on the wrist with a couple tickets being around a total of $500....whoo what a lesson there.... Just to give proof video like this is more harmful, I fall owed a teams state parol doing 30 above, cutting people off, slamming on his brakes and turning his lights on just because he can. I fallowed him for 60miles, he even tried to provoke. Failing to provoke me, he just to sped up to speed match beside a car and stay there till the road became a single lane and try to out run me. I had small pieces of video, turned it in to Texas state troopers, the last I heard he was under investigation on unpaid leave for a month.
You have your phone , why not call the state police ? No , don't do the smart thing . Chase him down and even pass him to show how cool you can be . BORING!!!
this is worst than texting and driving you need your D.L. taken away
I'd be more likely to believe this story if the 55 MPH speed limit didn't have signs that clearly say 65 MPH. 1:29
Funny how everyone here is against the camera dude. Clearly, you dont see any of the bad shit happening, but like in most videos, it's what you dont see that counts.

Both should go to jail for reckless driving. 20 mph over posted limit. Stay away from trucks.Get away from unsafe drivers. Don't provoke a hot head.
Here's another fact. Professional drivers are to be held to higher standards than the average drivers on the road and that means obeying ALL traffic laws. That's why the penalties for breaking traffic laws are more strict than the unprofessional. Sure time is money but that's no excuse for being unprofessional and unsafe. If that were me recording this video I would have submitted a copy of it to the trucking company and their insurance agency.
well heres a fact. truck drivers are doin there JOBS, unlike other motorists that for the most part are not driving for their livelyhood. so give them the respect the deserve. and im not a truck driver im a 23 year old that rides a ninja 636

Same thing happened to me and my mom. My mom always approaches semi's with caution, and she was passing, but the driver pulled right into my mom's lane and almost ran us off the road, so my mom stayed behind.

People are so stupid, if a 16 year old girl knows better, so should you.
Once he started accelerating and he was passing that truck around the turn you can see his heavy load start to walk side to side. Very dangerous idiot
in my state, driving while using any hand held device, phone, cameras, computers, hand held games will get you arrested .... so the driver of the truck speeds up to 85mph so you feel that you have the right to break the law as well and speed at 80-85mph...I am amazed at how people all of a sudden have the RIGHT for the purpose of so called social justice all of a sudden have the right to break the law.....
Simple, the only problem was YOU, for exposing yourself
in that situation.
It doesn't matter who started it, the point is: Who Continued it?
I don't condone the excessive following, but I do appreciate the detail recorded, honesty, etc. The logging driver was driving thoroughly to close... what if you had to stop, period... He'd push you through whatever it was you were stopping for. His load needs AT LEAST 3-6 car lengths to stop minimum. He was 1-2 max.
I've seen very few truck drivers do this, I usually make room for them if they need to lane change soon, (I know my roads, I know the bottlenecks, and I know the semi's needs).
EVERYONE EVERYONE i just realized its just a video not something to get all worked up over..
Truck drivers think they're the shit. They always try to beat out smaller cars in merge lanes & almost hit 3 people JUST so they can drive slower than everyone else. Definitely need to be more careful since they're carrying tons.

+Brianna P you dont even know what your saying stfu
Lucio Rodriguez Jr i also don't know you, shove that unnecessary comment up your ass....
Brianna P You are an Idiot. I can tell by your comment you have never drove a semi and more than likely have never been on a long haul trip in one or you would know cars cut off semis about 100 to every one a semi accidently cut off because the cars don't give them enough room to maneuver properly.
Another law in Maryland going effective is merge over for road side emergencies. Granted I'm a truck driver I get mad and ya he going a bit heavy on the right foot but he was not tailgating. He just was not slowing down. Go back and look at your video he merged to the left Lane for a safety buffer for the car which was recorded on your video that was on the right shoulder. If he passes someone even at 55 mph and blows a right front steer tire he will most likely go into the right Lane and a car SITTING beside him usually Suffers minor damage. If your on the side of the road not moving it typically ends up in death. Please go back and look at the video and you will see the car on the shoulder of the road. I can't judge but if he supposedly cut you off in the bottle neck where the right Lane runs out that means he had to get over. Rules of the road. Labbe ends merge next rule when you and 15 others want to hog in and not let us truck drivers over when we are running out of road are we supposed to stop and wave you on because we might be slower. No not gonna happen. He took the truck more than likely to that speed to show you DO NOT CUT ME OFF YOU WILL REGRET IT. My truck runs 105 mph. I've had 1 guy cut me off and he kept doing it because I flashed my bright lights at him doing 55 in a 70 in the left Lane not passing the car in the right Lane..I can only say he probably won't do that again because I was not very nice. People grow up and act your age behind the wheel. Grabbing a cell phone up show him you are recording him just makes him more mad. Always a best suggestion get you a dash camera. A small investment and if you rear end someone like many truck drivers do BECAUSE WE GOT CUT OFF then you will have proof you were not tail gating. Another law from where I live in Georgia is when you pass someone and flip them the bird it is considered road rage. Be courteous and drive smart
Everyone here is attacking the camera man. True he may have been stupid as well. But you can't compare a truck with a load of logs to a car. If that truck loses control he can potentially kill hundreds of people on the road. The truck driver should've been more responsible and smarter than that. He deserves to have his license suspended. Should be mor responsible when carrying a load.
actually its 65 mph there i drive that road everyday, but he is still wreckless and im not gonna say you were because i dont know how you drive. I can out drive more than likely 95% of these people commenting, its a second nature to me and i can do 6 things at once while driving...just be careful when you ARE recording someone on the road.
Driving a truck is harder than many people appreciate. the sheer willpower and professionalism required to resist the sometimes overwhelming temptation to knock some arse off the road who really deserves it is rarely taken into account. If another road user clearly has issues aren't you better off keeping well away?
Because everybody knows that deadlines give you the right to drive like a psychopath and put everyone in danger. If you're a professional driver then drive like it. Highly dangerous of the guy taping these antics for driving and recording but i've seen so much of this crap in the past few years that someone has to do something about it.
There you have it folks...another fool who thinks it's ok for him to drive like a maniac well over the legal speed limit, therefore endangering the lives of those he claims the truck driver is endangering, not watching the road while he uses his cell phone to video tape his dangerous and illegal activity and all the while condemning those who are doing the EXACT SAME THING HE'S DOING! Perhaps the poster can explain why it's ok for him to break the law and endanger people's lives?
That truck driver and YOU should BOTH be taken off of the road.
Also to add..... I am an accident re-constructionist!!!!!!!!! I have seen lots of fatality accidents. More than I care to discuss. In the last 5 years the number of accidents related to people using electronic devices while driving has climbed through the roof. In YOUR video I see that you are paying far more attention to what the truck driver was doing and making sure you were getting the proper footage. All you had to do was slow down yourself and worry about YOU! (continue next comment)
additionally.. If I do see a semi tailgating me... Extremely close... I let go of the accelerator a bit, not alot, just enough to lose 5kph, every few mins, not excessive slow down, easy to adapt to for the semi, just to "say hey, wtf...". I am usually just gracing above the speed limit in my lane, and I still do this until they do slow down enough, then I regain speed to the limit/gracing it. If they repeat tailgate, I repeat this slow careful maneuver. Especially if no room in alternate lanes.
CDLs are public records under US Law, so it's perfectly legal. If you don't want someone to be able to view your information, don't get a License which is classified as a Public Record. Same as divorce, bankruptcies, house sales and tax liens are public records, and anyone who wishes to, may publish that information, whether you want your info made available or not.
As far as the company, if they don't want their information made public, don't advertise on the truck.
You show your speed at 80-85 and hes going the same speed, then you show your speed dipping down to 75 right as you get by. He changed lanes for someone on the shoulder, it had nothing to do with you at this point. Why does your speed vary so much?
LOL! I was in the white truck! Don't worry. I flipped him off. As a passenger, too :D
He could dump logs on the highway at any speed, whether its 25 or 85. Quit messing with him and antagonizing him and you won't have to worry about it next time. And if one of these guys ever wrecks in the future, you may potentially save your own life because you REMOVED YOURSELF FROM THE SITUATION instead of staying right there with them, patronizing them and giving them hell.
As a cop I see numerous violations by both parties. cameraman you posted photographic evidence that you yourself were speeding. while speeding and showing your speed I noticed that you were catching the truck and passing it which means you were going faster than the truck. That alone raises questions as to the actual speed of the truck. how fast were you going when the truck passed YOU? YOU sir were more unsafe than the truck in my opinion by using a cell while driving and speeding!
thats a proof that the car driver was speeding , but thats not a proof that the truck was.
I'm really surprised no one has mentioned about the infringement on the truck drivers rights. I seriously doubt the poster had permission to publicize the drivers full name. Okay so maybe the truck driver didn't act right we don't know. We have only the word of the poster. Why not just let him go? Why put everyone else's lives at risk. You have a cell phone. Call it in and be happy he no longer bothers you
Do you understand that he is a professional and knows the road very well. That he is in control as much as you can be on the road. And when it comes down to it truckers are safer and more able to deal with what the road has to offer. You are the novice, uneducated driver who just doesn't understand what he is doing. Its very simple.
Speeding isn't that big of a deal, let him or her risk a ticket. However driving and use of a cell phone is a rather large crime. not the greatest idea to try to cause road rage either.
Truck driving is a job.Casual everyday (car)drivers drive 2-3 hours everyday(go their kid at school,go at the baseball match at the evenings,go at the town to shop etc).Truck drivers are driving like 7-8 hours every day.You can imagine where I'm going it.Like all people they have good and bad days+the stress of delivering the cargo on time .What u think about about my facts?
Usually the car cam sticks to the window. Are you filming while you are driving? YOU could kill someone too when you multi-tasking like that.
gotanax2grind Hi! How did you get all your information about the other truck driver? I don't think it is allowed to put his/ her personal stuff in public places such as youtube. And why did you speed as well? Why didn't you teach him at what speed he should have gone?(By going at the maximum allowed speed). What do you want with his/ her address? (P.S.-i am not a native speaker, I rarely use english, sorry for the mistakes)
There is no prove of a truck speeding in this video all that i see is a car driver using a phone while driving on a freeway and pointing at own speedometer displaying 85 mph while over taken a truck meaning the truck was going less than 85 mph if the speedometer was correct .You can t fix stupid.I hope the cops if there any use there could use this video as evidence to fine / convict the video maker on dangerous driving charges.
John O Brien Amen
He didn't want to be caught on tape? That shouldn't be a concern. Who the hell uses tapes these days anyway?
WOW WTG Mr. car driver. You are such a good and responsible driver cruising down the road at 85 and video taping. Yep. You are the model safe driver. I'm sure you did nothing at all to provoke the guy either. Thats why you don't show any of the events leading up to this video.
wow! didnt now kenworth could go that superfast! got to get me one of those..
I'm sure the fact that a semi pulling a legal load can slow down on a dime for you so your lil ol' Jeep can get through that bottleneck INITIALLY came to mind, right? NO. Because SEMI trucks do that you know...stop on dime for idiot drivers...OMG!
Truck drivers drive 12 hours a day, at least 5 days a week ... Just stating a fact :) These men need nice women in their lives :) Warmest, from Texas ;)
wasn't tailgating let alone shining the bumper. Also inertia and chains keep logs from comming off the back of the truck. him going 20 miles faster than usual isn't going to make all the logs come off and kill everyone.
Look at this trucker being so dangerous and breaking the speed limit!
What? Me? No, no, that's beside the point. I had to speed and drive with one hand on the wheel to so I could record this. Oh no I was able to watch the road and look down to show the speed limit I was breaking. No, I was not all over the road almost hitting the white pick-up.
The person who posted this is causing the a far more danger to the people on the road then the truck driver here. I think he should have posted his p
HELP ME FLAG THIS VIDEO THIS GUY IS PUTTING UP NOT ONLY THE DRIVERS INFORMATION BUT THE COMPANY WITHOUT THERE PERMISSION
It is also iligal to hold your phone in your hand when you are driving!
That guy should not be driving a truck that fast period, but I must say the driver recording should not be driving at all, you think it is ok to go that fast because you are recording another idiot driver, you might be more dangerous then the truck driver you are making sure to keep the truck in the video which means taking your eyes off the road, and at that speed with only one hand on the steering wheel while holding the camera/phone in the other. You would be the one to loose control and kill someone!
Yeah thought the same thing!!!
This dip wad should get a ticket for using cell phone doing 85 chasing and antagonizing a trucker creating an unsafe scenario.
Looks to me like you kept provoking the guy which pissed him off.
he will do this to the wrong person one day and end up shot dead.
im from hagerstown md but now live in myrtle beach. trust me this is how almost everybody reacts in maryland thats why i moved.
You're going 85+ in a vehicle that could potentially have a catastrophic failure and kill a bunch of people. But that never crossed you mind? Only that HE was in the wrong. Not you by antagonizing him and egging it on instead of backing off and getting away from the guy.
You are just as guilty as he is,
People are stupid. I try not to do anything to antagonize cars, but all I have to do is put my signal on to switch lanes and they rush up and hang beside the trailer or block the lane on purpose so I cannot move over. Brake checking a semi is asking for a coffin. We CANNOT stop on a dime, and if the load shifts the wrong way during that brake check, many other cars around could get damaged, and people can get hurt and killed because of one stupid idiot
What did you do to him?
I like how he points out that everything the trucker is doing is illegal! Apparently he did not realize getting into a car chase with a semi at over 80 MPH and harassing the truck driver is also illegal in Maryland. And, of course he's going to ride your ass, he wants to go fast and you got in front of him and slowed down like a jerk just to get in his way! he than tries to pass you and you speed up to not allow him! You need to rename this vid to Extreme Road Rage - Out of Control Jeeper
That rig is movin! LOL
@89Dagre when i type fast i always do mistakes bob.But take a look at ur comment and find your mistake ;) and please dont correct me next time if you cant correct urs...
the speed limit on that road is 65 and truckers are allowed to go that speed no 85 is too fast but just wanted to point that out
Now tell the truth,you in the jeep and the lincoln didn't merge correctly while coming out of the pickle park.and when you said he was tailgating you,if you were paying attention he pulled into passing lane because of vehicle in the brakedown lane thats for the safety of everyone,its not all about you,princess with the rainbow sticker on your jeep !!!!!
his illegal action of tailgating came from the illegal action of "crusing" in the fast lane. its illegal to cruise in the passing/fast lane, not to mention filming while driving. just saying
I think you both are being completely irresponsible. For one, why chase down a truck? If he was doing something illegal, notify the state highway patrol. You chasing him could have caused a wreck just as easily.
Sadly the truck driver changed his number you should put an update of his new phone number up, if you can figure that out.
The only thing that is "extreme" about this video is you filming while driving. I guess people like you think you're a super-hero when you have a camera in your hands and feel the need to record things on the road. Typical 4-wheeler. Leave the trucker alone!!!! He's working and probably has a deadline to meet.
You speeding and passing him is also illegal, not to mention a cell phone. That shows how little you care about others around you and a grave insecurity. Let jerks like that drive like morons adding fuel to the fire makes for a worse situation.
I watched this vid twice and realized that the address is not the trucking companies address like I assumed! I googled it and its a residential farmland! I think this is the truck drivers real address and I believe that posting his information online on a popular public hub like youtube is illegal! And, based on the comments in the vid its also possibly slander! I think the vid should be removed for this!
I WISH ONE OF THOSE LOGS WOULD FALL OFF HIS TRUCK AND GO RIGHT THREW TOUR WINDSHIELD...GROW UP
Why are you going 85? Why did you feel the need to be in front of him, then worry about what he's doing behind you all the time? You're safer to stay well enough away and fuck the logs.
I hope the police mailed you ticket for speeding and roadracing.
Damm nvr seen a truck move dat fast
you complain that he is driving over 85mph in a 55mph zone,,,well SO ARE YOU, and you are driving with one hand on the wheel !!!, I think you have provoked the situation, truckers are constantly getting "cut-off" by other drivers, put yourself in his shoes for a second, truckers can not come to a quick stop if something was to go wrong, like someone trying to cut in front of them. Read most of the comments here, it is you that is behaving, and driving badly. You're lucky he didn't hit you.
@18wheelsrollin77 agree, when im in the left lane doing 73 - 75 (not holding anyone back), it takes less than 5 minutes to get a mofo who tailgates me for the sole purpose of getting me to move over.
Your car sucks if a semi truck can go faster then you....
Whats the point of this video? I mean, I've driven and have been passed by fully loaded trucks at over 90mph thru Kentucky. The drivers are fully aware of what they're doing. Also, I highly doubt he accelerated because he "saw u recording" when he wasnt anywhere near you to see u record him. Leave the man alone and let him drive.
your the one who is going to cause an accident trying to pick a fight if you want to fight join the army so leave the truckers alone let them make a living
There's only a small portion of the video where the speed is 55 mph, most is 65 mph. And in some places if you were caught by the police at 30 mph over the speed limit (like at the end), it is considered stunt driving and the vehicle is impounded completed with a $10 000 fine.
Why didn't you just call the police and give them a description, record him and stay away? If your going 85 in a 55, aren't you also causing to the dangerous conditions of the road and also instigating more problems? Wouldn't the smart the be to let him pass you and keep a distance of a big truck vs maybe getting killed yourself? Seriously if people want to document road rage, being part of the problem doesn't usually work out in your favor.
as for the guy in the Lincoln, I believe he was honking at you. the truck is 2 lanes over from him and you passed by him holding a phone up video taping. at no point did i see his truck almost tip over nor run over a dog. only thing I seen him doing wrong was speeding. as for the the tailgatting...he wasnt even close to you and i noticed a pickup on right should with flashers on and he moved over behind you ( constantly in left lane) to give proper room. get a life and go back to drivers ed
Here's a clue...he is trying to leave you behind...let it be dip. What I love is someone going as fast as they can to get ahead of me and then slowing down...like you. Get a lfe non-driver.
@snowman7007
I drive with one hand 90% of the time, it's called having a standard. It's also called having skill.
You don't fuck with a semi
At 1:18 how do you KNOW he saw YOU video taping him.
Sorry about the dip driver messing with you Bill.
Why is it that when you were going 85 you didnt keep going 85 to get away from him? NO what you did was spped up to catch him then get in front of him and slow back down. What you did was wrong very wrong. Im a truck driver and I tell you we dont go looking for trouble. There is missing video i.e. what happened before to piss him off and then you not leaving him alone. Your a bully and should have your license pulled.
i think he was honking to tell you that ya looked great in your pickup truck
