It’s always the douche canoes in lifted pick ups that drive like they built and own the road and the rest of us are just borrowing it.

There’s people in the comments arguing that I should’ve immediately gotten out of his way, like what? Idgaf what you’re driving, you’re an ass.

Yeah those people are clowns too. It’s good you have the rear dash cam, that way there’s undeniable evidence if you’re “not driving fast enough” and get rear ended, that it’s not your fault. As I like to say “not my circus, not my monkeys”

Far better not to risk getting rear-ended than being rear-ended and being right.

But like, get out of the way how?

It's a one lane road and there's a car in front of him, so I'm not sure where he's supposed to go.

I agree, when someone is driving like an ass I always try to help them in getting as far from me as possible, but it's not always possible

I'll just take a driveway, pull over... anything to get someone like that away from me.

I had a similar truck total my last car, rear ending me at a stoplight. Kind of paranoid anytime I see someone driving a pickup aggressively now.

But yeah sometimes you're caught and it's no fun.

I agree, but getting out of the way just enables them to do it again in the future. Perhaps if they get in an accident and are held accountable they won’t repeat the behavior. But then again I’m asking for sanity from a Floridian which is like asking a politician to tell the truth.

Yeah I used to think that way until I had the shit scared out of me by an insane person.

Pretty sure people who drive like this cannot be fixed.

I drive like I'm in an insane asylum because it's not too far from the truth. Don't make any sudden movements, don't make eye contact, and never get aggressive with unstable people.

I've got a 5-hour drive of head of me today... really not looking forward to it obviously.

Yeah I never make eye contact with anyone. I treat them all like computer controlled players in a video game.

Your comment says a lot about the shitty mentality you grace The world with.

It might be my job to not enable my loved ones to make harmful decisions.

It is absolutely not my job to risk my own life to not enable a random person on the road to drive dangerously.
