Tailgating gone bad!!!

[niky]

Not difficult to pull over and let a guy through. Which would be the polite and proper thing to do. But under law, you're not required to pull over until you've cleared the car you've pulled out to overtake.

Seeing more of the video in context (from the moment he got on her tail) would make it clearer.

Personally, if I'm in the right lane, they can just GTFOff of my tail. If I'm in the left, that means I'm overtaking, my right merge signal is on, and please just wait a frickin' moment, sir...

Oops. I just duplicate posted this. Amazing moment. Good thing nobody got injured or killed.

This is part of getting what he deserves. I have no regrets.

If you want a clearer picture, look at the streetview link I posted, and "drive around" there a bit. I think you'll conclude she had every right to be in the left lane.

Just another redneck guy in a truck, nothing to see here. That was pretty funny though and terrifying for the guy in the truck, he could have caused an accident, luckily he didn't though.

Oh, after your analysis, I agree with you, she was perfectly within her rights to be in that lane.

But she could have also backed off and let him through to defuse the situation... which was still 99.9999% the guy's fault.

I drive in this very same central Florida traffic daily, and I can say from experience that there are literally thousands of hillbillies like these two on the road here every day. It's a never-ending stream of camo wrapped 4x4's with shotguns or compound bows in the racks, the mandatory buck, Salt Life, or "In memory of" stickers on the back windows, and the truck beds loaded down with grimy little inbreds and pit bulls, ready to be scattered all over the road when daddy flips the F250 in the next road rage incident.
I just stay the hell out of the way and let them have at it, way to go Florida!

I shouldn't be so negative I guess . . . I mean, somebody has to install my cable vision, right?

He has been arrested for leaving the scene of an accident.

She has also opened herself up to a defamation lawsuit. Not that he would necessarily win, but something she would have to spend time, energy, and money to defend even if a jury found that posting unmasked, video of somebody on social media lead to a loss of income. Especially in Florida where their courts have upheld their two party permission laws pretty strongly.
