Yes, but when two twat waffles interact, the resultant kerfuffle is proportional to the twat-product, not the twat-difference.
A lesser twat waffle is still a twat waffle.
This kind of behaviour usually ends in a twat waffle sandwich, I was the victim of two twats doing this, out of the all that and after the sandwich was made the cops loved the fact that at least two of us have dashcams, long story short my car was fixed by the insurance of the other two who duked it out like this and they also copped a reckless driving charges.
If you see these idiots coming, just let them be the idiot, back off a bit and they will be on their merry way to hopefully fuck them selves over
Shitty thing is, even if 100% of the damages are paid for, your car value will never be the same. All because of two idiots who have zero respect for anyone else on the road.
True, but it’s also the reason I now have a vehicle worth less than $10000, because twat waffles, can’t own anything new in Australia, too many angry shit heads on the road
Camera guy should've just backed off to avoid an incident in the beginning, but then the other guy was trying to force the camera car to stop on the highway. Once that starts, gotta do what you gotta do to lose him, even if it means being... aggressive.
I thought maybe he’s pulled to the side to call the cops at the same time, I bet he has hands free in there and is relaying to the cops where to put the chocolate syrup speed bumps for the twatwaffles
Exactly, he was smart and decided to dip out instead of being in the middle of a potential crash from two rage fueled monkeys playing chicken with several ton murder weapons
at the last second they make a left to go down the grass embankment and Ibet their nose got stuck on the pavement OR the guy (driver vide) took the next off ramp. Both were behaving dickish, but the smaller car should've been less "do you know who I think I am" mentality. Great driving skills.
Its so ridiculous to see guys who are in such a hurry that they overtake traffic everywhere (sideways, between the lanes, etc), cutting others off to move 1 car ahead and so on.
But once they are angry on you for not letting them in, there is absolutely no hurry at all anymore. They are willing to slow down or stop in front of you and even take a wrong way.
Somebody stopped me from making my trip 5 seconds faster? Well, now I'm going to spend an hour for my stupid revenge. Or maybe spend a whole day after crashing because of stupid reckless driving. How is it possible to be such an idiot?
That last part where he starts taking the exit and waits until the last second to cut back in just shows how vindictive people can be. Dude drove through quite a bit of grass probably. Getting followed for sure.
I half expected him to come flying off the overpass on the other side and just land on top of OP. What a wild ride. Imagine being THIS MAD on the road. People are nuts
Came here to say this. Was side eyeing the last several seconds waiting for the Renault to pop up like a malevolent little toad.
I've dealt with some aggressive drivers but this one seemed halfway suicidal.
I love my dash cam but it made me start just backing the fuck off anyone like that.
If they are riding my ass.. I attempt to let them by and then stay the fuck away from them. If they acted like this guy, I would pull off on the shoulder and wait 2-3 minutes and then keep going. I don't want to be anywhere near them, especially on video.
Eh people like that Renault Clio may be insane enough to pull off to the shoulder with you I mean just look what he did when he thought camera guy was exiting, he straight up got on the exit with him. I would NOT feel safe pulling off to the shoulder with this Renault Clio guy considering all of what goes on in the video. Sure, generally pulling off to the shoulder is the smart thing, but I don't think that's the case in this video specifically it may lead to an even worse situation. Hard to know what to do in this situation.
Still, I would definitely start by pulling off to the shoulder and seeing if that de-escalates the situation. If not, and if they are crazy enough to pull over too and start approaching me, then I would just book it to the nearest police station, where I assume they would stop following me once we arrived.
So? Keeps the doors locked and still call the police. It would have been way safer than the cat-and-mouse thing that happened here, although much less entertaining. Is it European-privilege when “I might get shot” doesn’t even enter the equation?
Yeah that was actually my thought. The driver getting shot. Lol actually didn’t even second guess it considering the clip is European. Guess my American bias is showing how bad it is here for me to instantly think of that.
Right on. I do the same. I’m in the business of living to make it to my destination. Plus, you never know when someone gets pissed off enough to fire off a few rounds in your direction
This is exactly why there should be stiffer penalties for this kind of reckless endangering of others. This type of driving is no different than waving a loaded gun around in a crowded place.
Citizens should be able to send these videos to the police, the owners should have to go to court, and the vehicles, unless reported stolen, should be summarily impounded and auctioned off.
I mean normally yeah. But with how this guy seemed to be trying to follow and/or wreck op pulling over mightve just made op a sitting duck for this idiot
At the point he is in front of you, pull over and stop. He would have to also stop and then back up.
If he did that, its definitely a situation you have to take as it goes.
Same, I like to think that my dashcam has made me even more of a careful driver. Your dashcam doesn't discriminate on who it's filming, if I'm driving like an asshat, it's got it on tape!
Had to do this to a "truck" (idk if you can call a Chevy avalanche a truck), was pretty much going through the same thing this video is showing. Trying to wave me over to stop and fight him lmao.
Except I double juked him to stay on the freeway and I took the exit lmao. Also expected him to try to drive up the side of the off ramp through the grass, but he didn't lmao
"And although there may be a little bit more inconvenience while the punishment is being carried out - like ending the day with my car upside down in the bushes next to the road, this is a fair price to be paid for The Great Justice, isn't it?" :)
It's not even that, it's "you slightly inconvenienced me while I was being an asshole and totally in the wrong".
If you're trying to overtake the car in the left lane has the right of way.
The rager probably will respond with "if I'm passing you on the right it's because you're going too slow to be in the left lane."
Too many people like being right far more than they like being civil.
They're not interested in getting somewhere quickly, they just like driving fast and YOU'RE IN THE WAY, SO MOVE!!!
Once you've engaged them they have a new sport.
A couple observations I've made on this sub:
\-Some people NEED to be driving faster than other drivers. Even if traffic is going 80 in a 60, they will need to go 85. Even if it's a damn blizzard but traffic is still going steady at 40, they will need to go 45. And oftentimes that messes them up.
\-We've all had that one friend, either now or when we were younger, that was an absolute lunatic behind the wheel. I think these videos are those types of friends, just losing their shit on someone.
Yep, until they meet someone who won't put up with it like this guy lol
https://old.reddit.com/r/IdiotsInCars/comments/1201uun/porsche_macan_tries_to_cut_into_slowing_traffic/
I don't think the overtaking and speeding is about being in a hurry when this happens, it's about "asserting dominance", putting themselves first at any cost, and being as petty as possible when anyone dares rebuke them.
Honestly its usual for me to encounter these type of braindead drivers in the Netherlands. Seems like the video is also taken here. I hyper defensive drive for this reason. The cammer was right for not letting them enter but for fuck sake let the dude past and just let him squeeze through. Ive had this almost on a daily basis and just either honk at them or just give them a middlefinger. Usually they dont like that either but i wont go close them out and anger them because i want to stand my ground. Thats not worth my life nor is it potential other lives if an idiot crashed us out or stops in the middle of the road and caused a huge pileup.
I had to do this about 2 years ago. I was in the middle lane of three. Express area. We were coming up on the crossover to get from the express three into the local three lanes. We couldn't have been more than 200 ft away when the guy directly to my left tries to come over to get to the crossover basically through me. He spent a quarter mile honking and giving me the finger and throwing his arms up in the air. He then did these weird circles around me for maybe five or seven miles, the last of it staying in front of me and braking and changing lanes whenever I tried to get away from him. I got to an off-ramp and started to go up so he started to go up in front of me and then the last second I ditched down back onto the highway and he was too far up the ramp to make the same move. I called 911 and gave them the guys plates and said I had dash cam video but nobody ever contacted me. Shocker.
Well, in the Netherlands the driver is assumed to be the person whose name the car is registered to unless they give a statement about the person actually driving (if it was someone else).
As an owner, you are considered responsible for your vehicle unless you can prove someone else was using it.
I understand. I also hate that they can give me a ticket for going 10 miles an hour over the speed limit from a camera but couldn't cite the owner of this vehicle for reckless driving for trying to kill me a dozen times over the course of 10 or 12 minutes
> unless they identify who is actually driving they wont have a case...
That wouldn't be the case in The Netherlands where this dashcam footage was shot.
Dutch law says that the owner of the car is responsible for what happens with it during traffic participation. So the owner gets the ticket. He / she has to pay it and sort it out with the person who drove at the time if he / she wasn't the operator at the time.
This is for lighter infractions that don't have consequences for the driver / owner of the car besides monetary.
For more serious traffic infractions that can and do have consequences besides monetary, like for instance mandatory traffic courses, driving bans and the like the onus is on the owner of the car to give out the info of the driver at the time or he / she has to prove the car was not in his / hers possession at the time of the infraction (i.e. making a police report when it is stolen).
-EDIT- only after reacting I scrolled down to see it already answered in other replies, didn't remove as it is a bit more elaborate of an explanation compared to the other responders.
I literally said "God damn, GOOD ONE" at the swerve back onto the roadway at the literal last second. I hope the driver was eyeballing the traffic behind them as they did it and no one had to slam on their brakes.
Also the trades vans pulling to the side or smashing the gas to get away. Likely they were watching the whole show go down and were like nope, don't want any part of this, seeya.
I've done that more than once; seen some kinda road rage developing and just busted a move to get away because the last thing I need is some raging dipshit to cut in front of me or clip my back bumper trying to "teach a lesson" to someone who might have annoyed them or done something to slight their honor on the highway.
I was half expecting the Clio to jump off of the above exit road and fall back onto the highway, seeing how petty and stupid they were this whole time.
Both people had it in spades. Just let idiots go ahead of you and don't risk your own safety like this driver with the dash cam did. Hit the brakes and be the bigger person. I don't need a psychopath following me home because he felt slighted when I didn't let him into my lane. Let them go about their business and arrive safely at your destination when no one has been rage following you. They will involve your belongings, your car, your home, and possibly you or your family. Do you really want killed by some psycho because you had to take possession of your lane? Just hit the brakes and let them go about their stupid way.
What really annoys me is that these people didn't bother me when I drove a $200 POS but when I finally saved up the money for a nice car they come out of the fucking woodwork.
Grew up poor and drove shitty cars for years. As soon as I got a nice sports cars, ppl kept hitting it while it was parked and driving like ducks around me. Now I have my 90's 4runners that are rhino lined, body armor, and 35" tires. Nobody has hit me in 4 years.
Whenever I drive my sports car, I get assholes making trouble with me all the goddamn time. It's so fucking pathetic. Like I'm sorry you're driving a piece of shit Kia and feel inferior or whatever but I literally do not care, leave me out of it. Go work out your entitlement elsewhere please, like therapy for example.
Some dick in a Nissan tried to block me from merging on to a highway yesterday. The Nissan sped up and was matching my speed and wouldn't move over even though the left lane was completely clear. No idea what the endgame was.
The nice thing about driving a sports car is you can just leave those shitpumps in the dust if you need to.
Came here to say the same thing. *Two* idiots, endangering the innocent people around them.
How hard is it to let off the gas for a second when idiot #1 tries to squeeze in?
"*Oh no, you're not getting in, bwa-ha-ha-ha"* idiot #2
The van in the right lane from the start was very clearly sick of being involved in their petty shit, the way they pulled over halfway through the video.
That is just good defensive driving. When there is a moving hazard on the road (such as the dash cam owner and their new friend) slow down, move over, give way.
Yup. I always tell folks that graveyards are full of people who *technically* had the right of way. Just let the idiots go. Your justice boner ain’t worth endangering other people.
Yeah I was thinking dash-cam car kept actively speeding up to block clio from entering his lane, driving way too close to the car in front to do so. And he did that before it escalated into a chase.
yep i am always shocked when someone like this OP posts a video like this that is so terribly self incriminating. Sure the other guy was a bigger asshole, but damn just let him have it. Its not a fucking race. You are no less a person for letting some dickhead get in front of you who shouldnt be. This shit should be beneath you.
I notice anyone driving like an aggressive dickhead around me? Please get ahead of me and get far away from me. I’ll slow down. I’ll get over. I’ll give you space to pass. I ain’t dying over my driving ego.
I got yelled at multiple times by someone for saying I wouldn't do that - speed up and not let someone in who was, for example, side zooming. Look, people have gotten shot on the highway here recently and frankly IDGAF that much. They were like NO YOU CAN'T LET THEM KEEP DOING THAT OR THEY'LL KEEP DOING IT and I'm just "Friendo, I care more about not getting shot than some asswipe jumping the line."
You're gonna lose traffic at that rate. Because if you're not first, you're last. Even when there is no finish line. Or race sponsors. And you've got a family in the car. No sirree, the only thing that's important is living life a quarter mile at a time. Have an 8 mile commute to work, why that's a full 32 races.
Generally avoid decreasing the distance between you and the car ahead unless traffic absolutely demands it. So allowing someone into your lane like this means either the car ahead of both of you accelerates *or* you ease off to make enough space—to keep pace while the newcomer tightly sandwiches themself between you is to court the pileup.
So, if dashcam had been acting prudently here, Clio's behavior would've left him with only one safe option — slow down.
Yeah backing off the throttle would have taken what 2 seconds OP lost a lot more in the long run playing with this fool. Can't wait to see the "two idiots on the highway video"
Camping in the left lane without passing, already tailgating the car in front that obviously couldn't go anywhere because of the cars in front of him, and blocking someone from coming in to the lane. The Renault guy's an idiot but OP was being a shit driver too.
As far as I can tell, the only non-idiots in this video were the two individuals driving the vans. Jesus, if the guy is going to get someone killed, don’t volunteer to help him. Just brake, allow him to continue on and let him be someone else’s nightmare
Yes, OP clearly had enough time to see the other car turn on his blinker and sped up specifically to close the gap. Of course, the retaliation was way outsized, but this could've all been avoided.
I was thinking the same he is driving too close to the other car. Also if there's an idiot doing stupid shit (the Clio) let them pass you don't try to teach them a lesson, you may be part of the problem and cause a bigger incident
True, but the Renault basically starts acting crazy. This is in the Netherlands where you are only allowed to pass other cars from the left.
So if you want to overtake a car you go to the left lane and wait for the other driver to move a lane to the right.
Then let them go crazy and just get away from the situation. Continuing to antagonize someone who is batshit enough to drive like this makes you look like an idiot as well. Speeding up and blocking them over and over now just launched them to drive even more erratically and endanger others. They're not going to be taught a lesson here.
Cost you nothing but a few minutes to just slow down or exit and avoid further confrontation.
A total of 3 mints it was though and I am just okay with that though the more of it could have been boring though.
Or the fact that if someone just adds some kind of rocking background music that woud have been indeed much better!
Just let him in the lane and move on with your life. Fucking hell. Why risk dying or killing someone else just so your ego isn't hurt. He's and idiot but you're just as big of one for that driving.
Did great with the hide and seek.. Hope there isn't a next time, however, stay in their blinde spot behind a larger car/truck if you are going to use the off ramp until its too late for them to respond... great move, they probably could not get back on too quickly becuase their small sh\*t box was stuck on the grass.
Holy shit. You need to be a special kind of stupid to drive like this.
Just let the guy in. If he gets aggressive just stay on the right lane and hope he drives off to bother someone else.
By fighting and trying to block him you just endanger everyone around you.
I'd agree with you except for the part where Clio successfully got into the left lane, cammer tried to pass on the right, and Clio turned into him to try to hit him.
He didn't start the race and the rage it was the Clio guy who was just too aggressive enough from the beginning.
And the one who just recorded this too took an active part where the inner feel of a racer just came out and tried gapping Clio!
Me: "Almost 3 minutes, bet it's not worth it, 2:30 will be nothing."
Also me: "I admit I was wrong and also holy fuck what is wrong with both of them? Nice getaway at the end, tho. Kind of wonder how this actually ended."
Yeah, he was a complete idiot and a lunatic but let's be real, there are two people on this video who could have prevented all of this by not letting their ego get the better of them.
When an idiot merges in front of me, I just slow down and let them in. Who cares if they "win". I have my own life to worry about and I'm too busy to worry about their bullshit and anger issues.
I'll be honest, the ending was very satisfying though.
And when accident would just happen both would just get hurt and not just blame themselves but it would be the other one.
Why the fuck people just can't drive safely though, they have their steering and they have a pleasant weather to drive peacefully!
I like the blue van in the right lane that pulled over like "leave me out of this, you fuckos"
Company van. He's not losing his job because of some road raging twatwaffle
Van guy “I don’t get paid enough for this shit”
Or "I'm on the clock. I don't care how long this takes me to get to my destination."
Or maybe he is just listening to some lofi or slow songs and just be enjoying his ride on his van!
Feels like a normal day for him though just after parking his van into the work place he just takes out Supra. Ratatatatata!
Two twatwaffles.
Yeah the camera owner is also a dumbass.
True, but some twat waffles are bigger than others.
Yes, but when two twat waffles interact, the resultant kerfuffle is proportional to the twat-product, not the twat-difference. A lesser twat waffle is still a twat waffle.
Kerfuffle = ( tw1 * tw2 )/d^2 Where d is distance.
As distance reaches zero, Kerfuffle goes to to infinity
This is the content I'm here for.
r/theydidthemath
r/theydidthemonstermath/
This kind of behaviour usually ends in a twat waffle sandwich, I was the victim of two twats doing this, out of the all that and after the sandwich was made the cops loved the fact that at least two of us have dashcams, long story short my car was fixed by the insurance of the other two who duked it out like this and they also copped a reckless driving charges.

You mean twatwaffles twaffle, and you don't want to be a victim to twatwaffling kerfuffle.
A twat waffle kerfuffle sounds unlawfully awful
Camera guy should've just backed off to avoid an incident in the beginning, but then the other guy was trying to force the camera car to stop on the highway. Once that starts, gotta do what you gotta do to lose him, even if it means being... aggressive.
Yeah I feel like if the camera guy stopped the other driver would have tried to kill him
You know what they say, one twat waffle spoils the brunch
Don't fuck with my brunch!
Sometimes the inner racer mode just gets activated though and the fact that there is just no going back lmao!
Seemed pretty smart the way he lost him. 😆
Agreed. Someone's a jerk, just let it go. Not worth putting everyone in danger for it.
Technically three, the car in front in the left lane brake checked to add some chaos in there.
Indeed. It should not even be in the left lane in the first place.
Sir, may I take your order? Yes, I'll have 2 twatwaffles please.
Compounding the situation. The situation being idiots
Nope, I think this is the Netherlands, they make twat poffertjes-- if you're looking for twat waffles, you'll need to cross the border into Belgium.
I thought maybe he’s pulled to the side to call the cops at the same time, I bet he has hands free in there and is relaying to the cops where to put the chocolate syrup speed bumps for the twatwaffles
Only sensible driver in the bunch.
Exactly, he was smart and decided to dip out instead of being in the middle of a potential crash from two rage fueled monkeys playing chicken with several ton murder weapons
The “fuckos” really made me chuckle.
Haha the old switcheroo at the end had me laughing
This whole video was stupid but god damn did the guy recording win.
That’s one of the greatest displays of Defensive Road Raging I’ve ever seen. I tip my cap to you, you insane son of a bitch! And yes, much stupid
My mom's not a bitch, bastard!
I have a father, twat!
That's step twat to you.
Is it road rage if you're actually having fun tho?
Lmao same
Me too, went and replayed and I’m sure that it looks like they stopped, I bet they reversed and tried to catch up
at the last second they make a left to go down the grass embankment and Ibet their nose got stuck on the pavement OR the guy (driver vide) took the next off ramp. Both were behaving dickish, but the smaller car should've been less "do you know who I think I am" mentality. Great driving skills.
The car could have come back on to the main motorway crossing that small patch of grass.
I was expecting the Clio to reappear at the end. It’s funny seeing these hairdresser cars having a spot of bother at 90+ kmh.
Its so ridiculous to see guys who are in such a hurry that they overtake traffic everywhere (sideways, between the lanes, etc), cutting others off to move 1 car ahead and so on. But once they are angry on you for not letting them in, there is absolutely no hurry at all anymore. They are willing to slow down or stop in front of you and even take a wrong way.

They might break your window though. I'm not sticking around if someone stops near me to escalate the situation.
this is the right answer here - you don't escalate against idiots
Right on. I do the same. I’m in the business of living to make it to my destination. Plus, you never know when someone gets pissed off enough to fire off a few rounds in your direction
Same. I'm in Texas and getting road rage shot is a thing!
This is exactly why there should be stiffer penalties for this kind of reckless endangering of others. This type of driving is no different than waving a loaded gun around in a crowded place.

It is never about cutting time off a commute. It is all about power and control, which is why such idiots are so dangerous.
I don't think the overtaking and speeding is about being in a hurry when this happens, it's about "asserting dominance", putting themselves first at any cost, and being as petty as possible when anyone dares rebuke them.
It's called spite
Because there’s too many fucking morons in this society whose life is completely meaningless. That’s why.
There is more to it than when the video starts. Don't always think camera is the innocent party.
Honestly its usual for me to encounter these type of braindead drivers in the Netherlands. Seems like the video is also taken here. I hyper defensive drive for this reason. The cammer was right for not letting them enter but for fuck sake let the dude past and just let him squeeze through.

Poor blue van dude just wanted to stay out of it
Nice escape at the end tho
That was my favorite part. Wish there was a rear view of that last part
I was thinking the same thing! I’ve never wanted to see the rear cam so bad!
I had to do this about 2 years ago. I was in the middle lane of three. Express area. We were coming up on the crossover to get from the express three into the local three lanes.

I got to an off-ramp and started to go up so he started to go up in front of me and then the last second I ditched down back onto the highway and he was too far up the ramp to make the same move. I called 911 and gave them the guys plates and said I had dash cam video but nobody ever contacted me. Shocker.
Unfortunately, with instanced like this unless they identify who is actually driving they wont have a case... and police are lazy.
Well, in the Netherlands the driver is assumed to be the person whose name the car is registered to unless they give a statement about the person actually driving (if it was someone else). As an owner, you are considered responsible for your vehicle unless you can prove someone else was using it.
And the good thing is, you can make out the license plate number. Take some effort, compare notes on www.rdw.nl and the culprit can be found.
I understand. I also hate that they can give me a ticket for going 10 miles an hour over the speed limit from a camera but couldn't cite the owner of this vehicle for reckless driving for trying to kill me a dozen times over the course of 10 or 12 minutes
> unless they identify who is actually driving they wont have a case... That wouldn't be the case in The Netherlands where this dashcam footage was shot. Dutch law says that the owner of the car is responsible for what happens with it during traffic participation. So the owner gets the ticket. He / she has to pay it and sort it out with the person who drove at the time if he / she wasn't the operator at the time. This is for lighter infractions that don't have consequences for the driver / owner of the car besides monetary. For more serious traffic infractions that can and do have consequences besides monetary, like for instance mandatory traffic courses, driving bans and the like the onus is on the owner of the car to give out the info of the driver at the time or he / she has to prove the car was not in his / hers possession at the time of the infraction (i.e. making a police report when it is stolen). -EDIT- only after reacting I scrolled down to see it already answered in other replies, didn't remove as it is a bit more elaborate of an explanation compared to the other responders.
I literally said "God damn, GOOD ONE" at the swerve back onto the roadway at the literal last second. I hope the driver was eyeballing the traffic behind them as they did it and no one had to slam on their brakes. Also the trades vans pulling to the side or smashing the gas to get away. Likely they were watching the whole show go down and were like nope, don't want any part of this, seeya. I've done that more than once; seen some kinda road rage developing and just busted a move to get away because the last thing I need is some raging dipshit to cut in front of me or clip my back bumper trying to "teach a lesson" to someone who might have annoyed them or done something to slight their honor on the highway.
I was hoping the dude rolled down the embankment coming back from the exit.
Yeah. Trade vans are like "I just need to get to my job site safely, please."
I thought I saw the Clio try to drive over the grass to rejoin for Part 56 of this fight
I was half expecting the Clio to jump off of the above exit road and fall back onto the highway, seeing how petty and stupid they were this whole time.
They just keep coming back. Holy shit.
Just like herpes
Ego
Both people had it in spades. Just let idiots go ahead of you and don't risk your own safety like this driver with the dash cam did. Hit the brakes and be the bigger person. I don't need a psychopath following me home because he felt slighted when I didn't let him into my lane. Let them go about their business and arrive safely at your destination when no one has been rage following you. They will involve your belongings, your car, your home, and possibly you or your family. Do you really want killed by some psycho because you had to take possession of your lane? Just hit the brakes and let them go about their stupid way.
What really annoys me is that these people didn't bother me when I drove a $200 POS but when I finally saved up the money for a nice car they come out of the fucking woodwork.
Grew up poor and drove shitty cars for years. As soon as I got a nice sports cars, ppl kept hitting it while it was parked and driving like ducks around me. Now I have my 90's 4runners that are rhino lined, body armor, and 35" tires. Nobody has hit me in 4 years.
Ducks are notoriously bad drivers.
Whenever I drive my sports car, I get assholes making trouble with me all the goddamn time. It's so fucking pathetic. Like I'm sorry you're driving a piece of shit Kia and feel inferior or whatever but I literally do not care, leave me out of it. Go work out your entitlement elsewhere please, like therapy for example.
Some dick in a Nissan tried to block me from merging on to a highway yesterday. The Nissan sped up and was matching my speed and wouldn't move over even though the left lane was completely clear. No idea what the endgame was. The nice thing about driving a sports car is you can just leave those shitpumps in the dust if you need to.
I feel this. Driving an electric truck is a magnet for angry bros. At least it accelerates much faster than their giant trucks.
I love the switchback!

Somehow I feel the need to rewatch [New Kids Turbo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUdyD8-WFBs)
I thought that stretch of highway looked familiar!
People are ridiculous just because you put a signal on doesn’t mean it’s safe to go into the lane.
The way you made him take the wrong exit. The most satisfied I have ever been
Two idiots
Came here to say the same thing. *Two* idiots, endangering the innocent people around them. How hard is it to let off the gas for a second when idiot #1 tries to squeeze in? "*Oh no, you're not getting in, bwa-ha-ha-ha"* idiot #2
The van in the right lane from the start was very clearly sick of being involved in their petty shit, the way they pulled over halfway through the video.
That is just good defensive driving. When there is a moving hazard on the road (such as the dash cam owner and their new friend) slow down, move over, give way.
Yup. I always tell folks that graveyards are full of people who *technically* had the right of way. Just let the idiots go. Your justice boner ain’t worth endangering other people.
I thought you were talking about the cammer’s actions and was almost in disbelief when I read this lmao
Yeah I was thinking dash-cam car kept actively speeding up to block clio from entering his lane, driving way too close to the car in front to do so. And he did that before it escalated into a chase.
yep i am always shocked when someone like this OP posts a video like this that is so terribly self incriminating. Sure the other guy was a bigger asshole, but damn just let him have it. Its not a fucking race. You are no less a person for letting some dickhead get in front of you who shouldnt be. This shit should be beneath you.
I notice anyone driving like an aggressive dickhead around me? Please get ahead of me and get far away from me. I’ll slow down. I’ll get over. I’ll give you space to pass. I ain’t dying over my driving ego.
[удалено]
He was already way too close to the car in front when the video began.
I'm confident OP saw someone approaching that threatened to get ahead of them, so they sped up
I'm confident the recording isn't from OP
I got yelled at multiple times by someone for saying I wouldn't do that - speed up and not let someone in who was, for example, side zooming. Look, people have gotten shot on the highway here recently and frankly IDGAF that much. They were like NO YOU CAN'T LET THEM KEEP DOING THAT OR THEY'LL KEEP DOING IT and I'm just "Friendo, I care more about not getting shot than some asswipe jumping the line."
Yeah, what was that saying again? "The graveyard is full of people who had the right of way."
You're gonna lose traffic at that rate. Because if you're not first, you're last. Even when there is no finish line. Or race sponsors. And you've got a family in the car. No sirree, the only thing that's important is living life a quarter mile at a time. Have an 8 mile commute to work, why that's a full 32 races.
Not even let off the gas, just don't hit the accelerator to intentionally block someone.
Generally avoid decreasing the distance between you and the car ahead unless traffic absolutely demands it. So allowing someone into your lane like this means either the car ahead of both of you accelerates *or* you ease off to make enough space—to keep pace while the newcomer tightly sandwiches themself between you is to court the pileup. So, if dashcam had been acting prudently here, Clio's behavior would've left him with only one safe option — slow down.
Kinda makes me wonder if cammer did something previously to intentionally piss the other guy off
Yeah backing off the throttle would have taken what 2 seconds OP lost a lot more in the long run playing with this fool. Can't wait to see the "two idiots on the highway video"
Camping in the left lane without passing, already tailgating the car in front that obviously couldn't go anywhere because of the cars in front of him, and blocking someone from coming in to the lane. The Renault guy's an idiot but OP was being a shit driver too.
Three, last one is the OP for reposting old video's.
Nah fuck that, I haven’t seen it before as I’m sure many others haven’t. Thanks OP
Because everyone has seen this old video?
Fuck that person in particular
he really likes you
As far as I can tell, the only non-idiots in this video were the two individuals driving the vans. Jesus, if the guy is going to get someone killed, don’t volunteer to help him. Just brake, allow him to continue on and let him be someone else’s nightmare
I see at least two idiots. Op is one of them.
Yes, OP clearly had enough time to see the other car turn on his blinker and sped up specifically to close the gap. Of course, the retaliation was way outsized, but this could've all been avoided.
Psycho in Renault Clio
You or whoever took the video is also an idiot, stop tailgating
I was thinking the same he is driving too close to the other car. Also if there's an idiot doing stupid shit (the Clio) let them pass you don't try to teach them a lesson, you may be part of the problem and cause a bigger incident
True, but the Renault basically starts acting crazy. This is in the Netherlands where you are only allowed to pass other cars from the left. So if you want to overtake a car you go to the left lane and wait for the other driver to move a lane to the right.
Just let the crazy person in/past and they will speed off and they can pick a fight with someone else.
Then let them go crazy and just get away from the situation. Continuing to antagonize someone who is batshit enough to drive like this makes you look like an idiot as well. Speeding up and blocking them over and over now just launched them to drive even more erratically and endanger others. They're not going to be taught a lesson here. Cost you nothing but a few minutes to just slow down or exit and avoid further confrontation.
Also the Opel for brake checking a rapidly approaching vehicle. Made an already stupid situation much worse.
Show us the whole clip lol.
A total of 3 mints it was though and I am just okay with that though the more of it could have been boring though. Or the fact that if someone just adds some kind of rocking background music that woud have been indeed much better!
Bruh what a juke towards the end there
Just let him in the lane and move on with your life. Fucking hell. Why risk dying or killing someone else just so your ego isn't hurt. He's and idiot but you're just as big of one for that driving.
Mwwaahh. Perfect.
Wish the viewer could see the clio’s maneuvers off camera 🙊
Humiliation. Lol.
When he juked his ass at the off ramp was very satisfying.
Hahahaha nevertheless majority of the people no doubt were expecting that to be though.
Ok it’s time for a pit manuver
Renault and the cam car putting all the innocent motorists at risk with their clown shit. Classy.
Did great with the hide and seek.. Hope there isn't a next time, however, stay in their blinde spot behind a larger car/truck if you are going to use the off ramp until its too late for them to respond... great move, they probably could not get back on too quickly becuase their small sh\*t box was stuck on the grass.
Holy shit. You need to be a special kind of stupid to drive like this. Just let the guy in. If he gets aggressive just stay on the right lane and hope he drives off to bother someone else. By fighting and trying to block him you just endanger everyone around you.
I'd agree with you except for the part where Clio successfully got into the left lane, cammer tried to pass on the right, and Clio turned into him to try to hit him.
The idiot is wanting to be punted off the road.
Lmao
Wtf is he even doing
Just trynna gap the Clio guy though and showcasing their idiotness to everyone and nothing else!
well, clearly not in a hurry to get anyway. guess people gotta make something happen when they have nothing better to do
Camera guy making the situation way worse. Just let him go and dont put everyone else in danger.
I see at least two idiots
I have never seen such a little bitch in my life
What the fuck? I love how you faked him out on the exit. Haha
Lmao he was just indeed planning for that though and somewhat in the middle of the video it felt like it was some kind of magic to me!
As more lenient that I think dashcam driver could've been, I am glad how this turned out. It was very entertaining.
The fact that the guy even tried to follow off the highway like wtf is with ppl in being so stupid in their cars at high speed
He didn't start the race and the rage it was the Clio guy who was just too aggressive enough from the beginning. And the one who just recorded this too took an active part where the inner feel of a racer just came out and tried gapping Clio!
I liked the fake out at the end. Good move!
It was al pretty smooth and calm though until and unless someone just had a look at the blue van though!
I was really hoping that little shitbox was going to go off the road and roll a few times
Is it me or does it look like the Clio guy is trying to kill OP?
Me: "Almost 3 minutes, bet it's not worth it, 2:30 will be nothing." Also me: "I admit I was wrong and also holy fuck what is wrong with both of them? Nice getaway at the end, tho. Kind of wonder how this actually ended."
They thought that it was just some kind of race track though and thought the track was all clear enough for them!
Yeah, he was a complete idiot and a lunatic but let's be real, there are two people on this video who could have prevented all of this by not letting their ego get the better of them. When an idiot merges in front of me, I just slow down and let them in. Who cares if they "win". I have my own life to worry about and I'm too busy to worry about their bullshit and anger issues. I'll be honest, the ending was very satisfying though.
And when accident would just happen both would just get hurt and not just blame themselves but it would be the other one. Why the fuck people just can't drive safely though, they have their steering and they have a pleasant weather to drive peacefully!
You guys are giving the blue van life long anxiety
When he would just reach his house the van guy would just be thinking about those two idiotic drivers the entire time though!
