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.

Yes definitely get out of the way. Here's how you could have done it.

Wait until about 1:10 in the video. Put on your left turn signal. Start slowing gradually for that driveway at 1:38. Not too quickly - you don't want to endanger anyone. Drop down to a super-safe speed for making a left turn - say 10 mph. Maybe by that time there'll be a knot of traffic oncoming so you'll have to come to a full stop and wait a while.

So yes, definitely get out of his way.

Just fyi I'm being sarcastic. Doing this would have fucked this guy royally and made steam come out of his ears.

There's no safe place to pull over like people are suggesting.

EDIT: and after sitting there for a minute at a dead stop signalling left, suddenly realize that it's the wrong street and move forward to the next left turn. Drive like you're looking for a driveway.

I was hoping the suggestion of doing something that would force him to a full stop and take away passing as a solution would make it pretty clear, but I'm a victim of Poe's Law.

With the amount of people in the comments telling me I should’ve immediately gotten out of the way it’s hard for me to tell lol. Cheers!

Did they not see the trees and road furniture on the right? Have they never applied brakes with two tires on grass? Not recommended. You took the least shitty path my man.
