I mean. Going to the police with dashcam footage of some idiot doing clearly illegal and stupid things on the road should be a thing. Like they should get mailed a ticket if u have dashcam footage of somebody breaking the law and their registration. The only argument against it is deepfaking a registration to spite someone
Guaranteed on their phone too. I've often wondered the legalities of having a second, much louder horn on my truck just to scare the hell out of people like that.
He then went on the Next Door app and explained how he saved lives by brilliantly keeping everyone driving at a pace that was safe. He ended his post with “be safe out there” and the peace sign emoji.
I don’t even understand how and where people get the time and energy from to be such a dick. What do they gain that makes them think it’s worth their time to frustrate literally everything around you by doing stuff like this?
This is the kind of driver that you follow to their destination, pull out your emergency window breaker, break into their car. Pull the emergency break up, grab your trusty angle grinder and saw off through their e-brake. So they could never get it unstuck again. Doing the world a fucking favor.
I'm a really, really chilled person. I've literally had one fist fight in the past 25 years (and that was because of an unprovoked attack by a crazy on my mum).
Korea has an app that you can use to submit a time stamped dash cam video of traffic violations and they will send a violation notice and a fine to the offending drivers. Gives people another avenue to vent aside from road rage.
I call 911 and tell them I suspect the driver is drunk. I give them make, model, color, mile marker, and direction. If there's a cop nearby they pull them over.
My state in India also has this system. Works well. Tweet a photo/video of drivers committing offences with their tag numbers, tag the Twitter handle of the concerned authority and they'll get violation notice asap.
I hope he gets a cop who will give him a hard to perform sobriety test, and fails him just so he can drag the POS back to the police station. If anyone deserves police tyranny, it's these assholes.
Someone that drives like that seems so self-absorbed and self entitled it would never cross their mind that anyone might think they were a wanker instead of a hero
A while ago on this site it was common to see posts explaining that highway traffic typically moves in waves and that the best way to eliminate this traffic on a given road is to "reset" it by allowing a gap to open by bringing all lanes to a stop and then then slowly accelerating through the gap.
Incredibly conservative with the horn in my opinion. Would have held it down the whole time and laughing my ass off because using the horn 100% for something like that makes it even better.
Hell yeah, I love laying on the horn when people are stupid. I did it to a lady who got in the intersection when there was nowhere to go and blocked a lane for an entire green light. She flipped me off. It was great.
I happened to experience something almost exactly the same and i just held the horn for probably 15-20 minutes and the driver only seemed to slow more down, we were driving in a single lane road near the mountain Esja in Iceland and there was so much traffic the other way that nobody could get passed, when i finally got passed i saw 4 teenagers all looking baked as fuck.
I used to live near the west loop and would see this exact car weekly on my commute from work. What people here don’t know is that they’re like the ice cream man. I would see them pull up to the bus stop at Damen and Van Buren and make a few quick sales. There would be a hand full of tweakers waiting for the bus, car pulls up, tweakers buy from the guy in the back seat, car drives off and most of the tweakers jump on the north bound bus. They used that Infiniti and also a black Cadillac. I moved out of Chicago a few years ago and know this is an older video cause of the barriers on the interstate. I would assume they’re still making their rounds.
I recognize this drive - it's in Chicago. Cops got enough to do around here and won't do anything for this, other than berate the poster for wasting their time.
The ironic thing is this guy thinks he’s a better driver than everyone else and wants to enforce his ideas on other drivers through the medium of being a dick. As others have said, it probably won’t end well for him.
I honked at a guy not giving me enough space one dark night - refused to pass me but kept less than 30 cm away from my back bumper - he was so mad to get honked at, HE TURNED HIS BRIGHTS ON lmao. Never seen shit like that. I was going 10 over the speed limit, at first, but he was eating my ass so I went the speed limit after that. Imagine being so soft, going the speed limit is enough to trigger road rage.
That’s exactly why I love having a beater. However I’m Canadian and don’t generally have a worry about being shot in a bout of road rage, this being Chicago I’d probably keep my distance. Maybe just call police but from the comments here doesn’t sound like they’d even respond to a drunk driver lol
It is a crime in Germany, it’s called “Nötigung im Straßenverkehr” and can be sanctioned with up to three years (!) in jail. As soon as you are enforcing your will onto others (pushing from behind or acting like this guy) one just needs to film and present the video to police. It should be added that in most cases only a (hefty) fine is given, you have to push it pretty hard to end up in jail for three years. Nevertheless, I really like this rule.
I live in Chicago but have spent months working in Atlanta. Driving in Atlanta makes me hate myself and everyone around me, holy shit. Drivers in Chicago are aggressive assholes but they're so, so much more predictable on average than the drivers in ATL. And I couldn't avoid driving in ATL like I can in Chicago nearly as easily.
Fuckers like this are the reason I'm so glad to have access to mass transit. I love driving cars, but fucking hate with a furious passion other drivers. And enough of them are terrible enough to make it miserable.
When I got a motorcycle and started cutting through traffic I found out that there are a bunch of these people out there. Sometimes I would work my way out and look back and wonder if it was some sort of conspiracy.
Same. Being small and agile enough to weave through these assholes has given a much clearer picture on the causes of normal everyday traffic. It's usually one of these guys, or some prick who decides that he absolutely cannot miss his exit, and he will stop completely in the middle of the highway with his blinker on and wait for people to let him over.
Should have called up 911 for a drink or possibly impaired driver. When I was a military cop we had instance like this, everyone was just speeding around him and flipping shit but it turned out once we got the guy pulled over he was having a stroke. Lol
Honestly I would be tempted to call the police. They are either complete assholes, or there’re drunk or high. Slowing down and hitting your brakes like that is a big no no on the freeway. They can cause an accident and kill someone. This is why driving is a privilege and not a right.
I need to see what they look like... It is a desperate need to look at people like this with a stern look of disapproval and see if they look as stupid as they drive.
There are usually laws against obstructing traffic and have rules where you have to pull over and let a line of cars pass if you’re going slower than the normal flow of traffic. In Washington it’s 5 or more cars. Don’t know what it is where this was filmed but I imagine most places have a similar law.
It's 290 east going to downtown Chicago. This area of the highway induces more road rage for me than anywhere else combined. If a live stream video was set up at this intersection you would lose faith in humanity. So many assholes making illegal moves.
I assumed traffic vigilante who wants to make certain absolutely everyone drives slowly through the construction zone. But insurance scam could work too.

Infuriating driver indeed. I looked up the license plate, Illinois BM 37958 at
This is the catharsis I needed after watching this. Thank you.
Damn dude showed us the carfax fr
You're a hero to us all
You need to be hired as an investigative journalist here lol
This must be what heroin feels like
Good work detective. Proud to have you on the force
[удалено]
I went down a rabbit hole looking up past cars I've owned. Never knew anything like this existed wow!
Fuck that guy right in the ear
Don't mind if I do
The man from Nantucket has entered the chat
He’d probably hear you coming
Imagine driving a Truck and someone pulls some BS like this. I'm running them off the road.
This was incredibly frustrating to watch. I am filled with rage
Not alone I could feel my blood pressure rising while watching them drive
I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
You know its bad when you have road rage sitting on the couch.
I’m not a violent person but man I instantly wanted to fight and it’s not even happening to me
I’m not typically someone who gets road rage, but I’m with you — just watching this made my blood boil.
I mean. Going to the police with dashcam footage of some idiot doing clearly illegal and stupid things on the road should be a thing. Like they should get mailed a ticket if u have dashcam footage of somebody breaking the law and their registration. The only argument against it is deepfaking a registration to spite someone
God damn indeed. The urge to push them aside is sooooo high hahaha
I hate him so… much… it, it, flames…flames, on the side of my face… breathing … breath, heaving…
It's only 630, I can't be this upset this early
This makes me want to cause a war crime
And these people are what cause road rage shootings. Not that it is right but man, I can understand.
Me before: "OMG how does souch violence happen in the US every day?"
Guaranteed on their phone too. I've often wondered the legalities of having a second, much louder horn on my truck just to scare the hell out of people like that.
Especially when he starts to cut off the OOP driver again! Like quit being offended someone is trying to pass you!
He then went on the Next Door app and explained how he saved lives by brilliantly keeping everyone driving at a pace that was safe. He ended his post with “be safe out there” and the peace sign emoji.
Yup and it was on purpose.

Eyebleach
The vein on my forehead visibly protruded just seeing this, whilst my right foot pressed into the ground.
I don’t even understand how and where people get the time and energy from to be such a dick. What do they gain that makes them think it’s worth their time to frustrate literally everything around you by doing stuff like this?
Today, I finally get to be an ASSHOLE! IT'S MY TIME TO ASS NOW!
Frustrating for sure! I dont normally get very upset on the road but this made me very angry
Despite all your rage are you still just a rat in a cage?
I don't even drive and that makes me wanna commit a crime
I knew this was bad and my dads respone when I showed him was "I think I need to install a reinforced bumber for this kind of people specifically"
This has to be illegal, I wonder if this guy can be given a ticket, or even better arrested. People like this guy cause accidents.
I watched this thinking it's good I don't own weapons. This is such rage inducing bullshit😂
I have anxiety and would overthink it. I'm not scared of violence, i just abhor it.
I know right? I'd be contemplating how much I'd be willing to pay for the damages from pulling a pit maneuver
[удалено]
I think we figured out how to solve Chicago’s crime issue.
He needs his ass beat like a 12 year old that does pranks for tik tok
This is the kind of driver that you follow to their destination, pull out your emergency window breaker, break into their car. Pull the emergency break up, grab your trusty angle grinder and saw off through their e-brake. So they could never get it unstuck again. Doing the world a fucking favor.
I drive on quiet country roads 99.9 percent of my driving unless something forces me into the city. And I still wouldn't do this shit.
That’s how road rage starts
Usually I think "just stay it's not worth it" but this time I would totally understand if the camera man just fucking rammed this idiot.
I'm a really, really chilled person. I've literally had one fist fight in the past 25 years (and that was because of an unprovoked attack by a crazy on my mum).
I feel like the rage started before this video began
I’ve got road rage just watching.
This is where Street Justice starts. Fuck that van.
Korea has an app that you can use to submit a time stamped dash cam video of traffic violations and they will send a violation notice and a fine to the offending drivers. Gives people another avenue to vent aside from road rage.
report button in real life
Everywhere needs this
I call 911 and tell them I suspect the driver is drunk. I give them make, model, color, mile marker, and direction. If there's a cop nearby they pull them over.
My state in India also has this system. Works well. Tweet a photo/video of drivers committing offences with their tag numbers, tag the Twitter handle of the concerned authority and they'll get violation notice asap.
[удалено]
I just have a jar of pennies. Only cost .05 to let someone know they're a piece of shit.
What’s the app?
Call the cops and report a drunk driver
Lol this is 290 east to Chicago. Idk why, but for some reason it seems to be the most lawless expressway in the city. Cops don’t do shit.
Here in AZ is what you do. Police will show up and get them.
This is in Chicago. Cops ain't helping a highway DUI call.
I'm thinking drugs. Drunk makes ya swerve, being absolutely fucked up on opiates will make you slowly drift like that.
Chicago cops won't do anything. Hell, Illinois cops won't do anything. This is just the Chicago driving experience. It's best to try and avoid it...
I hope he gets a cop who will give him a hard to perform sobriety test, and fails him just so he can drag the POS back to the police station. If anyone deserves police tyranny, it's these assholes.
That’s a great way to be a victim of road rage.
Victim? This is clearly attempted suicide by road rage.
Sadly I believe the road rager is the victim in this scenario.
This looks like Chicago. Probably not a great place to pick a fight with a stranger. It’s stressful enough driving around on a good day.
Are people without brain even allowed to drive?
Evidently yes
In Chicago? Yes.
I'm pretty liberal, and usually against the death sentence, but this guy has got to go
Show the video and no jury on earth would convict you.
Exactly my feelings. Lots of people in here want to fight him. Not me. I want him dead. We live in a society.
People would say you did a public service and are owed keys to the city. I would not convict after seeing this video.
Just why.. did they wake up and think, I'm going to be a right Wanker today!! Mmm now where shall I be a Wanker? I know, I'll use my 🤡 car .
Someone that drives like that seems so self-absorbed and self entitled it would never cross their mind that anyone might think they were a wanker instead of a hero
I’m pretty sure they woke up and thought “where’s that bottle?”
A while ago on this site it was common to see posts explaining that highway traffic typically moves in waves and that the best way to eliminate this traffic on a given road is to "reset" it by allowing a gap to open by bringing all lanes to a stop and then then slowly accelerating through the gap.
The only acceptable reason would be a medical emergency. Hopefully the driver is OK. Other than that... Yes, they are being a wanker.

Fucking LOL
"What're they gonna do, murder me?" - Dickhead driver who got murdered
Go away! Batin!
Dude’s living his best life, being a fucking dickhead.
Incredibly conservative with the horn in my opinion. Would have held it down the whole time and laughing my ass off because using the horn 100% for something like that makes it even better.
This. 100% going to be the guy installing train horns on my beater to mess with these bastards
Hell yeah, I love laying on the horn when people are stupid. I did it to a lady who got in the intersection when there was nowhere to go and blocked a lane for an entire green light. She flipped me off. It was great.
I happened to experience something almost exactly the same and i just held the horn for probably 15-20 minutes and the driver only seemed to slow more down, we were driving in a single lane road near the mountain Esja in Iceland and there was so much traffic the other way that nobody could get passed, when i finally got passed i saw 4 teenagers all looking baked as fuck.
I assume the person driving does not have the ability to hear the horn. Also they do not have the ability to drive a vehicle.
I can tell you aren’t from Chicago lol
My first thought, my horn would have been blasting the entire time, brights on as well. Hoping to piss him off enough into doing something stupid.
No offense but I’m surprised this guy still alive. He’s going to run into the wrong person one of these days
He'll be poorly photoshopped in the clouds on a t-shirt soon with that level of consideration for others.
Video cam is a from a semi. Weighing 20x that car. We can blast through that car like butter but we get ass blasted for tax dollars.
Good thing he didn’t turn right. If he took the exit to Southside Chicago/Gary, he’d definitely run into “the wrong person.”

Anyone know the song?
Grouplove - raspberry
Thanks for asking.
What is this song?
Chicago?
sure is
Yup, that's the UIC blue line station dividing the highway at the end of the video.
100% that's chicago if the train doesn't give it away the endless construction should have been the biggest clue.
Eisenhower babeeeey!
Right next to uic.
Did the truck driver have an affair with the SUV driver's wife?
Rofl it does look like it’s personal
This situation may not have started with someone getting fucked but that would be how it ends, for sure.
[удалено]
This is in Chicago, so you're probably right.
I will celebrate
I look forward to seeing it.
I used to live near the west loop and would see this exact car weekly on my commute from work. What people here don’t know is that they’re like the ice cream man.

Are they the pace car in Nascar?? GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!!
Can you turn the video in to the police?
I recognize this drive - it's in Chicago. Cops got enough to do around here and won't do anything for this, other than berate the poster for wasting their time.
Tell me you want to be rammed without telling me you want to be rammed
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Give em.a little love tap. Fuck around and find out. Hes endangering all drivers around him with this shit. Thats reportable to non crisis line
Yep. I would’ve kept driving straight ahead once I’d switched to the left lane and he’d have hit me when he drifted. All his fault.
He probably doesn’t own the truck. Quick way to get fired
Tear along the dotted line.

How pathetically insecure u must be to do this because ur honked. Little dock energy
The ironic thing is this guy thinks he’s a better driver than everyone else and wants to enforce his ideas on other drivers through the medium of being a dick. As others have said, it probably won’t end well for him.
I honked at a guy not giving me enough space one dark night - refused to pass me but kept less than 30 cm away from my back bumper - he was so mad to get honked at, HE TURNED HIS BRIGHTS ON lmao.

Ooh I couldn’t drive a truck I’d plow myself into those dickheads my impulse control is not good
I've said it before and i will again... I miss my beater... Thats an obligatory smooch right there
That’s exactly why I love having a beater. However I’m Canadian and don’t generally have a worry about being shot in a bout of road rage, this being Chicago I’d probably keep my distance. Maybe just call police but from the comments here doesn’t sound like they’d even respond to a drunk driver lol
iamatotalpieceofshit
I really wish it was a crime to needlessly create traffic like this
It is a crime in Germany, it’s called “Nötigung im Straßenverkehr” and can be sanctioned with up to three years (!) in jail. As soon as you are enforcing your will onto others (pushing from behind or acting like this guy) one just needs to film and present the video to police. It should be added that in most cases only a (hefty) fine is given, you have to push it pretty hard to end up in jail for three years. Nevertheless, I really like this rule.
This guy is definitely breaking the law. Swerving between lanes, impeding traffic, all that kinda stuff.
Intentionally impeding traffic is illegal so is going massively under the speed limit without cause.
Oh you could definitely get a ticket for this. As they should, this was infuriating to watch
It is a crime lol
I used to live in the West loop and I know EXACTLY where this video is taken.
I live in Chicago but have spent months working in Atlanta. Driving in Atlanta makes me hate myself and everyone around me, holy shit. Drivers in Chicago are aggressive assholes but they're so, so much more predictable on average than the drivers in ATL. And I couldn't avoid driving in ATL like I can in Chicago nearly as easily.
This is why I'd never move to Atlanta.
I’m from the suburbs of Chicago but even I would never pull the same shit as this guy did
This is why i should never be a driver. Watching this video made me SO FUCKING ANGRYYY!!
Dude should get a ticket. You can't go too slow on the highway
Dude should get a curb stomp to the nuts is what he should get
Fuckers like this are the reason I'm so glad to have access to mass transit. I love driving cars, but fucking hate with a furious passion other drivers. And enough of them are terrible enough to make it miserable.

I just got road rage sitting on my couch.
I hope this person steps on a Lego when the get home.
Bold of you to assume they weren't too intimidated by the complexity of a $10 LEGO set to have one in the first place.
slow drivers are the most dangerous elements on the road, should be fucking illegal
Call 911 and report a drunk driver. Location and license plate and car info. Get them pulled over and off the road. They are a danger to everyone.
Waste of time in Chicago.
As a Wisconsinite- yea that tracts lol
Small pp energy
I may be wrong but going under the speed limit is illegal
In some cities and states they have minimum speed limits. Also Some states it's illegal to go the speed limit in bad weather.
There are usually laws against obstructing traffic and have rules where you have to pull over and let a line of cars pass if you’re going slower than the normal flow of traffic. In Washington it’s 5 or more cars. Don’t know what it is where this was filmed but I imagine most places have a similar law.
Well, you're right about the being wrong part
IdiotsInCars
This pissed me off, can't imagine actually being stuck behind this fucking asshole
I think the rims on this car are very telling. That said, should have quickly seized the gap and forced him into a lane, and then kept speed.
What a ass hole
The police need to enforce ticketing on slow drivers in the left lane. They cause accidents. This guy just needs to be arrested for being a moron.
I now have road rage sitting on my bed in my pajamas.
I am usually against violence but people like this deserve to get their asses beat
And this is why we need guns just open the window take aim and make their tires disappear
Gosh just look at that very readable license plate.....
It’s illegal to run people off the road. It’s illegal to run people off the road. It’s illegal to run people off the road….
That’s when you call the police for drunk driving/road rage and be on your way
I hate inconsiderate fucks like this. The absolute worst part about it is highway patrol is NEVER around to catch them.
90/94 in downtown Chicago
The never ending construction zone.
290 and this has to be about a year old
Pretty sure it's 290.
It's 290 east going to downtown Chicago. This area of the highway induces more road rage for me than anywhere else combined. If a live stream video was set up at this intersection you would lose faith in humanity. So many assholes making illegal moves.
Insurance scam
Nah, just an asshole with an ax to grind. Scammer would have hard brake checked.
I assumed traffic vigilante who wants to make certain absolutely everyone drives slowly through the construction zone. But insurance scam could work too.
