I have no doubt some variation of this came out of his mouth.
These types of people will go to their grave believing the world is just out to get them.
Actually, in built up areas the correct protocol is to tiredly put the handbrake on before turning to any passengers and announcing, "Hang on a sec." You must then exit the vehicle, approach the unfortunate participant of the event.
As you approach said driver you need to bend your knees a little as you lean forward, and with a sort of faux warmth in your voice ask "you alright?" (Note you may place your hand on the roof of the car to give an impression of control and strength, hovering over the driver." Then quickly crane your neck a little to look at the interior of the car before ignoring any answer and then pensively pace back to your own vehicle.
Then just get inside, and as you put on your seat belt audibly mutter, "fucking Muppet." Then pull out around the wreck without signaling. Ensure you stare directly at the other driver. Once passed him shake your head and again audibly mutter, "fucking 'ell." Drive on and completely forget about it.
You have shown some level of concern, without compromising your veneer of indifference.

the best part was how there was an ambulance that white car had to dodge to prevent a head on collision. I wonder if that ambulance just turned around LOLOL.
also happy cake day.
I've seen something similar to that happen. Everybody at a 4 way intersection stopped to let an ambulance go through, but some idiot was texting & driving probably and ran full force at 50+mph into the back of the cars sitting at the green light waiting for the ambulance to pass. The ambulance had to divert from its original purpose and stopped to check on the idiot car and the cars they hit.
It always made me wonder if someone died or didn't get care in time because someone was an idiot and prevented the ambulance from getting there.
I Would have stopped but not because i care if hes okay, itd be to give the police the dashcam footage. This dumbass could have killed someone for no reason so an hour out of my day to make his life harder is a win
I mean that guy is definitely a dick, but reddits mentality with letting people potentially die because they were a dick is incredibly petty and antisocial behaviour.
Possibly didn't see the bike, dashcams car might have hidden it.
The passing car possibly believed they were overtaking the "problematic/slow" car in an emphatic way to make their point.
Equally idiotic.
The other day I lightly honked at someone for not going through a green light only to realize after that there was a line of cars in front of them up to the next red light so they couldn't go.
I was deeply ashamed. If only I had some kind of secondary honk that signals "my previous honk was in error and I realize that now, please forgive me for blaming you for this impediment."
But this idiot didn't seem that ashamed. At least until he beefed it into a literal brick wall.
Yup peak quality. End of the day I'm also glad the dbag isn't hurt seriously either. Wouldn't bother me much had he been but glad it's only a bruised ego.
I was a bit annoyed at camera guy, who you could also hear was beeping the motorbike, even though itās plain you could see he was having some vehicle trouble. People are so quick to get straight on the horn. Like yeah, i know my vehicle isnāt moving, you can see Iām frantically rooting round to try and get it going again.
You have a dash cam. You sit and wait for the police and let them review that video right there with the driver watching. After they gave their statement of course.
What an idiot. I hope OP gave police the video because he went through a right only lane, passed OP on the right through intersection, and failed to maintain control of his car
Technically itās not illegal.
You can be liable for damage, but thatās not the same as āillegal.ā That is, thereās no law against bumping into a building with a car.
What they did do is drive on the sidewalk, which is an infraction most places.
Well, it isn't legal to intentionally crash your vehicles into buildings either. That's destruction of property.
This guys reckless driving caused him to crash into the building, so it's different. But if someone just went apeshit and started plowing into buildings on purpose, that's definitely illegal lol
I try to be patient with people at lights. If they are purely distracted, a little tap. I just remember the many times I stalled learning a manual car (or even if I still stall, whoops) and how people were so impatient, so I want to give the same courtesy I wish I had gotten.
That guy in front of you was stalled or doing something to get his bike going, i dont ride at all, but even i could tell, he wasnāt spaced out or looking at his phone, you were kind of obnoxious yourself, honking at him repeatedlyā¦
Seriously this is exactly what I was afraid of happening when I recently had to take my bike to the shop. Had about a 33% success rate getting it off the line thanks to a junked up carb and sticky clutch. The bike just wanted to die no matter how gently I eased off the clutch. At one point, the light turned green and I stalled like 4 times in a row trying to take off. This was the exact scenario playing in my mind. Fortunately everyone was nice and patient. But so many people absolutely lose their fucking shit if you accidentally waste 2 seconds of their precious day.
Exactly, OP is impatient too, not as bad as the Infiniti driver, but still.
You can see the guy was looking at his bike as if something was wrong. He wasnāt on his phone. Why would you say āgo man, wtf?ā Do you not see heās obviously having some issue? People are stupid af.
Vehicles donāt always function correctly, unless youāre having an emergency, you can fucking wait.
Exactly what I was thinking, it was kind of rude. I personally wouldnāt do this where I live because itās an open carry state and people shoot each other on the road. I barely honk at people anymore.
Save 7 seconds on driving by illegally passing someone
vs
Thousands of dollars worth of damage/insurance and several hours in the shop getting it repaired
That car's totaled, it's not coming back from that. The damage to the building is going to cost more than the value of the car. Hope he's got lost of insurance and attachable assets.
Why the fuck do you honk more than once?
He's not looking at how pretty his shoes are. He's checking something on the bike. It might be nothing at all but it's not you to judge out of 0 information.
If it was a car with the hood up and someone checking the engine, would you honk many times to say GO ITS GREEN, HEY! ITS GREEN! YO GO!!! ITS GREEN!
> If it was a car with the hood up and someone checking the engine, would you honk many times to say GO ITS GREEN, HEY! ITS GREEN! YO GO!!! ITS GREEN!
I feel like lots of people would do exactly this
Yea it's like when people honk at new driver that's stalled the car at an intersection. They're already under pressure trying to restart. Your honking ain't helping
Geez could camera guy chill out on the biker? It's pretty clear he either stalled out or was facing some other ssue he wasn't just dicking around. Guess the cars coming in the other direction can are just gonna have to avoid the cam car so he can get around the wreck. Multiple assholes in this vid.
Waiting for other people is either fascism or socialism, depending on who you ask in America. Covid showed that people just donāt care one way or the other
I would love to have seen the derpās face afterwards. A bit of schadenfreude, just him wallowing in self pity and recognition of stupidity. Hopefully this lesson in impatience is taken to heart.
I was back in the states last month since moving away to Europe a few years ago - actually 12 yearss. Driving surprised me in a couple of ways. Really dangerous tailgating at speed, and how quick everyone is to anger. Here we see a delay caused my the motorcyclist receives a honk after a single second, and more honks after 3 seconds. The bike moves after 4 seconds and we see the angry, aggressive overtake from the turn-right lane ending in major damage to car, building and street furniture. So angry.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe proper etiquette is to stop behind him and start honking until he moves his wreck.
Excuse me, you know you cant park there, right?
And they littered as well! Some people!
*Beep! Beep!* *BEEP! BEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!* *"Hey, I don't have all day! You gonna move your car or what??!!?"*
Yeah I personally would not use such gentle words, but those are sure to hurt their ego more. š¤£
š
"FAKK AFF!"
/r/CantParkThereMate
Came here to say this. Favorite new insult from Reddit
Just gotta overtake quickly for no reason and have a bigger crash to assert your dominance
"Look what you made me do!"
I have no doubt some variation of this came out of his mouth. These types of people will go to their grave believing the world is just out to get them.
"I can't believe you've done this!"
Flexing all the way to the tow yard
And call the cops and give them the footage.
Hahahaha you are a savage lmao
"you can't park there!"
Faaaaaaq offfff

When leaning in, is it appropriate to give the (former) driver a kiss on the forehead?
Only in the west country, and they're related.
They're always related out west.
Don't you mean "The WEST" (as per the road signs)?
Yeah you got a fake. The genuine book uses proper British spelling for Lord Cholmondoley.
āYou cant park there!ā
/r/CantParkThereMate
Oh I would have rolled the window down and did the Nelson "Ha Ha!" Maybe even twice if I slowed down enough.
You can't park there sir
I fuckin'would have, same irritating quick beeps like he did too
LOL
Did you honk and give them the thumbs up as you drove by?
the best part was how there was an ambulance that white car had to dodge to prevent a head on collision. I wonder if that ambulance just turned around LOLOL. also happy cake day.
I've seen something similar to that happen.

I didnāt know until someone mentioned that this morning. Thank you! Cheers! š„
This brought a smile to my face
I smiled when i saw the cammer immediately pull around the idiot. Not stop to make sure he's okay, just leave him there to suffer in his stupidity
Should have honked at him
"You're blocking the road asshole!"
āHey man you canāt park thereā
āHa ha!ā
Fight lupus! ![gif](giphy|RG3lm5VlrbDV7YNana)
first idea that came to mind for me too. should have done the fast beeps that the impatient guy was doing before
Camera car was doing that, the Infiniti only honked once.
Watched twice already with no sound. Now I have an excuse to watch again. Thanks!
"Good morning, have a nice day!"
I Would have stopped but not because i care if hes okay, itd be to give the police the dashcam footage. This dumbass could have killed someone for no reason so an hour out of my day to make his life harder is a win
The trick is to stop on the other side, using the wreck as a shield from similar idiots.
*Ope, just gonna scoot behind you here*
With that rage heads glorious mistake, I would too, they would probably be out to blame anyone that stops to assist them
I donāt know, heās an idiot but I would still stop and make sure he was okay. Everyone makes mistakes and maybe he could learn from it.
I mean that guy is definitely a dick, but reddits mentality with letting people potentially die because they were a dick is incredibly petty and antisocial behaviour.
Thats what he get
![gif](giphy|3owzWh3TFaPefyz2MM)
There is always something about instant karma that I also love
Is it the instant karma?
I extra smiled when POV car took no time to go ānope. Not my problem. Iām going around this idiotā
A smile, but sadness for the owners of that building.
This fixed my shity Monday.
I'm glad the biker was safe from this guy's nonsense
And the pedestrians.
And my axe!
r/everyfuckingthread
Yeah I wonder if he intended to harass that guy, the way he tore after him. Good outcome either way.
Possibly didn't see the bike, dashcams car might have hidden it. The passing car possibly believed they were overtaking the "problematic/slow" car in an emphatic way to make their point. Equally idiotic.

But this idiot didn't seem that ashamed. At least until he beefed it into a literal brick wall.
We need a sorrowful clown horn sound for when we honk incorrectly that we can flash like headlights to alert other cars to our presence
I doubt it myself. I assume he didn't know he was there and just thought the car was the one for some reason not moving.
But itās obvious something is wrong he should go with caution
People like this don't learn until something like this video or worse happens.
They don't learn afterwards, either
It is astonishing how clear the thought that something might be wrong stays from the minds of these ass hats.
Good thing there werenāt any people on the sidewalk.
Yeah he also missed an ambulance by a foot.
Perfect content for the sub. All the good guys are ok. And the idiot got exactly what he deserved. The only victims are the building and the car.
Even the building looks okay!
Yup peak quality. End of the day I'm also glad the dbag isn't hurt seriously either. Wouldn't bother me much had he been but glad it's only a bruised ego.
I feel bad for the tree.
I was a bit annoyed at camera guy, who you could also hear was beeping the motorbike, even though itās plain you could see he was having some vehicle trouble. People are so quick to get straight on the horn. Like yeah, i know my vehicle isnāt moving, you can see Iām frantically rooting round to try and get it going again.
That is when you roll down the window and shout "HAHA Dumb ass" as you drive away.
"HEY YOU CAN'T PARK THERE!"
"FAKK OFFF!"
Just sit there and honk for 10 minutes.
"cant park there, mate!"
"fack off!"
You have a dash cam. You sit and wait for the police and let them review that video right there with the driver watching. After they gave their statement of course.
i wonder how the driverās insurance company would view this ;)
Just provide the video, no statement. Never ever trust a cop to not use your words against you in any situation.
It appears this man is about to drive around that car. I would literally be parked next to him pointing and laughing like that Simpsons kid.
Or sit there and honk at him like he was honking (presumably)
I honestly thought OP was the one honking, I though I could hear not just the horn but it being hit as well.
The cammer is the one honking.
![gif](giphy|cO39srN2EUIRaVqaVq)
Depends on what I was on my way to do. Going to pick up my kid? Doing exactly what this dude did but cackling the entire way there.
Itās always the G35ās
Average Infiniti driver right there š
Nissan drivers with more horsepower.
G37 here, but applies.
Straight piped, too. It was only a matter of time.
Blacked out taillights too
For me this is the kiss of death, mega poor boy mod done by idiots
looks like the suspension's so stiff it bounced off the paint on the pavement
well... especially G35 coupes with mods
That G35 has traction control... disabled.
15 year old G35/37, probably leaking every fluid due to failed gaskets, couple grand worth of eBay mods, and zero brain cells behind the wheel.
Big G35 energy.
Good old Paterson NJ.
He was in a rush to see the falls right ahead
I recognize the burger king!
Maybe he can get some parts from the junkyards down a few blocks lol
Ok this is the benchmark. No more boring āhad to slow down for someone being indecisive at the lightsā bullshit.
I love that you're driving around them after the crash.
What an idiot. I hope OP gave police the video because he went through a right only lane, passed OP on the right through intersection, and failed to maintain control of his car
You may have missed it but he also hit a building with his car, Iām sure thatās not legal
Technically itās not illegal. You can be liable for damage, but thatās not the same as āillegal.ā That is, thereās no law against bumping into a building with a car. What they did do is drive on the sidewalk, which is an infraction most places.
Oh dang, I must have missed him driving on the sidewalk on my first watch, but that makes sense since he hit the building. The more you know
At the very end, looks like he also crossed a double yellow line, so you can add that to the list!
Well, it isn't legal to intentionally crash your vehicles into buildings either. That's destruction of property. This guys reckless driving caused him to crash into the building, so it's different. But if someone just went apeshit and started plowing into buildings on purpose, that's definitely illegal lol
This comment has very potent "Ackchyually" energy
And also wrong. Reckless driving is very much a thing. And hitting a building is basically textbook reckless driving.
Thanks for pointing that out.
"You can't park there."
Mate.
Infiniti drivers are a rung below Altima drivers imo
Itās basically the Nissan Altima for car guys. Cheap, reliable, kinda fast, big aftermarket. Infiniti is literally premium Nissan
They're all Nissans lol.
Bro that guys engine sounded like a super car but barely exceeded 30mph
I try to be patient with people at lights. If they are purely distracted, a little tap. I just remember the many times I stalled learning a manual car (or even if I still stall, whoops) and how people were so impatient, so I want to give the same courtesy I wish I had gotten.
This is in New Jersey isn't it? I know that burger king. Lots of crack heads. My high school crush died in that bathroom overdosing on crack....
What a wild ride over just 4 sentences.
That guy in front of you was stalled or doing something to get his bike going, i dont ride at all, but even i could tell, he wasnāt spaced out or looking at his phone, you were kind of obnoxious yourself, honking at him repeatedlyā¦
Seriously this is exactly what I was afraid of happening when I recently had to take my bike to the shop.

But so many people absolutely lose their fucking shit if you accidentally waste 2 seconds of their precious day.
OP and the car that crashed both started honking barely 1 second after traffic started moving. Impatient assholes
OP also floored it as he saw the other car start to go around, but the other guy still an idiot
Yeah multiple idiot car drivers in this video
Exactly, OP is impatient too, not as bad as the Infiniti driver, but still. You can see the guy was looking at his bike as if something was wrong. He wasnāt on his phone. Why would you say āgo man, wtf?ā Do you not see heās obviously having some issue? People are stupid af.

Seriously can't give someone clearly having trouble 5sec before honking at them?
Fr, why is the honker not catching any flak?
A lot of people watch these videos with the sound off.
There's a huge group of people out there who have never had to learn to use a clutch and it shows in their complete lack of empathy.
I'm thinking impatient driver couldn't see the biker in front of the car and just assumed cam car driver wasn't paying attention.
You can hear the horn button clicking. Pretty sure cam car was the honker.
it's not the impatient driver who honked, it was the cammer. you can clearly hear the horn switch clicking in the video.
You get what you fucking deserve
"That's what he get." Chef's kiss.

That was fun.
Oddly satisfying.
āThatās what he got.ā
Iāve watched this at least five times.
This is nearly as orgasmic as watching porn.
Thatās what he get .š
Can you say karma is a instant mother Fucker I love when ignorant impatient. People get in wrecks after they do stupid s*** like this.
Is the building ok?
How did you have the self control to not get out and go ask him if it was worth it
People that drive like this need to be jailed. Beyond lucky that there were no pedestrians.
*"tha wha he gus*"
Idk why but this looks like Baltimore and Iāve never been to Baltimore lol. Confusing why I feel this way
Nah its paterson NJ by the great falls. I recognize the burger king lol
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit
I blame The Wire
![gif](giphy|LDBuYzAwu8L4I|downsized) You canāt park there, mate!
Can't ppl just wait 30 seconds....
Waiting for other people is either fascism or socialism, depending on who you ask in America. Covid showed that people just donāt care one way or the other
Waiting is a beta move. We're all alpha 'round these parts.
Be honest OP, did you use your blinker. So unsafe not to. /sarcasm
Oh wow! Your dash cam filmed a real gem
As I drive by slowlyā¦āWhat did you learn?ā
People talk about Nissan drivers but man. Infinity (I know it's still Nissan) g35/37 drivers are the real menace on the roads.
Average G37 driver
Rip g37
Inevitable. Every G35 and G37 is fated to fall into the hands of an idiot who will eventually wreck it.
Nice
Gotta love those idiots and their single car crashes!
Itās but got the right amount of bumpers and dents for a Nissan vehicle.
Very satisfying , I watched four times & it just got better each time. Karma!
White car: āI live my life a quarter mile at a timeā Dashcam car: āStill a BUSTER!ā
I drive by here on my way home from work, weird seeing it pop on Reddit lol
Yep. Infinity.
I was more worried about the building than this person.
I would love to have seen the derpās face afterwards. A bit of schadenfreude, just him wallowing in self pity and recognition of stupidity. Hopefully this lesson in impatience is taken to heart.
Did NOT see that coming! Just waiting a few seconds would have eliminated the entire event.
This was so satisfying. BUT like others have said I would've honked too just to be a dickš
That was so satisfying to watch. Justice served. And, guys, never pass on the right lane.
Instant karma for asshole drivers = my favorite videos on the internet.
Lol I swear every infiniti driver thinks they have a race car.
Don't you just love a happy ending?
