This. The Z driver was committing a minor traffic infraction holding up the left lane. The truck driver committed a felony, whether he would be charged with attempted murder or assault with a deadly weapon. They were both ********, but the truck driver was a much, much bigger one. One deserves a ticket, the other jail time.

I agree with you. However, I was once stuck behind two morons with modified Civics pacing each other intentionally on a two-lane highway. Under the speed limit. They were blocking about 10 other cars from proceeding ahead. I have to say...for a second, I thought about passing them on the shoulder. Obviously, I didn't...but I have to tell ya, my blood was boiling enough to do something rash.

Looks to me like the driver in the right lane was being stupid as well,the z driver was probably passing the car in the right and that driver sped up to avoid being passed. there for forcing the z driver to drive an even faster speed than he wanted to. At hat point the pickup was tailgating so close that the z driver was in a bad spot.
I see it all the time being that I am a commercial truck driver and my truck is set at 65mph max speed. I could be passing someone on the right and suddenly they sppeed up just enough to be along side me pissing off the traffic behind me. People are stupid.

The video doesn't show what lead up to the incident, so it's just speculation what the car driver was doing.

More than once, I've gone to pass someone and they will speed up a little bit (in most cases, I doubt if it's intentional). Next thing I know, somebody (who is speeding) is closing fast from the rear. I'll usually speed up a bit to get out of the way but, if they are tail-gating, I'll maintain speed (not suggesting that that is the best alternative; I do a lot of things that aren't good for me.)

Lots of stupid drivers out there. Everyone needs to drive defensively, including the guy in the right lane (by slowing down if need be). It's unclear how fast the Z was passing. If vehicle in outside lane is doing 55 and Z is passing at 56, there's a problem. Truck driver had a short fuse and it didn't take much to set him off.

It's the same as if you're driving in the far outside lane and see a car ahead about to merge to the highway. Assuming left or middle lane is open, you move over. Same for the car in the middle or left lane - move over so the guy in the right lane can move over. Goes back to basic driver's ed, courtesy and being aware of what's going on around you at all times.

Traffic was crawling on the interstate yesterday because of 2 accidents up ahead. Although I was in our slushbox honda, I still drove the same as if I was in my 6mt. Kept good following distance in the right lane lane and barely had to ride the brakes, controlling speed with throttle. A few cars behind rode my bumper then passed. They were bothered that I wasn't riding the bumper of the car in front. Eventually a semi settled behind and did the same thing I was.

We need the government to enact more strict car control. Please run our daily lives more Hillary! ��❤️��

I tried offensively because defensive driving is just waiting for it to happen where as I get the hell out of Dodge before it happens.
