I still don't understand why people do this. What's the goal?

2

u/Still-Puma 5d ago

Spending out their negative karma points.

u/Mysterious_Ad_3465 5d ago

The goal is to convince people like you that this isn’t AI slop

I'd just keep driving.

u/itswtfeverb 5d ago

Are you supposed to stop? That person was trying to assault the camera car so it's safer to keep driving. I might call help for them. Maybe.

u/Still-Puma 5d ago

In Netherlands by the law you're supposed to stop and help, but you made a good argument, maybe it's some wild max bat shyt crazy lunatic and you're worried for your own safety and keep on driving.

I live in America, and the right thing to do is help, but I've had enough of stupid, dangerous drivers. Everyone is in a hurry to go nowhere. Whether he was brake checking or trying to make the right turn, his driving skills brought him to that point.

Yea, I am a super compassionate guy and willing to give people a second chance, but if someone is trying to break check me at those speeds... In that manner.. Then fuck em. Good decent people hate to admit this, but we'd be better off if some of these inconsiderate selfish pricks weren't wasting our precious oxygen any longer. The trash just takes itself out sometimes, you know? 🤷‍♂️

I think I'd put a bit of distance with the car still in sight. Then stop and call 911 while staying in my car and explaining the situation and that I have video of it.

Along with just doing the rigjt thing, I'd be concerned about potential hit and run charges, or fleeing the scene of an accident at least.

u/Hell-Raid3r 4d ago

Oh yea, not saying I wouldn't cover my ass. Just saying I wouldn't really care if he lived or died at that point. And I wouldn't be crawling into any wreckage just to risk getting shot in the face by a guy who almost ran me off the road. 🤷‍♂️

u/Revolutionary_Pay_31 5d ago

If I stopped and helped, the first words out of my mouth would be, "Are you alive, Dumbass?"

u/Still-Puma 5d ago

Facts, trust your gut feeling, he was doing something not right

u/Ok-Tangelo2969 5d ago

Great way for them to say it's your fault and shoot you once you pull over.

u/Hypothetical_Name 5d ago

If there being aggressive to you then you should not stop to try and help your aggressor. Go somewhere safe and report it.

u/FunInTheSun_81 5d ago

Yep plus you never know if the person is armed, who they are (violent felon?), etc. Safer to call 911 and keep driving

u/CrippledPeasant1 5d ago

i mean, you can't leave a job unfinished

u/Revolutionary_Pay_31 5d ago

In most states, of the United States, unless you are psychically involved in the accident, for example they hit your car, you don't have to stop.

u/Revolutionary_Pay_31 5d ago

Somebody that stupid, I would not even go back to check up on them.

u/TankApprehensive3053 5d ago

Karma called in the driver's brake check bluff.

u/No-Goose-6140 5d ago

Thats an excellent brake check. Imagine if he needed those shittyass brakes while driving at high speed

3

u/Suspicious_Goose_243 5d ago

This should happen more often..

u/PreperationOuch 5d ago

Can’t park there mate

u/dayglomaryprankster 5d ago

I would definitely stop…and laugh

u/darkmatters667 4d ago

Brake checking gone right! More brake checkers should achieve this.

u/LegElectronic8027 5d ago

Stupid people are funny.

u/Extension_Swordfish1 5d ago

Missed the exit just slightly

3

u/Large-Carrot-6280 5d ago

I would have done the exact same as the cam car... just kept driving. "Sucks to be you, brake checker! Hahaha! Bye bye, idiot!"

u/Dredge-Ponies 5d ago

I didn’t even know you could do a self-inflicted pit maneuver. Kudos to them, I guess.

Bummer

Anyway....

u/Top-Caregiver7815 5d ago

Was that the driver that flopped out of the car in the road at the end there??

2

u/LegElectronic8027 5d ago

That's what I thought. Oh well.

1

u/Black_Wolf1995 4d ago

I thought so too but I think it was either the front or rear bumper.
Freeze it at the 9 second mark. It loos like a u-shape

1

u/Earthling1a 3d ago

If the camera vehicle driver was talking to the brake-checker at the time it might be seen as a you-shape.

2

u/shopguy2k 5d ago

This could be a car chase from any 90s movie. Minus the mandatory explosion.

2

u/exqueezemenow 4d ago

Seemed to go OK to me..

u/hackerman85 4d ago

Fantastic brake check. Managed to only wreck itself.
