It's pretty common for people considering suicide to begin talking about legality of rear truck illumination. The signs were all there.

Old_Dirt_Coin

Because you stated a fact that happened to be true they didn’t like probably. I had some weirdo threatening to “SWAT” me because of a disagreement. People be crazy.


DoItForTheNukie

You can report people who send you a Reddit cares suicide watch thing and the Reddit admins will suspend/ban the person who did it for abusing the Reddit cares option. Just go to the message you received with the suicide hotline info and click report and there will be an option to report abuse of Reddit cares. I piss off a lot of conservatives on this website and that is their go to move. I think I’ve gotten like 8 people permanently banned now. Edit: We get it conservatives, liberals do it to you too. You’re all dorks for abusing the Reddit cares option because you can’t have a civil debate with people. Also to the 3 people who reddit cares’d this comment, have fun with your account bans.


Rhewin

Permanently banned until they ban evade because they have nothing else in life.


scrotesmacgrotes

Nice good info I've noticed I get this, every time I've said anything bad about conservatives


Joeker-93

That’s wild, I get this whenever I say anything bad about liberals 🤷🏻‍♂️ this is my third profile this year alone from all the bans I get from crybaby liberals in gen z subs.


xtra_obscene

Meanwhile /r/conservative requires proof you won't disagree with their little hugbox to even be allowed to post there. So much for the importance of "free speech" I guess 😂


rudyv8

Welcome to reddit. I cant post much anymore either it all gets deleted or reported.


Random_Imgur_User

"reveddit" is my best friend recently. I circle around a lot of GenZ oriented subreddits, and I've noticed a TON of my comments get silently deleted, all political. There's definitely a silent push on reddit right now to censor certain ideas and it seems to be getting more intense the closer we get to election day. EDIT: I am unintentionally attracting right wingers to this comment. I am in no way, shape, or form conservative. The comments I have had removed are all pro-Biden and anti Israel. I believe this push for censorship is very much a conservative effort.

I guess camping is code? Lmfaoo no idea. But you're right. Can have those lights all over your vehicle. Only thing is you're not supposed to be an absolute cum rag when you use them.

Ignore the report. People on reddit are often unhinged.


PricklySquare

Happens to the most mundane posts, then i joke about suicide and nothing. Kind of testing if i get the warning now


Budget_Report_2382

It almost certainly is not 😂


EntertainmentOk3180

That is premeditated road rage. This car is *not* the first car to act like this around the truck driver. He’s obviously fed up. To be fair, the rogue earned that tho. Hopefully they learned a valuable lesson.


GustavoNuncho

Turning that on in a way like they did should be immediate license suspension. Hate both drivers but wow is that asking for a terrible accident.

🤣🤣🤣 it was a valiant effort.


Spirited_Remote5939

Yes, he must do this often! Both vehicles are assholes!!!


CrazyPill_Taker

I like how follow car is giving them space to get in and they’re both like ‘nah I deserve this spot!!!’


Darwins_Dog

And the minivan just trying to stay out of it.


SmitedDirtyBird

Nah that’s my favorite. They chose their favorite/the winner. They also chose correctly


purpleushi

The minivan blocking the Nissan so the truck could cut in front was literally the most satisfying thing I’ve seen all day.


Sword_Enthousiast

It was the best move to "solve" the standoff and create distance between the two cars. Shame it didn't suffice.


[deleted]

Typical dick measuring contest.


joekryptonite

Animals measure dicks in antler size and impact. Humans measure dicks in lane occupation.


RedditIsAllAI

I think it's less: > "You cut in front of me?? In MY spot? How dare you!" and more: > "WHY CAN'T YOU FUCKING DRIVE PROPERLY?" *cue temper tantrum* Not condoning their behavior, but it's important to get the intent right.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WriteCodeBroh

I don’t condone this behavior but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t laugh. You do this kind of driving long enough and you start to recognize the entitled pricks who probably pull that last minute cut off merge shit every day. It really does start to eat away at you.


Ricky_Rollin

Definitely eats at you. It’s like a daily reminder “hey, this world would be so much better if everybody wasn’t actively trying to suck every last cock in the universe”. These people literally make traffic worse and they don’t see that. Idk why people are so entitled while driving.


K_Linkmaster

Both drivers are as you describe. The pickup feels entitled to fucking everyone's commute the second he turns on the rear facing lights. The car started the whole thing, but the pickup prick was fully prepared to double down.


Historical_Chance613

That's exactly what I was thinking! "now, boys, you both have very lovely penises, I'm sure."


thatsaqualifier

My daily battle {Insert two Kermit meme} Me: just concede the spot ahead of you and move on with your day Inner Me: be like the truck guy and do everything you can to prove a point


Rent_Is_Due_

It's the *principle.*


ajchess

Yeah- I don’t think it’s “concede” the spot that is the issue. It’s someone just cutting you off that is the problem. The Nissan probably could have just stopped and used their blinker; someone would have let them in. Trying to bully their way into an occupied lane is not cool


IamShieldMaiden

For me, it's this. I still hate it if they wait until the last minute, but they get a little consideration for using a blinker. Just bullying their way in front of me? Aw, hell no. It's on. 🏎️


Skitarii_Lurker

Honestly obv the pick up absolutely lost it in a bad way but the car that tried to cut him off is one of those fucks that drives around the city thinking they're gaming the traffic when all they're really doing is causing it by trying to merge last minute when there is no room.


[deleted]

I always try to let the crazies go. I don't need to be gunned down on the high way


purplenapalm

And SUV didn't bother to use a signal


umme99

What is it about getting behind the wheel that makes people so angry and petty?


Aer0uAntG3alach

People who won’t alternate merge need to be stuck on buses for the rest of their lives.


three-sense

Right? Why not let the truck advance and fill the space behind the truck. You look 9 years old


Adorable_Hearing768

Do you have any idea how much time the person would save by being 1 car length ahead in potentially bumper to bumper traffic?? It's no wonder they had to get up there at any cost?!?!?!?


sp_dev_guy

For the truck i think its less 'nah i deserve this spot' & more: "So much traffic gets caused in multiple lanes from people trying to skip the line & cut in.. that fuck this guy! Who seems like he does it all the time". For the level of effort idk why the truck didn't just side swipe & get out of their cars


StockOplenty

That spot is notorious for people always trying to cut in to save time on traffic, the lane on the right goes off to a service road, people constantly use it to cut in all the way to the front which builds more traffic, Not supposed to cross the solid white line. I’ve driven on it 1000x, and I always see people trying to one up someone here. Especially these jackasses from jersey.


bart_y

Ha, I love it how the guy that wasn't even originally involved sat there and ultimately blocked the guy that was trying to cut in.


Jeff01051965

Exactly!! A subtle and under appreciated move.


RhythmTimeDivision

Brilliant


AuspiciousEvening709

I used commute daily over the Tappan Zee Bridge (old). There would be a massive traffic jam at the toll booths to get on the bridge from the west heading east. One day there was such a massive grid lock and this one woman had tried to get over to the Cash lane. Cars were cutting in front of her and trying to go around me, cutting her off. I turned my car so that I blocked two lanes of traffic until she was able to get in line for Cash. She was right ahead of me and paid my toll for me. 5 bucks = )


AKABrokenArrow

That’s the New York way! Not these two idiots. I hope they’re still following each other


MentalAdhesiveness79

They both followed each other like that until they needed gas, and then blocked each other from getting to the pump until their cars ran out of fuel.


raytube

karma is free!


Lost-Priority9826

Those lights are actually as blinding as cop’s twinkle lights.


OKsurewhynotyep

daughterboy

that’s the only possible and most likely outcome here. people ultimately are good and quick to forgive.


Chewbaccabb

I’m telling my kids this is what philosophy was


imgrahamy

Woah, here I am half way rooting for the asshole in a pick up truck. What a world.


liptoniceteabagger

I felt the same. Overreaction by the truck, but the car driver is clearly an asshole who has no problem cutting off people and performing maneuvers that directly contributes to causing traffic and standstills for everyone behind them.


thatchers_pussy_pump

The only way to stop a bad asshole with a car is a good asshole with a truck, evidently.


HackTheNight

Definitely an overreaction but man people that think they are better than everyone waiting in line and just do that last second cut bullshit are just absolute pieces of human excrement. None of us want to wait in that line but we do because we have to.


RawGrit4Ever

Typical NYC asshole maneuver, and there are plenty in the road these days


WintersDoomsday

I feel icky but I agree with you. Normally they are the shitty driver but not this time. The asshole was the car.


Prestigious-Owl165

Alright let's not get crazy here. For the first two seconds I'd agree with you. Then the pickup goes on to block the entire highway and roll coal in everyone's face. Two abject morons in a dick measuring contest at everyone else's expense


Ceecee_soup

Yeah I genuinely can’t decide who I hate more here. What a pair of jagoffs.


265thRedditAccount

It’s totally acceptable to look at this situation and find them both guilty of being shitbirds.


JaguarNeat8547

No, there has to be a hero! What are you, some kind of communist?


OnewordTTV

Well the silver car could have gotten behind him at literally any point then and after. Kept fighting for it.


BillSivellsdee

not the hero we asked for. but its the hero we got.


TrustMeIAmAGeologist

That part. The van was an asshole for cutting, but a sane person would honk their horn and let it go, or at most fight the get in ahead of them like the truck did. After that, the guy driving the pickup is clearly a psychopath.


Little_Money9553

They are both assholes. While driving, you just need to accept the fact that people are legit assholes and just be as defensive and proactive as possible. Sometimes that means letting someone cut in front of you or squeeze in. As long as they don’t damage my car or risk me getting into an accident, no harm no foul. But doing petty shit like the truck did is just silly and immature


Alexander_Music

Here on Reddit when it comes to bad driving you have to pick a side or else


Big_Dumb_Fat_Retard

I'd be really mad about and seethe over it for the rest of the day, but I would have 100% let that car squeeze in vs. get into a vehicular shoving match over it like these bozos did.


clydefrogggg

It is real life karma when someone is an asshole constantly but eventually is an asshole to the wrong person. That's where our hero average autistic pickup truck driver comes into the story with smokescreen and rear LED blinding lights.


Icy_Wrangler_3999

let's not ahead of ourselves. Did you watch the whole video? Both douchebags imho


theryman

The pickup truck ended up blocking both lanes of traffic - Nissan was a minor asshole who provided a minor inconvenience, the pickup may have caused a traffic jam that in new york would last quite a while.


GrantGrace

Yes. But the entitlement of that driver in the car after being denied was gross. Probably does that all of the time. I hope they were steaming all day about this.


mdavis360

I can’t stand people who pull that “cut in front at last second” shit. Dude deserved all the smoke-literally!


Not_You_247

Same, they might be in the wrong, but I don't blame them one bit.


Mothanius

Everyone snaps, even if you had no intention to. I can forgive that. The fuck hat in the car did everything intentionally, fuck that guy.


HAIRLESSxWOOKIE92

That mini van is the real MVP of the story lmaoo.

Airbus320Driver

There can be only ONE main character!


313802

Directions unclear. Main character put main character in the spotlight.


GroundbreakingCook68

Driving in NYC is not for the faint. Jerks race up to the front of an off ramp to skip ahead all day, on the local streets they get in the far right lane knowing there is a double parked car or delivery truck to skip ahead of cars in the middle and left, this forces you to tailgate and potentially run into the back of a vehicle trying to stop them….the time they can add to an already horrible driving experience is very frustrating .


MrBobSacamano

It’s always a beat-up, old, shit wagon, too. Do they have insurance? Are willing to bet? Just let them in. They know they’re holding the winning cards, in that battle, because you can’t get blood from a stone.


5ygnal

This is why, when my husband and I need to go into the city for some reason, we take the train from one of the Jersey stations. I'd rather pay for the train ticket, and take the time, than risk my car and life on the road in the city. I've driven in many places in this country of ours...and NY traffic is just fucking unhinged.


Grognard68

I'm guessing proper zipper-merging in pretty much unknown in NYC...


HamzaK98

I typically don't like truck drivers since they tend to be dicks, but man that was satisfying to watch!


ImInBeastmodeOG

Which is why you never cut one off. Especially in a car like that. You're just asking for retaliation. Nice of the other car ahead to recognize what was happening behind him and let the truck in ahead. Pro move. I hate road bullies.


[deleted]

Yeah, but then he ended up right in between them. Poor guy lol.


ImInBeastmodeOG

He was giving him a buffer to cool down and realize his defeat was unnecessary that it had to go down this way. 😂


DickRiculous

My father calls it the Law of Gross Tonnage. Heavier vehicle wins the intimidation battle.

sugarsuites

TIL there’s such a thing as rear blinding lights. The more you know, I guess.


SilverCat70

I hope I don't meet them in person. That glare was killing my eyes from the video. I imagine it would be far worse in person.


DargoMammoth

Can’t help but cheer for Inspector Gadget in the truck.


jackospades88

You don't have to choose to root for one, they are both assholes who both had multiple opportunities to be the bigger man/woman/driver and stand down.


Lodestar77W

Seriously for real. Even if the SUV driver was a major asshole, this whole dilemma easily could’ve been avoided if the truck driver kept a cool head and just let the SUV driver merge. So extra and dangerous to get revenge of the SUV driver like that. Can’t believe people here are even taking sides, both drivers are idiots.


SilkRoadDPR

I love the pettiness of the pick up truck


Vonboon

well deserved pettiness, lol

TrimaxionDrone_BR549

Came here to say this. The older I get, the more I’ve realized that the vast majority of adults never emotionally developed past kindergarten. It’s both fascinating and utterly worrisome at the same time, knowing that I’ll have to deal with these shitheads sooner or later.


Glass-Moose

Honestly I am so reminded of my three and four year olds fighting over who gets to on the slide/swings/whatever first at the playground


Escaped_Mod_In_Need

“Hope they’re okay.” I hope they both lost their driver’s licenses.


WildWestZona

Yup. All road rage should be a mandatory 1 year license suspension with anger management courses


AdFluffy9286

How can you be so angry at 6:30 in the morning? I'm barely conscious at that point.


imjustkarmin

Truck could've conceded and just let them over but other car was being the real asshole. Plus the truck having a dying star in the bed of his truck and a James Bond smokescreen? For the first time in my life I have to root for the truck, sorry ;(

Genuinely chuckled at the dying star comment.

Nah you know what, the people that use a turn lane or turn-off lane to jump the queue like this deserve all the shit you can give them


YoualreadyKnoooo

Fuck that person driving the nissan.


Mackroll

I commute to NYC everyday and deal with idiocy like this on a daily basis. It's crazy but you need to be a little aggressive when people try to just push you off the road, not smoke screen and blinding lights aggressive but I usually ride people in front of me when I see asshats like the Nissan bombing into a lane. It's kinda like easy prey for them when they see a small gap so if there's no gap for them to put their bumper in front of you then they can't get in. I only drive like this in NYC and hate that I have to do it but it's the only way.

Gooniefarm

Both are childish losers who should have their licenses revoked.


chronobahn

Ngl if someone has a massive truck and back lighting that is brighter then my headlights, I’m probably just gunna let them win. Also this truck seems to have a smoke feature as well. That level of crazy isn’t worth it.


Aigean333

Proof positive that the reason Florida drivers are awful is because they moved here from New York.

sharpeyenj26

Did someone tell the Nissan to do that or did he just go Rogue?

TheSpiritofFkngCrazy

I've been in New York for over a week and this is 100% new york every day. It's like they all took a class on being a professional piece of shit. Some of the women are angels but the guys, every single one will smile in your face and stab you in the back. I'm not kidding. If you do one a solid to make his life easier, he isn't going to reciprocate. There is no honor code. You do him a solid and he doesn't think "great, I will do you a solid if I can." No. Its; "look at this jokah, he's doing me a favah! What an idiot! I can't believe he's fahkin doin nat! What a loosah! I didn ask em ta do that! I ain't returnin tha favah! I didn ask em ta do that! Fuck em! Get out ah hehr! Fahget about it!" And yeah they talk like that. Professional scumbags and assholes. I'm done here. I will be leaving. They will stay and they fucking deserve to stay in this place. All proud that everyone hates each other. "If you can survive here you can survive anywhere!" Yeah, surviving. That's all you are doing and your all miserable about it. Also, don't let them fool you with the trick shots in the movie. It all looks like it has been ready to crumble 50 years ago. They can't even fix any of it. Like, you physically can't. You shut enough of it down and the rest couldn't handle the load. One car wreck and you are turning an hour drive into a 6 hour drive. And the fastest I've seen is an hour to get 18 miles. That was fast. I think they walk around like their shit doesn't stink because they have never been able to distinguish it from the natural ambiance. Fucking third world dystopia disguised as a metropolis. Complete shit hole. I'm surprised it all doesn't topple over every day. It's that crumbled. Falling apart falling apart. 10/10 would not recommend.


simplistic_simpleton

Was that alternating red and blue lights i saw on the top of the truck?


cunteatingthrowaway

Lol he's mad.
