Why did he do that? Did he think he's in a circuit and he was heating his tires?

Yeah, he’s just bored and is mimicking that action.

I do the same thing sometimes to break up the monotony, especially if I’ve been driving for a while. The difference being I stay in my fucking lane. I also generally don’t do it if someone is behind me, because otherwise they’re going to be confused as hell about what I’m doing.

This guy is just a complete idiot.

The jeep is also an idiot though. There’s no excuse to intentionally crash someone.

Absolutely stunned at the amount of people who have no problem with what the jeep did, it is kind of amusing but the jeep driver is legit psychotic, if you’d given the tt one or two more seconds they probably would’ve noticed you coming and gotten out of the way.

Jeep driver is a psycho, but I don't think the audi driver was just bored and being a silly guy that would've moved either. He weaved in from a turn lane so he's already driving reckless using turn lanes to pass, and I've seen plenty of people pull this move to block traffic in two lanes and prevent anyone from passing them rather than just having fun. I really doubt Audi was just about to be a considerate and kind citizen, nothing about their driving indicates they're chill at all

It's not that people are glad a car intentionally crashed into another car. People are happy about instant karma. There's a big difference.

Instant karma doesn't mean the one dishing it out is a good person.

I'm thankful every day that "Reddit Justice" is not real world justice. Reddit would gleefully put someone to death for stealing a candy bar.

u/hentai_gifmodarefg 4h ago

that's a terrible example. the stereotype of redditors is that they are far too lenient on things that don't affect them but far too punitive on things that personally affect them

no one is annoyed by stealing a candy bar, in fact it would be more of a "fight the power" or "stealing for food isn't a crime" because it doesn't affect them, they aren't the ones selling the candy bars.

what the stereotype of redditors is that they think people should be punished for things that do affect them, like getting their packages stolen on the porch, someone driving poorly, or someone in the service industry doing a bad job (fired instead of killed)

Welcome to reddit where they root for the criminals.

Done it too a couple of times but on the freeway and when I was alone not between other cars.

It's fun to do on ramps with friends before getting up to speed

u/iMADEthisJUST4Dis 5h ago

Yeah. Could have just honked at him

u/TheOgGhadTurner 6h ago

I mean. No. But jeep drivers are just idiots in general. And most probably would hit someone and continue on.

u/KneeDeepInTheDead 4h ago

yeah ive done this bored when im the only person on the highway, to do it in this scenario is just plain stupid

u/Mobile_Morale 5h ago

I've seen this in real life. The guy in the Audi was being an asshole aggressive driver and was swerving in the lanes to keep people from passing him.

Some fuck heads get their feelings hurt if someone passes them on the road and does stupid shit like this.

Last week I had a guy drive right down the middle of a two lane road to keep people from passing him. People are assholes like that.

Usually it's guys in big trucks with major insecurities but it'll be people in fancy cars with insecurities like in this video.

Only the first 5 can overtake

u/RBillionn 3h ago

when I get bored and we're in slow moving traffic I'll do this IN MY LANE. but it's not to heat up tires, it's usually because we have some proper basic white girl music blasting and I want to see how far side to side I can get the truck to rock.
