But seriously, gtfo of the left lane if there are cars on your bumper.

You can pretty clearly see there are vehicles in the left lane that the driver is passing. Just not fast enough for the idiot in the truck. And before there is a safe distance in front of the vehicles they passed dickhead has shoved his truck into that space.

Yeah, he was being a dumbass for sure and all of that flipping off and swerving was stupid and dangerous, but she was completely in the wrong too and was in fact, being an asshole... and she knew it.

 

Not sure where this happened, but slower traffic keep right is the law in NC.

She wasn't slow traffic. In fact you can see she passes two cars while that dickhead is riding her ass. Then he cuts one car off to get beside her, effectively preventing her from moving back to the right lane after passing the two vehicles.

Agree completely that he was a dickhead and in the wrong.  

 

However, had she simply moved over after passing that truck, instead of filming it (ie she knew she should have moved over), the whole situation would have probably been avoided.  Yes, the guy probably would have passed her on the left and continued his antics, and I agree he deserved what he got, but she was not completely innocent.

 

The vast majority of people on the road are solely concerned with what they are doing and no one else and are either completely oblivious to drivers around them or just asshole enough to not care.

Sorry dude..

 

Gotta disagree.  She passes two trucks and before there is much more than a single car length between her and the last vehicle she passed the dude in the truck squeezes in.  You should never switch lanes too early after passing a vehicle and create an unsafe following distance for the vehicle you just passed.

 

 

Now on the put the god damned phone down and drive part, I agree.

 I just think she was well aware that she needed to get over.  More than likely, before the video had started, she had ample room to move over and didn't which is probably why he was tailgating her in the first place.

 

Again, I'm not saying the guy was in the right here, he clearly was being an asshole, but she definitely contributed to the situation.

Both assholes. Yes the guy is riding your ass, but what the hell are you doing pulling out your phone, starting the camera, setting it to video mode, and then filming the incident while driving. Her dumb ass not paying attention to the road is as dangerous if not more than a guy tailgating.

Everyone lauding her as the champion of even keeled temperance on the road should think about they would feel if someone was driving slower than them in the fast lane, but still had time to pull up her phone and film you driving behind her. I'd probably want to flip her off too.

I was driving home up highway 49 last week through Concord/Mt. Pleasant and this lady on her cell phone was going 45 mph in the fast lane of a 55mph zone. I finally got room to get around her on the right side and admittedly flipped her off like this guy did.

 

Now about 3 miles up the road I see her coming back up the left lane going about 70mph, still on her phone. She goes past me and notices a cop in the opposite direction with it's lights on that has someone pulled over. She slows down until she gets passed that cop and speeds back up again totally unaware of the cop up ahead of her in the left lane going the same direction as her. I start saying "please, please, please be this stupid".

 

She gets about 50 yds behind the cop and slams on the brakes to slow down. Too late, cop pulls into the right lane and slows down to get behind her and lights her up. When she gets pulled over I can't help but blow my horn at her and start pointing and laughing as I go by. Yes I was a bit of a dick but it was the best thing that happened to me all day.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
