Red neck trucker, says no to this blonde trying to merge

RED NECK TRUCKER, SAYS NO TO THIS BLONDE TRYING TO MERGE

Here we have an onboard video of a Trucker going down the road talking on the phone when a vehicle merges in his lane. After this one an VW decides to do the same thing. This time the trucker will not have this, he speeds up and closes the gap. But this does not deter the lady behind the wheel of the VW and continues her maneuver. The trucker avoids her by moving over but still not slowing down and letting her pass. When he cannot go over any more they hit.

It is obvious that the whole thing was totally avoidable. All the trucker needed to do is let off the gas and let her pass. But then, also the lady in the VW could have waited for the next opportunity to merge.

Either way, the lady is lucky to be alive.

Tell us your opinion, who is to blame, the trucker or the lady?

Okay, I think the Trucker is in the wrong. after all he is suppose to be the "Professional Driver." People used to cut me off all the time, you just slow down, back off and let them go.. it's not worth an accident or a life.

Who do you think is at fault and why?

 

[Cannuck]

More evidence of the low IQ required to be a truck driver.

You just don't know the rules of the road then, and you said you drive a fire truck. :lol:

She was passing in the right hand lane, thats called undertaking and its wrong and dangerous.

So legally it's the cars fault. However the trucker still should have slowed down in my opinion.

 

[CDNBear]

Where did that take place?

By the looks of the sign, somewhere in the States.

Good gawd!!! You're such a simpleton. Yielding to an emergency is required by law. I don't run somebody off the road just because they dont yield. Thank gawd you're retired. One less brain dead trucker on the road.

 

[wulfie68]

Legally she is wrong because she tried to lane change and squeeze into a gap that wasn't there, which ended in her hitting the truck. He could have avoided it by slowing to let her in but he doesn't have to. It was avoidable by both but more onus is on her in this case.

Edit for Cannuck: I watched again after you posted. There is no emergency in this situation until the car creates it, so I don't know where you can fault Boomer's analysis...

So you don't know the rules of the road then.. thanks for clarifying that to everyone.

Your insults are childish.. but that's par for the course for you.

Ummm, you really should get that anger issue dealt with.

Look, I get it, you take this internet stuff super serious. But you're losing control man. Put on some man socks and seek help.

So anyway, here's the Ontario statute...

Passing to right of vehicle - 150.

(1) The driver of a motor vehicle may overtake and pass to the right of another vehicle only where the movement can be made in safety and,

(a) the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn or its driver has signalled his or her intention to make a left turn;

(b) is made on a highway with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width for two or more lines of vehicles in each direction; or

(c) is made on a highway designated for the use of one-way traffic only. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 150 (1).

Driving off roadway prohibited

(2) No driver of a motor vehicle shall overtake and pass another vehicle by driving off the roadway. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 150 (2).

Non-application of subs. (2)

(3) Subsection (2) does not apply to the driver of,

(a) a motor vehicle overtaking and passing to the right of another vehicle where the shoulder to the right of the roadway is paved and the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn or its driver has signalled his or her intention to make a left turn;

(b) an ambulance or fire department vehicle as defined in section 61;

(c) a police department or Ministry emergency vehicle;

Note: On a day to be named by proclamation of the Lieutenant Governor, subsection (3) is amended by the Statutes of Ontario, 1994, chapter 27, subsection 138 (14) by striking out “or” at the end of clause (d), by adding “or” at the end of clause (e) and by adding the following clause:

(f) a motor vehicle overtaking and passing to the right of a road service vehicle or road-building machine where a person apparently employed by or on behalf of the authority that is engaged in the highway maintenance operation has directed the driver to pass it and the movement can be made in safety.

See: 1994, c. 27, ss. 138 (14), 144.

You're a bigger idiot than Boomer

Oh dear! You're particularly angry today.

ETA...

And from the YRP Officer I'm talking to right now... "Legal but you stand the chance of getting hit with unsafe driving/operation".

 

[B00Mer]

The laws vary from Province to Province on undertaking.. as well as states.

Like in BC, keep right unless you are passing.. new rule. (Different laws for each Province)

That's why I was curious as to where it took place.

Well glad I could share this thread with everyone.. was hoping it would stay friendly. But then Cannuck showed up. :lol:

I bet the lady in that car shít her pants when she was being pushed along by the rig.

 

[CDNBear]

He seems to be getting worse. I'd hazard a guess that his drinking has a lot to do with it.

Oh he's a Boozer? a Lush? Maybe why he can't hold down a job.

There's a couple FF's and EMT's on the site I'm an Admin at. One has a serious drinking problem and has the same issues with grudges, raging and a tender ego, as Cnuk.

I had one of those large U Haul vans when moving from Phoenix to the Ozarks several years ago. My oldest daughter and I were in the van while my ex and the other children followed behind in the car. Long story short, while proceeding on the ramp merging onto I 40 in Albuquerque, this big azz 18 wheeler about took the side view mirror off and put my daughter and I in a dangerous situation all because he didn't want me to proceed onto the interstate ahead of him so, instead of maintaining his rate of speed and letting me accelerate to adjust to that, the moronic azzhole speeds up. There was no merging lane on that particular stretch it was on ramp directly onto the inside lane of traffic. This wart seen that and sped up. He should have his license revoked. Probably high on meth.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

My only question is why the fruck was he in the left lane? He wasn't really gaining on the guy in the right. And people were cutting in front of him for a reason. I hate when trucks pass a truck going 1 mph faster than the truck they are passing. Blocks the left lane for minutes. He should have been going the speed he accelerated to in the first place.

 

[B00Mer]

Anybody operating 63,000 + Lbs on the road should be more responsible than this guy was.. he is lucky that lady wasn't seriously injured. I hope they do charge him with aggressive driving, and the fact that it was recorded may actually help the lady.

However, passing a rig on the right (undertaking) is extremely dangerous, you are in his blind spot and he can't see you.
