Debate rages over at Jalopnik on this one. Nobody will defend the Camaro but many also hate the left lane vigilantes who think their job is to teach people the proper driving speed.
Only person I feel sorry for is the trucker and although the Camaro driver was an aggressor, there is video evidence of the pickup driver engaging in the road rage which could make him culpable as well.
Is that why they do it? Maybe.
My theory was that they do it because the passing lane usually has fewer bumps and potholes.
The pick up driver was playing games.
Idiot.
.
Was the Camaro impatient? Yeah, no doubt about that. But the pick up truck sped up so he couldn't get in and then deliberately blocked the Camaro's path for many miles.
In my opinion, I put the blame on the jerk driving the pick up. Why not just move over and let the guy go? The Camaro kept moving to the left, the universal signal that he wanted to pass, but the pick up truck guy was determined to intentionally mess with him. The trucker looks to be in on it too as he could have slowed down for 2 seconds and let the Camaro squeeze through. Really dumb.
Pick up in the left lane instigated this, but yeah, pretty stupid to pass on the lefy shoulder.
