As a former trucker myself,who was governed at 70 MPH i had issues at times like this where I go to pass a 4 wheeler and they will suddenly speed up or won't let me pass,which is an asshole move,but after realizing they won't let me pass I just got back in behind them,some 4 wheelers can be real assholes to truckers.
I have respect for truckers. I never get in their way . Everytime Im coming off the exit and a trucker is coming on the interstate, instead of trying to speed ahead of him, I step on my brakes & slow down. And every single time, the trucker moves to the other lane to let me on if no cars are coming. BIG respect to truckers!!!💪🏼👊🏼
as a trucker we have this pretty most of the time a lot of four wheelers might go 60-65 mph on a empty road but as soon as i get behind then trying to pass them they start to speed up just like this fella my truck is governed to 70 mph thanks for sharing this information

I guess you don’t drive on the highway much. Most if not all the big fleets trucks are governed at mid 60s tops. Your independents and small fleets are usually unlimited.
My Truck is governed @ 68 mph. Your talking about the owner ops that own there truck & go how fast they please but most big companies govern their trucks
As an owner operator I governed my truck because I was going 70 all day and I knew I couldn’t trust myself. So before I got a ticket I governed it to 68
I would caution the truck driver for using the actions of the car driver to justify the truck driver's actions. Do I think the car drvr is wrong? Yes. Do I think the truck drvr needs to adjust his actions too? Yes.
Wrong wrong wrong...you are wrong. Most class 8 trucks for large carriers are governed to 65. Studies show that slower vehicles actually cause more accidents than fast vehicles and trucks governed to below speed limits cause major issues especially on 2 lane highways.
it’s not the little car’s fault. it’s the idiot that’s truck is governed that can’t make a decent pass. if you work for a company and the truck is governed then you need to accept that and stay in the slow lane no matter what. if you do end up in the left lane use your brake pedal to slow down and get back over.
He was passing the car…. He gets behind the car, car slows down, he goes to pass, car speeds up. And that’s what’s bullshit. Don’t comment on something you know nothing about shit for brains.
The left lane is a passing lane. The car is not maintaining it's speed which is causing the truck to pass. The minute the truck goes to pass the car speeds up or paces the truck so it can't pass.

Drive every day the one's that piss me off more tho are the idiots that race to get alongsice my trailerr then they just sit there blocking the lane. Get out of our way you are smaller and faster use that.
That's my points exactly where the hell is he going in such a rush just stay in the right lane with that big piece of crap and take your time and save some lives and save some gas
This happens to me at least once a night as a semi driver. Its annoying as fuck but not a whole lot can be done about it. Fortunately i drive at night only so i can get away with just cruising in the left lane til the car giving me issues takes their exit or speeds up/slows down. They usually get the picture when im chillin right beside em. Whats ironic is the worst offenders are usually other truck drivers. Catch up to a guy doing 5 or 6 mph less than me just to speed up when i get up on him and find out were both governed at 68. Hills dont help either since im usually pretty heavy 🫤
If trucks have to continually slow down for slow cars they will take a lot longer and use a lot more gas accelerating back to speed. Trucks are at work and benefit us all.

If you're in a governed vehicle, then you need to take that into consideration before attempting to overtake another vehicle. A large truck getting stuck in the left lane is a major cause of slowdowns.
Most trucks I pass are going 65 to 70. I think they are governed at 65, not 60. Plus I've seen owner operators going 80. Either way, if it's heavy traffic than yeah I'd let them infront of me. In light traffic if they are trying to pass me (which is never) I'd let them through if I'm going slow enough for them to pass.
When the truck passes the front of your car flash your headlights so he knows it's safe to turn in front of you i drive to Florida it helps the truckers out
Looks like the truck driver should have yielded right of way, not the car. Just because someone wants to change lanes, doesn't mean they legally have right of way. And by your statements, did he maintain minimum safe distance when he pulled in front of the car?
What's the big emergency why can't the truck just stay in the right lane and save fuel and maybe save some lives everybody always seems to side with the trucker the trucker had an option he could have slowed down and got behind the guy
It also is the cause of turtle racing where one truck is governed to only 60 and the other is just over, but also heavier.. one truck just can’t get passed because he can’t get the speed.
1. A large % of semis have their speed governed. Speed is set by company ranging from 55 to 75. Some trucks are not governed at all and can keep up with you no matter what. 2. The car was being an inconvenience. It is not illegal to be an inconvenience. Just makes you an asshole to the trucker and some those forced to slow down as a result. 3. Semi driver wasn't rude he was aggressive trying to force the car to speed up or down by creeping across the line...aggressive driving IS illegal. As a trucker, I can tell you this happens to all drivers on a regular basis. There is no excuse for being aggressive. Speed up and pass, slow down, and get behind if you need to catch the granny lane. Otherwise, wait it out in the 🔨 lane. Hint, sitting in the 🔨 lane is usually the wrong answer!
Helpful indeed and there is a reason to why trucks in the United States are set to 65 miles per hour it's stopped in the northeast parts of the Great Lakes it's very common for them to cross into Ontario and quebec where 65 mph (105 kmh) is the speed limit for them. This is going to be more common in Europe where they are set to 55 miles per hour 90 km per hour. Western states 55-70 mph Because States like Idaho Wyoming and Montana use 70 miles per hour Washington State 60 Oregon and California 55 mph.
@@sjfk1306 yeah I-10 west of San Antonio & toll road 130 that takes you around Austin from San Antonio tx to jarrell tx has 80mph speed limit. People go 90 or more sometimes
@@vicenteflores9711 yep. I drive 18 but I’m not governed. I mean, it’s set to 97 so basically not. Many states are 80. Most of the commenters on this video are completely useless and clueless garbage of society and they make it very obvious without even realizing it.
Here is a better idea....if your going to govern a truck,govern it at the highest speed limit in the nation and let the driver dive. Two trains on one track at two different speeds,SOMEONE IS GONNA GET HIT
I had a car pace me from Baltimore to DC on I 95. I eventually lost sight of them as they were by my right fender. A similar car (headlights) saw their little road block and backed of a went around. I thought it was that car. double checked my mirrors, flipped on my signal and smashed the first car driven by an idiot teenager. Pushed em sideways down the road a few hundred feet. Sickening feeling. Lost my job. Nobody was hurt.
He was passing the car…. He gets behind the car, car slows down, he goes to pass, car speeds up. And that’s what’s bullshit. Don’t comment on something you know nothing about shit for brains.
@@AceSmoke662 Exactly. I hate retards like this. My truck is governed at 70. I'll catch up to these people in the right lane. I'll then get into the left lane to pass, and just magically, once I get into the left lane and I'm halfway through passing them, they start matching my speed for absolutely no reason. These road Karens don't realize that most of these truck drivers get paid by the mile. When you make us slow down because you're going too slow, you're literally causing the drivers to make less money. You don't know where they're going. They've got a speed limiter restricting them, and they could have another 500-600 miles left on their trip. for the day. Don't make a 75,000 lb vehicle slow down because you're going too slow in your 3,300 lb vehicle and can EASILY accelerate to the truck's governed limit.
You are correct my friend. Like firefighters, the number of women in the profession however, is less than 10% in the United States. All the best, Cheers Rick
No because if u do that then u are saying that all semis will go as fast as they want which will mean more wrecks and injuries and death from in general,so as annoying as the speed limiters are to the general public,it is for safety.
People follow that white line on the fast lane and keep up with the semi driver to save fuel that way the car can be pulled by the semi trucker,which makes it dangerous for the trucker! Stop that people!!!
It’s actually dangerous to have the truck governed the reason why the company govern these truck is because of fuel which put the driver and other people at risk while the speed limit is 70 mph on the highway if every major highway was 65 that I would’ve been understandable, but since every highway is 70 and up, every truck should go 70 end up, not 65
I would just tap the brakes & let that car pass not unless that car was purposely going slow down with me I guess we both going be going 5mph then until I can get over 🤷🏼♂️
I beg to differ. Trucks absolutely go 60-65-75 and faster - and they pass everyone like there's no tomorrow. So apparently this so-called safety mechanism is being ignored.
oh for sure. there are many truckers that have a laptop that they will edit this safety feature at their leisure. Does not help that for $300 you can get a device to connect inline to you transmission that lies to the computer saying your at the governed speed whilst you are actually going much much faster. Great for fooling some people. Huge lawsuits if found after an accident
Bro I drive from la to vegas. MOST of these trucks are absolutely NOT governed at 60. They consistently go 70-75 and pass each other like it’s fuckin leap frog on a two lane highway. Who gives a damn if a faster car is coming up in the left lane just cut them off and pass the other truck.
People should let these Truckers do what they need to do then you keep everybody safe you quit tailgating if you're behind me when you can't see his mirrors and you're too close back off
My opinion that is both their fault . Started with the car but trucker should just slowed down instead of trying to push the car back . Nobody wanted to be the bigger person
He was passing the car…. He gets behind the car, car slows down, he goes to pass, car speeds up. And that’s what’s bullshit. Don’t comment on something you know nothing about shit for brains.
It’s easy to say, coming from somebody who doesn’t drive a truck or never has. In a truck you are governed, which means you can’t go above a certain speed. Usually In a semi that speed is between 60-70 mph. If you’re in a semi and the speed limit is 70 and you are able to go that speed, but you have a car going 60 mph that speeds up when you pass, that car is killing your calculated ETA ( This might not be common knowledge but the basis of the job is getting from a shipper to receiver in a ridiculously short time frame most times, so when you see us moving, we have somewhere to be and every mile and minute count) and making himself a danger to himself and everyone on the road. The point in this lesson which has flown over your head, when you see a semi you need to steer clear. Normal cars can brake, speed up and maneuver 10x quicker and better than a semi, so it’s on you to use competence when we come rolling through.
@@phulen7681 which part did he say the truck cant slow and pull behind the car? it's way more dangerous to just cut in front of a car when the truck can't go above 60 mph.
@@phulen7681 just admit that you dont know the answer and you are trolling. that paragraph doesn't even say why. just because ETA is important to the trucker doesnt mean it's an excuse to make a dangerous move. just because a semi is slow doesnt mean everyone else should get out of the way. use your brain and give a valid argument.
The truch driver is to be a professional driver so they should be a responsible as a driver. The little car is not a professional driver so don't expect them to understand what big trucks do. The little car has the right to its lane the big truck is to follow the rules of the road. I was I class 1 driver I don't expect car drivers to understand . I never had a accident. Even though many car drivers did not follow the rules of the road.
He was passing the car…. He gets behind the car, car slows down, he goes to pass, car speeds up. And that’s what’s bullshit. Don’t comment on something you know nothing about shit for brains.
I used to drive a big box truck and that trucker was very wrong cause I've done that same crap on the highway r I can tell you if D O T sees the video he gets into trouble since he should have gotten behind the car for safety sake.. So look what happened the car decided to go ahead faster cause they are able too and gets back in front.. Just keep your distance and your good
That still was not safe even after the truck got over because the car just went around and cut off his following distance I hate that they do that to me all day long no sense or they'll be scared to pass me on the left side but not scared to become a pancake by cutting right in front, inches from my deer grad l guard.
People are so tribal in this country, it's actually unbelievable. Rules of the road are rules of the road, and a turn signal does not Grant you right of way in any situation. Period. Not for big trucks not for little cars not for bicycles, a turn signal is a warning that you would like to turn. Also, most states have a law prohibiting tractor-trailers from driving in the left lane. The tractor-trailer could have been breaking the law just being in the left lane, and if he was a good truck driver he would have seen the grade coming and known he couldn't make the pass, slow down and got behind the little car. But big brave I drive a truck had to be the winner, and could have sent that little car into Oblivion had he made contact with it.

They gotta understand the trucks 10x they size lets respect 1 another and get home safe too the families. Dont pass 18 wheeler on the right and never ever brake check a 18 wheeler they dont stop on a dime empty or loaded ok ok class that what u learn in respect the trucker usa 👏 thanks 😅
oh sure... blame the car. Trucker is the one to blame here. why is he passing when he can only do maybe 63 or 64? Then the swerving at the car .. Dangerous driving there. Truckers like this need to have their commercial licence revoked and be charged. 100% if his swerving caused the car to lose control, he would of just kept going.
Having a truck governed at 60 MPH is not only stupid it's dangerous sometimes you need that extra speed to avoid something the idiots that made these laws and these rules have never driven a truck a day in their life they need to drive a truck and see what it's like then maybe the trucking industry will be strong again right now it's very weak because of idiots and their rules
Shit come to north ,ms to state hwy 55 these trucks are turned up with super tunes I got passed yesterday by a white pete389 hood truck pulling a full tanker of fuel an I guarantee he was between 85-90 easy😂
We can go faster, that's why we stepped out into the passing lane. This is what most of you fail to understand, we didn't go out there to play with our Peter. You have, at some point, sped up and are blocking us.
Trucker doesn't belong in the left lane if it's limited to 65. Just slow down and file in behind the car. Yes the car should yield but some people are dumb and truckers are supposed to be professionals.

To tell you what’s irritating this happens consistently when cars get on the highway honestly I’m not mad but laughing when they don’t get to push trucks over and keep going ps don’t play chicken we can’t always get into the other lane want shit to buy stop pacing trucks it’s dangerous and we don’t tolerate it we use cameras get your plate and pass it on to the highway patrol
I had to do 85 today because a knight truck decided to speed up instead of letting me in, I was already doing 65 and had no time to stop before the wall I had to do 85 to get in front of him and stay at 83 so that he wasn’t pushing me.
Why didn't the semi just keep his slow ass behind traffic like he should have. This is nobody's issue except that semis. That car was not pacing the semi, he was going the speedlimit

As I say safety is a slogan you need to teach skills to drivers drivers are beat up safety propaganda in such a way when it comes to crunch time they don't know what to do they have no confidence in what they're doing they have a slogan bouncing around in their head instead of paying attention to what's really going on
The right lane is for following the speed limit or going slower. That truck driver needs to swallow his pride and move back over and wait for a better time to pass instead of forcing his way over.
Then the little car gets back in front and goes slow again, people in cars are dicks People don't understand that trucks deliver everything you consume, give them a break and move on, get away from trucks please
That whole situation is a truck driver's fault. All he had to do was slow down and go behind that car. But no he had to have a hard-on. I got to cut this car off 2 ft in front of it and show my ass and show that I'm not a professional driver. I'm just a douchebag. I see a lot of this. I see a lot of trucks, tailgating cars, hell, semis, tailgate each other. I've been driving a truck for 32 years I don't. I don't play games out here and trying to cut people off and speed up just so I can get in front of them. It's stupid when you can slow down and go behind them. This truck driver's a douchebag in my in my professional driving career. He's a douchebag
Tell the world you’ve never driven a truck without actually telling us… He was passing the car…. He gets behind the car, car slows down, he goes to pass, car speeds up. And that’s what’s bullshit. Don’t comment on something you know nothing about shit for brains.
The car wasn’t giving space, this is the reason the man in the video is explaining the situation and adding that most trucks are governed. The car was speeding up to remain in the way. The truck had no choice, being in the left lane for extended periods in a semi is dangerous. In most states it is usually leaning to the left and lumpy. The truck didn’t cut the car off to be aggressive, the car was clearly being the empty headed aggressor here. This is coming from a truck driver who experiences this nonsense daily.
theres always speed difference thats why the truck initiates a pass. most probably a moment ago the truck was going a bit faster than both cars so truck decideds to pass. by the time the truck gets into the left lane. car driver should understand truck is passing so car better let off the throttle a bit to let it in. afterwards car could always pass truck , speed up and cruise at a safe distance. i was a truckdriver meself this is just fourwheelers acting territorial
You don’t know how long that car was floating in front of the truck stepping on the gas trying to stay in front, happens to me all the time, I catch up to someone and all of a sudden the want to match my speed and float in front of me, and when I try and pass they step on the gas and make me speed up to over 80mph some times to pass them, your playing with your life when you mess with us, some of us are not governed and ain’t about playing games with you all on the highway we’re working let us do our job and stay out of our way, and if you all have the mindset of you don’t like truckers then just don’t buy shit, because everything you buy from the food you eat to the clothes you wear, to the car you drive, even the dildo you put up your ass at night, comes off a truck!!!
@@vicenteflores9711 sometimes ya just gotta give it to them and move on. theres hell no way we as individuals teach em a lesson every single time. good day mate
Naw see it's your job as the professional driver to remain safe. it's not our problem if you don't want to add 5 seconds or 10 seconds to your total time because you had to lift the throttle. If you want to go around people then have the power to do... it get your own truck make sure it has enough power to do so. if you want to do a company truck I guarantee you the company would not agree with how you think it should go down. And I'm 100% sure that dot wouldn't want it to go down the way you wanted to go down. Now will I do what this little car did... no... I'm not an a****** but that's not the point the point is you're the professional driver.

Cause if the Truck hits 88mph it will go back in time and they will have to reload the semi and do the drive over again. 😉
Simple, a 64 mph truck is legal in Ontario, a truck able to go above 105 km/h is not.
If you're in a governed vehicle, then you need to take that into consideration before attempting to overtake another vehicle. A large truck getting stuck in the left lane is a major cause of slowdowns.
Remember that your to share the road. Also operate your vehicle in a safe manner .
Most trucks I pass are going 65 to 70. I think they are governed at 65, not 60. Plus I've seen owner operators going 80. Either way, if it's heavy traffic than yeah I'd let them infront of me. In light traffic if they are trying to pass me (which is never) I'd let them through if I'm going slow enough for them to pass.
Or the truck should stay in the right lane
Why? And go 10 mph slower than he can? 🤦♂️. That’s not how the world works karen.
@@sjfk1306dangerous mindset. Remember it wasn't me.
@@handyjoe2927 it’s not a dangerous mindset…. You driving your forester in the middle lane and pacing trucks so they can’t pass you is dangerous…
For starters most big trucks aren't governed company trucks are governed.
that might be a bit of an overstatement
I see trucks going 75-80 here and driving FEET behind other cars. in South Carolina all the time, usually truckers are better drivers, not here.
When the truck passes the front of your car flash your headlights so he knows it's safe to turn in front of you i drive to Florida it helps the truckers out
Governors sucks. I had one on a 28’U-Haul going through Kansas I hit 65 going down the one hill in the state & I had a wind behind me.
Looks like the truck driver should have yielded right of way, not the car. Just because someone wants to change lanes, doesn't mean they legally have right of way. And by your statements, did he maintain minimum safe distance when he pulled in front of the car?
What's the big emergency why can't the truck just stay in the right lane and save fuel and maybe save some lives everybody always seems to side with the trucker the trucker had an option he could have slowed down and got behind the guy
It also is the cause of turtle racing where one truck is governed to only 60 and the other is just over, but also heavier.. one truck just can’t get passed because he can’t get the speed.
Right or wrong, who's going to lose if you collide?
The end looks like he deliberately slowed dwn again
65 miles an hour is the average
Unless they own their truck they go between 63 mph and 72 mph depending on what company, my company we go 70
1. A large % of semis have their speed governed. Speed is set by company ranging from 55 to 75. Some trucks are not governed at all and can keep up with you no matter what.
2. The car was being an inconvenience. It is not illegal to be an inconvenience. Just makes you an asshole to the trucker and some those forced to slow down as a result.
3. Semi driver wasn't rude he was aggressive trying to force the car to speed up or down by creeping across the line...aggressive driving IS illegal.
As a trucker, I can tell you this happens to all drivers on a regular basis. There is no excuse for being aggressive. Speed up and pass, slow down, and get behind if you need to catch the granny lane. Otherwise, wait it out in the 🔨 lane. Hint, sitting in the 🔨 lane is usually the wrong answer!
Helpful indeed and there is a reason to why trucks in the United States are set to 65 miles per hour it's stopped in the northeast parts of the Great Lakes it's very common for them to cross into Ontario and quebec where 65 mph (105 kmh) is the speed limit for them. This is going to be more common in Europe where they are set to 55 miles per hour 90 km per hour.
Western states 55-70 mph Because States like Idaho Wyoming and Montana use 70 miles per hour Washington State 60 Oregon and California 55 mph.
75mph and 80mph in Texas
75 bud...75mph
Uh… 80MPH….
@@sjfk1306 yeah I-10 west of San Antonio & toll road 130 that takes you around Austin from San Antonio tx to jarrell tx has 80mph speed limit. People go 90 or more sometimes
@@vicenteflores9711 yep. I drive 18 but I’m not governed. I mean, it’s set to 97 so basically not. Many states are 80.
Most of the commenters on this video are completely useless and clueless garbage of society and they make it very obvious without even realizing it.
Here is a better idea....if your going to govern a truck,govern it at the highest speed limit in the nation and let the driver dive. Two trains on one track at two different speeds,SOMEONE IS GONNA GET HIT
I had a car pace me from Baltimore to DC on I 95. I eventually lost sight of them as they were by my right fender. A similar car (headlights) saw their little road block and backed of a went around. I thought it was that car. double checked my mirrors, flipped on my signal and smashed the first car driven by an idiot teenager. Pushed em sideways down the road a few hundred feet. Sickening feeling. Lost my job. Nobody was hurt.
There is only 1 place that truck driver is suppost to be: the right lane.
Truck could slow to get over. I use cruise control like this car may be doing. Why should I slow cause the truck can't go fast enough.
He was passing the car…. He gets behind the car, car slows down, he goes to pass, car speeds up. And that’s what’s bullshit.
Don’t comment on something you know nothing about shit for brains.
If the truck caught you but all of sudden can’t pass you sped up
@@AceSmoke662 Exactly. I hate retards like this. My truck is governed at 70. I'll catch up to these people in the right lane. I'll then get into the left lane to pass, and just magically, once I get into the left lane and I'm halfway through passing them, they start matching my speed for absolutely no reason.
These road Karens don't realize that most of these truck drivers get paid by the mile. When you make us slow down because you're going too slow, you're literally causing the drivers to make less money. You don't know where they're going. They've got a speed limiter restricting them, and they could have another 500-600 miles left on their trip. for the day. Don't make a 75,000 lb vehicle slow down because you're going too slow in your 3,300 lb vehicle and can EASILY accelerate to the truck's governed limit.
This is one of the reasons that I don't drive anymore.
There are too many
People who just have to play games for no reason.
People in the comments need to remember not every trucker is a “he”. You got plenty of females out here trucking as well, remember that!
You are correct my friend. Like firefighters, the number of women in the profession however, is less than 10% in the United States. All the best, Cheers Rick
4 wheelers suffer from these people too.
safety over fuel economy
Maybe in Canada they are governed at 60 mph. But now most trucks in America at 65-70mph
It's actually 105 km/h (65 mph) in Ontario and believe soon to be British Columbia.
Governed trucks are dangerous abolish speed limiters !
No because if u do that then u are saying that all semis will go as fast as they want which will mean more wrecks and injuries and death from in general,so as annoying as the speed limiters are to the general public,it is for safety.
@@dallascowboysnumber1fan nothing safe about govonors.
People follow that white line on the fast lane and keep up with the semi driver to save fuel that way the car can be pulled by the semi trucker,which makes it dangerous for the trucker! Stop that people!!!
It’s actually dangerous to have the truck governed the reason why the company govern these truck is because of fuel which put the driver and other people at risk while the speed limit is 70 mph on the highway if every major highway was 65 that I would’ve been understandable, but since every highway is 70 and up, every truck should go 70 end up, not 65
I would just tap the brakes & let that car pass not unless that car was purposely going slow down with me I guess we both going be going 5mph then until I can get over 🤷🏼♂️
Crazy little car, lol, for sure!
You are correct my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick
Little car is NOT pacing. Big truck-driver has no common sense.
Car is 10000% pacing kid. Pay attention.
The governor of speed is totally for insurance Safeing.
*Safety. Also fuel economy.
yay rolling road blocks
I am glad it wasn't me in the semi. Don't ask why.
That little car would’ve been made smaller??
If they want to change the lane I give them change still ain't you
I beg to differ. Trucks absolutely go 60-65-75 and faster - and they pass everyone like there's no tomorrow. So apparently this so-called safety mechanism is being ignored.
oh for sure. there are many truckers that have a laptop that they will edit this safety feature at their leisure. Does not help that for $300 you can get a device to connect inline to you transmission that lies to the computer saying your at the governed speed whilst you are actually going much much faster. Great for fooling some people. Huge lawsuits if found after an accident
Canada
Bro I drive from la to vegas. MOST of these trucks are absolutely NOT governed at 60. They consistently go 70-75 and pass each other like it’s fuckin leap frog on a two lane highway. Who gives a damn if a faster car is coming up in the left lane just cut them off and pass the other truck.
People should let these Truckers do what they need to do then you keep everybody safe you quit tailgating if you're behind me when you can't see his mirrors and you're too close back off
Nothing pisses me off more
I've never seen one governed I get passed by those things at 75mph
Never? You have never passed a truck? Do you drive 55 mph on highways?
I always push the cars to the side lol.
As a 4 wheeler, I drive faster than the trucks and slower than other 4 wheelers.
Or big truck ease off the gas and get behind little car duh
We get behind you and you start to slow down we get in passing lane and you all step on the gas, it’s a stupid game
@@vicenteflores9711 yea I know right. I hate riding next to, on side of, in front or behind stupid drivers
60 my ass, i get passed my trucks going 75 multiple times every day on way to work
That's a lie maybe in Canada not in the US.
Safety my ass it's unsafe as hell
Little car with lonely driver who likes to hang out around other vehicle instead of just enjoy their own space in the road.
My opinion that is both their fault . Started with the car but trucker should just slowed down instead of trying to push the car back . Nobody wanted to be the bigger person
He was passing the car…. He gets behind the car, car slows down, he goes to pass, car speeds up. And that’s what’s bullshit.
Don’t comment on something you know nothing about shit for brains.
Lol the little car still passed the truck and went in front what was the point of that
To prove that the truck should've just stayed behind anyway.
The truck could have slowed and pulled in behind the car !
Dude literally explained why the truck didn't do that, wtf are u watching
It’s easy to say, coming from somebody who doesn’t drive a truck or never has. In a truck you are governed, which means you can’t go above a certain speed. Usually In a semi that speed is between 60-70 mph. If you’re in a semi and the speed limit is 70 and you are able to go that speed, but you have a car going 60 mph that speeds up when you pass, that car is killing your calculated ETA ( This might not be common knowledge but the basis of the job is getting from a shipper to receiver in a ridiculously short time frame most times, so when you see us moving, we have somewhere to be and every mile and minute count) and making himself a danger to himself and everyone on the road. The point in this lesson which has flown over your head, when you see a semi you need to steer clear. Normal cars can brake, speed up and maneuver 10x quicker and better than a semi, so it’s on you to use competence when we come rolling through.
@@phulen7681 which part did he say the truck cant slow and pull behind the car? it's way more dangerous to just cut in front of a car when the truck can't go above 60 mph.
@@ms9001 dude above u literally explained your question
@@phulen7681 just admit that you dont know the answer and you are trolling. that paragraph doesn't even say why. just because ETA is important to the trucker doesnt mean it's an excuse to make a dangerous move. just because a semi is slow doesnt mean everyone else should get out of the way. use your brain and give a valid argument.
The truch driver is to be a professional driver so they should be a responsible as a driver. The little car is not a professional driver so don't expect them to understand what big trucks do. The little car has the right to its lane the big truck is to follow the rules of the road.
I was I class 1 driver I don't expect car drivers to understand . I never had a accident. Even though many car drivers did not follow the rules of the road.
He was passing the car…. He gets behind the car, car slows down, he goes to pass, car speeds up. And that’s what’s bullshit.

Yeah that's more like it what I see, so many times that has happened to me in all of the years I drove big truck's
It’s common sense… that is not terribly common
I used to drive a big box truck and that trucker was very wrong cause I've done that same crap on the highway r I can tell you if D O T sees the video he gets into trouble since he should have gotten behind the car for safety sake.. So look what happened the car decided to go ahead faster cause they are able too and gets back in front.. Just keep your distance and your good
I know someone who did 120
That still was not safe even after the truck got over because the car just went around and cut off his following distance I hate that they do that to me all day long no sense or they'll be scared to pass me on the left side but not scared to become a pancake by cutting right in front, inches from my deer grad l guard.
Nah
TRUCK HAS TO SLOW DOWN THEN GO BEHIND THE LITTLE CAR. ITS CALLED PATIENCE. NOW GTFOH
People are so tribal in this country, it's actually unbelievable.
Rules of the road are rules of the road, and a turn signal does not Grant you right of way in any situation. Period. Not for big trucks not for little cars not for bicycles, a turn signal is a warning that you would like to turn.
Also, most states have a law prohibiting tractor-trailers from driving in the left lane. The tractor-trailer could have been breaking the law just being in the left lane, and if he was a good truck driver he would have seen the grade coming and known he couldn't make the pass, slow down and got behind the little car. But big brave I drive a truck had to be the winner, and could have sent that little car into Oblivion had he made contact with it.
Most states do not have a lane restriction for trucks. Why do people from California think the rest of the country is like them?
@@lakeedwards6408 I'm from New York and there are no double axle vehicles allowed in the left lane unless it is a two-lane road or construction Lane blockage etc

They gotta understand the trucks 10x they size lets respect 1 another and get home safe too the families. Dont pass 18 wheeler on the right and never ever brake check a 18 wheeler they dont stop on a dime empty or loaded ok ok class that what u learn in respect the trucker usa 👏 thanks 😅
oh sure... blame the car. Trucker is the one to blame here. why is he passing when he can only do maybe 63 or 64? Then the swerving at the car .. Dangerous driving there. Truckers like this need to have their commercial licence revoked and be charged. 100% if his swerving caused the car to lose control, he would of just kept going.
Having a truck governed at 60 MPH is not only stupid it's dangerous sometimes you need that extra speed to avoid something the idiots that made these laws and these rules have never driven a truck a day in their life they need to drive a truck and see what it's like then maybe the trucking industry will be strong again right now it's very weak because of idiots and their rules
Shit come to north ,ms to state hwy 55 these trucks are turned up with super tunes I got passed yesterday by a white pete389 hood truck pulling a full tanker of fuel an I guarantee he was between 85-90 easy😂
They are dangerous
Then they need to slow down if they can't go faster......
We can go faster, that's why we stepped out into the passing lane. This is what most of you fail to understand, we didn't go out there to play with our Peter. You have, at some point, sped up and are blocking us.
Trucker doesn't belong in the left lane if it's limited to 65. Just slow down and file in behind the car. Yes the car should yield but some people are dumb and truckers are supposed to be professionals.
First learn more about what your. Talking about most company trucks. Are governed at 65 to 68 mph not 60.
Here we go again. The truck could have just got behind the car. It's bullshit to say they car didn't let him in.

To tell you what’s irritating this happens consistently when cars get on the highway honestly I’m not mad but laughing when they don’t get to push trucks over and keep going ps don’t play chicken we can’t always get into the other lane want shit to buy stop pacing trucks it’s dangerous and we don’t tolerate it we use cameras get your plate and pass it on to the highway patrol
I had to do 85 today because a knight truck decided to speed up instead of letting me in, I was already doing 65 and had no time to stop before the wall I had to do 85 to get in front of him and stay at 83 so that he wasn’t pushing me.
Ohh man 83? Wild stuff...... can't believe you survived....
Why didn't the semi just keep his slow ass behind traffic like he should have. This is nobody's issue except that semis. That car was not pacing the semi, he was going the speedlimit

Just hit the s.o.b.
Or just hit your brakes and slow down and get behind him lmao what’s 1mph ?? Shouldn’t be a trucker then .

The right lane is for following the speed limit or going slower. That truck driver needs to swallow his pride and move back over and wait for a better time to pass instead of forcing his way over.
Truck needs to fall back

Someone needs to call on this semi
This is the way most crashes happen
You can be right...or you can be dead right. All the best, Cheers Rick
I disagree. The way that truck cut off the car was way more dangerous than the car not letting them pass
The car wasn’t giving space, this is the reason the man in the video is explaining the situation and adding that most trucks are governed. The car was speeding up to remain in the way. The truck had no choice, being in the left lane for extended periods in a semi is dangerous. In most states it is usually leaning to the left and lumpy. The truck didn’t cut the car off to be aggressive, the car was clearly being the empty headed aggressor here. This is coming from a truck driver who experiences this nonsense daily.
theres always speed difference thats why the truck initiates a pass. most probably a moment ago the truck was going a bit faster than both cars so
truck decideds to pass. by the time the truck gets into the left lane. car driver should understand truck is passing so car better let off the throttle a bit to let it in. afterwards car could always pass truck , speed up and cruise at a safe distance. i was a truckdriver meself this is just fourwheelers acting territorial
You don’t know how long that car was floating in front of the truck stepping on the gas trying to stay in front, happens to me all the time, I catch up to someone and all of a sudden the want to match my speed and float in front of me, and when I try and pass they step on the gas and make me speed up to over 80mph some times to pass them, your playing with your life when you mess with us, some of us are not governed and ain’t about playing games with you all on the highway we’re working let us do our job and stay out of our way, and if you all have the mindset of you don’t like truckers then just don’t buy shit, because everything you buy from the food you eat to the clothes you wear, to the car you drive, even the dildo you put up your ass at night, comes off a truck!!!
@@makotohanazawa6560 exactly happens to me always, they want to float in front of me and keep me there when I was going faster than them

Naw see it's your job as the professional driver to remain safe. it's not our problem if you don't want to add 5 seconds or 10 seconds to your total time because you had to lift the throttle. If you want to go around people then have the power to do... it get your own truck make sure it has enough power to do so. if you want to do a company truck I guarantee you the company would not agree with how you think it should go down. And I'm 100% sure that dot wouldn't want it to go down the way you wanted to go down. Now will I do what this little car did... no... I'm not an a****** but that's not the point the point is you're the professional driver.
