Anonymous Coward User ID: 84355869 United States 03/31/2023 09:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Two tractor-trailers took over a Louisiana highway in an apparent road rage incident, leading to an arrest, the Desoto Parish Sheriff’s Office said. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85523741 On March 28, a video began circulating on social media showing two tractor-trailers on a Louisiana highway appearing to try and hit one another, driving from side-to-side on the road. The video, originally taken by someone in a vehicle behind the tractor-trailers, showed the two trucks veering towards each other and then running off the road.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 85534128 United States 03/31/2023 10:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When semis are running parallel down the road the driver in the right lane is required to slow down and let the driver in the left hand lane get ahead of him . Looks like he wasn’t having any of that… Quoting: Desert Oasis In practice, that is very dangerous when used as an excuse to behave as an asshole. ONLY when a change in the steady state of traffic flow occurs should the right lane slow to accommodate merge from left. The lane to the left should be maintaining a higher speed than the lane to the right. That looked like fairly clear highway, 2 lanes. A passing vehicle should clear the vehicle to the right in about 30 seconds to get ahead a safe distance to merge back into a lane to the right. This is a sort of rhythm of safe speeds and distances. Obviously there was a disagreement in rhythm. |

The cars and crossovers keep their distance from these powerful creatures as they perform this incredibly risky routine. And here comes a challenger. He will now compete for the right to mate with this female semitruck." okie |

User ID: 74170369 United States 03/31/2023 11:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It happens regularly on I-5 here in Kommifornia. Big rigs get into pissing contests on the hills south of Tracy. One will be in the right lane doing 55 MPH, and the other will be in the left lane doing 55.5 MPH. Traffic stacking up behind them. Idiots. I've been married so long, I don't even look both ways when I cross the street. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84805712 That and a lot of those Indian imports. Don't get me started on the Nigerian ones. The eastern European ones can be just as bad. The mega carriers are responsible for lobbying for these shitty third world drivers to come here. |

User ID: 84277825 United States 03/31/2023 12:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Saturday morning a couple of weeks ago, around 6AM I was East of S'port on I-20. 2 big rigs were blocking the flow of traffic ridding side by side, going slow. I was a few cars back but when we came to an entrance ramp I jumped over in that lane & blew past them on the right. They continued ridding side by side, not letting anyone pass, until we could no longer see them. Assholes! |
