Work van road rage?

Published 2021-08-23
Was traveling north on I-71 in Bellville Ohio. I approached some slower traffic in the right and center lanes. I checked my mirrors, noting that there was a Sprinter type of van in the left lane approximately a quarter mile behind me. I began my pass and assumed the van would catch up to me at about the time I completed my pass. At this time I had no idea that he wasn't behind me. I finished passing the truck in the center lane and began moving back out of the left lane. I checked my mirrors again and just barely caught movement out of the corner of my eye. The movement was the Sprinter van flying up my right side. You can see in the video that I hesitate for a second, and that is what prevents a collision. He then continued at high speed cutting through traffic until he was out of sight.

    What's the point of honking after and not before/during the dangerous driving?
  • @acox3527
    People are just too oblivious anymore or looking for a quick buck for cutting off a truck and causing an accident
  • Well he could have used the left passing lane if the semis in the middle lane ever moved over to the right lane that nobody is ever in. I drive the highway everyday for work and semis sit in the left and middle lanes driving the same speed blocking everyone. Many have to pass on the right because of it.

    Looks like impatience according to the video. That other trucker shouldn't have been in the middle lane either.
  • That’s not road rage, that’s clearly the owner of that stretch, he’s just making sure everyone knows
  • Hello! Can i use this clip in my next compilation video? Thank you!

    The main problem that caused this chain of events is the stupid car going so slow that a semi that wasn't even going the speed limit passed them. Car drivers, if you can't at least go the speed limit, just stay off the interstate. You're in the way. You caused multiple vehicles to move out of the lane they were supposed to drive in because you're too old and slow to be driving.

    Some states don’t allow semi’s in the left lane on highways more than 2 lanes wide. I’m not sure on this stretch of highway. Each state and section of highway could be different.

  • I drove a service van for 11 years and what many may not realize is that for some reason people just don't seem to want the vans passing just like they don't want to be behind a semi. I assume it's because of the visibility issue. I'm not condoning this masshole's actions in any way...just pointing out something that adds to the ire of service van drivers. Another thing is that these vans have a GVWR of less than 10,001 Lbs. and do not fall into the HOS (Hours Of Service) rules. Here in Georgia, you can be fired for refusing to work overtime. I've had work days that exceeded 24 hours and that includes driving time. I would drive home from my last call banging on my legs trying to stay awake! Imagine semis driving for 24 hours straight...with a service van not only is it legal, but you can be fired for refusing to keep working! I guess the powers that be figure a van will kill less people than a semi would. In any case, he was lucky that the cammer was a pro and didn't destroy his employer's van.
  • Huh. First time the ‘van driver’ isn’t really at fault… Was a stupid move, but he showed up in the mirror passing on the right well-before the truck started to change lanes…
  • @Brucesalarski
    Why are you passing in the left lane? That’s illegal?
  • @loganregan3234
    Ok hold up bud you did not have the right to honk he was going into his lane you don't have the right to honk at me for no reason
