I see these "I drive in the left lane" people all the time. They really bother me.

"I drive in the left lane, if you don't like it, F you." That seems to be their attitude.

In this case, it wasn’t the pickup truck’s fault.

Watch the video again and you will see a vehicle in front of the pickup when the Camero tried to cut in from the right lane. They were driving way too aggressively. I wouldn’t want to let the punk in the Camero in either after he almost cause me to have an accident.

That all said, it would have been best from both of them to back off. That is what I would have done.

While the Camaro guy is completely at fault, my feelings on the guy driving the pickup truck are explained perfectly by The Far Side:

i think the pick up was behind a few cars in the left lane all waiting to pass the truck. The camaro tried to squeeze in front of the pu while he was a reasonable distance from the car in front.

While they may be a pain in the ass, they are still in the right legally unless goiing under a minimum speed limit. It's a shame that many decide to outdo their level of stupid by putting themselves and others into danger to try to save some time. I run into these types often enough and have found that backing off and giving them a few minutes of space usually results in an opening that is safe to leverage. - a lot easier and safer than getting into a pissing contest with a nut-job. Plus, I am usually armed and do not wish to exacerbate any situation that could result in going someplace that I prefer not to go - the responsibility of being armed helps temper my temper.
