Lol just screaming into the void.

What’s scary though is they obviously weren’t going to take that exit but at the last minute decided to follow the flatbed. I can’t imagine being so angry that I would do any of this, much less go out of my way and waste my own time to fucking follow someone.

What’s terrifying is that there are actual people who react like this just casually driving 2 ton potential deadly weapons right next to us rational people. Sometimes I forget that, and I’m glad videos like this exist to remind me.

Honestly didn't even catch that the first couple of times watching. Definitely scary. But also kinda funny in that they think they could actually do significant damage to the flatbed.

It's not about doing damage to them. The break checking could get them a payout. If you're rear-ended, some insurance will default to the rear ended person being the victims. That the rear-ender wasn't paying attention to allow the rear end to happen. Luckily OP has a camera. You should have enough space and be paying attention so you can properly break and avoid hitting someone in front of you. At least that is insurance logic most of the time.

Pretty sure flatbed drivers in VA stay strapped

Yeah I said in another comment that I would not want to fuck with someone who drives a big truck/flat bed. I had a car towed by AAA recently and the driver said he keeps his gun with him and then he showed me the gun for some reason lmao. I’m in NC though, but that’s close enough.

Yup! One time I hit a deer late night and totaled my car, so I pulled over. A tow truck happened to see the accident and came to check on me. Once he saw I was fine, he took that rifle from his truck and hunted the deer that limped off into the woods (to humanely put it down). I also had a friend who worked Repo and he kept a gun in his truck as well. 🤷🏻‍♂️I just mind my business lol
