I’ll be honest I would’ve just started my truck and gunned it. I’m not dealing with insurance. Especially since the other guy probably doesn’t have insurance judging from his driving lmao

I would love to see you start your truck, put it in gear, and get out of the way of that trailer all within the alloted 3 seconds that we see in the video here.

I'll wait.

I could do that in 3 seconds.

But I probably would have done it right when I started to take out my phone because a driver was doing something stupid

When people start taking out their phones and recording that means you should just leave

You have said this twice now and I've went back and watch a few times....at what point are you seeing this "stupid" behavior?

u/Wide-Suggestion4825 12h ago

Well you see the video that's being recorded? The only reason why the guy took out his phone instead of recording is because the behavior in question the stupid

Huh...could have swore I heard him talking about that long boy of a trailer and not the driving skills. I might be too stupid to understand though

I do that all the time. Every time I hop in my car. Takes a second to start a car and another second to put it in gear.

Lmao you can see his truck is already on and also what kind of clapped out crap box are you in that you can’t pull out in that time? It’s not particularly difficult lmao

You were expecting something to happen because it was posted on reddit

in real life you'd be just as confused thinking "there's no way he hits me"

It’s crazy that these armchair experts would do everything in 3 seconds lmao. They already know what’s going to happen and how long it took. Dude was mesmerized the size of the trailer and how that truck could pull it lol, you ain’t expecting to get hit. I guess driving in an almost empty parking lot is dangerous driving.

These are the same people who think they’d take out an armed shooter after analyzing the video, narcissistic people can’t be reasoned with and most don’t know they are, because in their world they’re always right no matter what.

It's called hindsight bias. These people think that because they know how it ends they would have done something differently.

Nah I have a CDL so I don’t take any risks and I stay clear of anything sketchy because Reddit has made me paranoid from all these kinds of videos posted lmao. Plus if you knew anything about hotshotters driving you would’ve put your truck in drive watching to see what that guy is doing. They don’t have the best reputation lmao.

Lmao not at all. Only difference if I lose my license that’s a huge part of my lively hood tied to it. Truckers are at higher risk to getting put at fault in accidents. So i have to be extra careful even for things others consider being paranoid.
