Yee haw, did you see that Luke Duke!

"Yeah, Boss? I'm not gonna make it in today. I gotta get my car detailed. And get new pants."
Splosions
In front or behind people! Don't hover next to a semi if you can avoid it.

Nah, the truck just lifted one cheek to let out a toot

Truck that!!!!
ImCommanderShepardandthisismyfavoritepostonthefrontpage
that last tag though
Ghostlyelement
Another reason to PASS an 18 wheeler and give them room
dunkyclone
Truck no

eyeheartbeer
Slow the f down
dgg7
Yeay, why wouldn't the car driver break??
disgruntledtruckdriver
Because being right is more important than being alive.
sellcrazysomewhereelse
I would have had to pull over and pass out from the what if.
Morehk
Brown alert! Brown alert!
cptwott
I needed extra underwear when a truck tyre exploded right next to me on the highway.
bugeyetex
I hope you weren't on a motorcycle
ifounditunderthere
They didn't even brake!
IMayOrMayNotHaveTroubleFindingAndOrChoosingAUsername
Look closer. The car brakes twice; when entering the corner and again a few seconds later when the trailer starts hovering.
ifounditunderthere
Saw it brake at the turn, didn't see it at the near Miss...
shitinator
This will replay in my head any time i go near a rig like that (like for a week)
TBarracuda33
In such a hurry did not even slow down... I get the feeling this is not the first the truck driver has done that.
AndrewCanadian
My butt hole would have torn a piece of the seat fabric off from clenching so hard.

TIL: People have very slow reaction times.
BaconAndBoobsAndBackflips
No damage to property and no one was severely injured. 2/10 not a realistic prank
Experimentalist
Why in the ever living petrified brain matter did the driver of the car not slow down? Mr. fucking Magoo driving?
CassieMoorecock
Probably because of the other driver behind him (the dude filming). Slamming on the brakes coulda caused an accident as well.
CassieMoorecock
One of those "fucked if you do, fucked if you don't" things
RigorMortis76
What game is this? The graphics are horrible.

Hard Truck 2

That truck seems to going around 70 or 80 mph. This is why the max speed for trucks in cali is 55.
disgruntledtruckdriver
No way. He's doing 60-65 based in the original video. If he was doing 89 on that turn then we'd have watched two people die.
HairytheSheep
Ok, 55 is a little ridiculous on an interstate, no wonder yall have so many traffic issue
JosephMcCovery
Drove from Bakersfield to Sacramento via the 99; felt like I was slowly dying at 55.
rabaal
Yeah after Delano fucking sucks. It's only two lanes for like 40ish miles though. It gets better after that though. If they're not working.
rabaal
Well they're also restricted to the far right lane, except when passing. It's not too bad as most our roads are 3+ lanes.
disgruntledtruckdriver
Many studies have proven split speed limits don't work. Many states have already abolished them. Ohio for example.
rabaal
And Texas. Watching a fully loaded rig fly 80 mph down the highway is harrowing, to say the least.
Mithi
55 mph is more than enough. In Germany it is 80km/h (~50mph) on the Autobahn.
HairytheSheep
Really?? Over the whole road system? If traffic is doing 120kmh, thats a pretty fast closing speed
Mithi
Yes, but this way cars don't hang around too long. And 120 is tame, my personal record as shotgun was 220km/h, those semi seem parked.
HairytheSheep
Thats crazy to imagine just being able to do that without going to jail. Its big (local) news when someone gets caught
welcometofuckall
Trucks are very territorial and will mark their territory as a form of intimidation
wegotabadassoverhere
He was leaning over for a kiss
mand1nga
it's crazy how nature does that
chinablue
I had a semi driver run me off the road once on the highway they can be territorial.
disgruntledtruckdriver
Can confirm
SomeGuyWithAPlan
I'm willing to bet trucks were restricted from the inside lane, and they couldn't get over. I never drive next to trucks in barricaded lanes
CommanderWilliamTRiker
Same, I try and pass as fast as possible
SomeGuyWithAPlan
Yep. If I can't pass, I drop behind the truck. Pissed a lot of people off on the Goebels Bridge during construction and a wind storm.
turbotricycle
That cargo securing tho.
disgruntledtruckdriver
What securement?
turbotricycle
The cargo stayed on the trailer.
disgruntledtruckdriver
But shifted significantly. That load is insecure.
Jmereel
Today's lesson: Don't hang out near trucks.
SirBaldrick
Unless its rush hour traffic I refuse to drive right next to a semi. Give em plenty of room and pass them quickly if necessary
jiynxed
not just for this. those tires are bombs waiting to go off.
idontneednostinkingpuffin
You should have learned that in driver's Ed.
thisiskissel
Was once surrounded by trucks in a rain storm, at night heading into a major city. Major butt clenching.
TheDivineUsersub
I trust most truck drivers over the common car drver anyday of the week.
snowfork
I had a truck with its signal on unable to get over because a single car wouldn't get out from beside him. Slowed traffic for almost a mile
JosephMcCovery
I absolutely hate that! It is far worse when I NEED to move over, yet some putz is farting away, ignoring my signal.
holmestrix
This is why I pass trucks in the PASSING lane instead of hanging out in said lane like a moron.
Arrrrgggggghhhh
Maybe the truck was overtaking the car?
disgruntledtruckdriver
Doubt it. Cars often get beside me and sit there for an uncomfortably long time. I dont know what the appeal of it is.
Xenarion
+1 for not calling it the "fast lane".
IDONTKNOWWHATWEREYELLINGABOUTLOUDNOISES
As somebody who drove smaller box trucks, can confirm.
IDONTKNOWWHATWEREYELLINGABOUTLOUDNOISES
I used to warn friends and family of this and they'd get defensive, as if right-of-way trumps blind spots and mass differential.
Mistruths
"You can be right, or you can be alive."
IDONTKNOWWHATWEREYELLINGABOUTLOUDNOISES
I gotta remember that one.
FreeHornyWomenCLICKHERE
I wonder who was more scared: the lorry driver or the car driver
PeopleSeemToHaveLongNamesOnImgur
Car driver scared for his life. Truck driver scared about spending a significant amount of time in Prison. Both pretty scary.
ImgurNeedsMoreSmartass
I'm leaning towards the car driver
Strostkovy
I didn't see any brake lights so either oblivious or terrified
ImgurNeedsMoreSmartass
I don't know really. I just said it for the joke
bolognaunderwear
As a truck driver this idiot needs to slow the fuck down, operating such heavy equipment comes with a big responsibility, smh fucking idiot
michonnedisapproves
Yeah but he's gotta he MUY MACHO
WeeJones
Couldn't see the tractor to confirm, but I bet it was Swift..
bolognaunderwear
Man they are terrible drivers
BluePaladin42
Was driving alongside a REALLY aggressive trucker hauling a flatbed last night. He would keep switching lanes to tailgate people.
bolognaunderwear
Usually flat bed truckers are the worst offenders
marsgoose
Am I the only one that feels the buttclench when passing a swift truck and the guy starts inching towards your lane?
SendLewdss
As a non-truck driver I agree?
Strostkovy
I don't think you need to be a truck driver to notice something so obvious in hindsight.
IfImCommentingImVeryDrunk
Its just a prank bro
DaneBrass
There's an interchange in Milwaukee under construction with tight radius turns, a truck flips about once a month there. It's ridiculous
usernameblankityblank
Would that be 94 west(going north) turning into 894? or 894 east, turning into 94.
oldpunksstandintheback
In Cleveland we've got one called dead man curve. I-90 follows Lake Erie until Cleveland where it makes an abrupt left turn.
Pella21
What does smh stand for. For a friend
silvirus
Always thought it was "so much hate".
bolognaunderwear
Shaking my head ;)
bpetersen
As a truck driver wouldn't you feel something wrong with the truck ,look behind,"Oh fuckfuckfuck", Pull over, "I'm so lucky"
bolognaunderwear
Indeed, after that the first thing I would have done was pull over and check on other driver and re secure the load
applesforjuice
As a car driver the guy with the dashcam needs to slam the fuck on the breaks when a truck is about to fall over right in front of him
Silved
Yeah while i get that that trucker is an asshole. Self preservation levels are not high with this car driver.
bolognaunderwear
You got that shit right.
applesforjuice
About 20 mins ago I was on the highway and a UPS truck fell over right in front of me except going the wrong way and swerving
HellFireBeardMan
he also needs to know about load securement, because those straps are fking way too loose
bolognaunderwear
You got that shit right
GrundleFondler
Yeah- why the fuck is he overtaking a car on the right around a corner?!
Nutjob
Because he's more important than you
bolognaunderwear
Idiots like this need to have their CDL taken away, it's clear this person doesn't give two shits about their safety or anybody else's
electrobombs
As a point of caution. Always give trucks extra space and try not to drive beside them. Highway driving is dangerous. People die every day.
ThermoNuke
This. Granted this moron in the gif needs his license revoked, but a lot of shit can go wrong with 80,000lbs of steel/cargo at 70mph
JustSayingYouHaventSeenMeAndBatmanInTheSameRoomBefore
I generally drive +4 the speed limit, but if I'm passing a truck I'll speed up to +10 or more to get away from them.
Allfather
A good thing to remember is if you can't see my face in the mirror I can't see you at all.
troy11998822

RyShow
We're on it. ?
snowfork
I have heard stories. Fudged logbooks, speed to keep you up for days.
Himser
I once had a house pass me on the highway.... The Pilot trucks were struggling to keep up, i was doing 20 over the speed limit...
MerToo
hahahahahahahaha one time I passed a Lamborghini in my Starlet AND I remembered to make the Jetsons saucer-noise, it was the greatest day.
foxfire1112
lmao did this nigga just say he had a house pass him! Thanks for the laugh
Himser
it was on a truck, but yes,
foxfire1112
I know but reading it as just a house makes it so much more funny
Himser
lol i laughed my ass off when it happened too... the whole "did a house just pass us" question.
Secretsquid
I have called that shit in before. They passed my truck like I was sitting still then when I pull up behind the cop and give my 1/2
SkinMiner
Testimony?
Secretsquid
Basically yes. I just told the officer what they where doing. Weaving through traffic and excessive speed
FsImgur
dick a twirl, then shouted "What's it gonna be cop'r? The twirling dick man or the house truck?!" Then I sped away in a cloud of smoke. 2/3
Secretsquid
Statement the look on their face looks like they got their puppy kicked. It's reckless and unsafe as f***. I've pulled 80-118k my whole 2/3
rnautosales9161337
Asshole has been weak ever since I had that trucker orgy at the reststop off of highway 80. 3/3
Secretsquid
Carrier and never had an unsafe violation and passed every inspection they've ever done. No load is so important that it justifies that 3/4
Secretsquid
Kind of speed and reckless disregard for life and equipment 4/4
McCrappen
WHAT DID YOU GIVE?
Secretsquid
Eye witness account of what they where doing. Weaving in and out and excessive speed.
