He might be talking about my comment. "Looking straight ahead"
I don't know what happened. I do know that there are two sides to the story. The T driver really got.....ticked off. In which made it sound really bad, but hey. I once was a driver. Back then you use to get tired with being able to get by with regulations. Back then! As for the person who stuck the hand out. Well, we still don't know the rest of the story. As Paul use to say.......
Hopeing someone will come up with it. Look at the time.

there is no defense in this. not only did the truck have to slam on it's brakes so did the following truck and cars. what if the truck jack knifed ? maybe taking out several cars and killing some people. with out this tape it would just go down as another trucker out of control kills family of 5 . the hwy was built for Commerce not joy riding. the second truck had plenty of power to pull the grade unlike the first truck.

I don't know about New Zealand, but the Interstate system in this country was not built for commerce, it was built for the military, at least that was Eisenhower's intention. I'm not standing up for the idiot in the video, but there are a lot of arrogant OTR drivers on the highways today, not at all like it was in the 60's.

Or he might be referring to my post. I also drove truck professionally for 18 years! Trash Trucks, Cement Trucks over 100K #'s, and even Brinks Trucks! Until Reagan "de-regulated" (but that's another story), But while I think the duece driver is contemptable for his action(s), I also do not know what drove him to those actions! The trucker(s) and the duece driver may have had reasons for what ever happened earlier that day but, we may never know!

But I don't believe that makes anyone less of anything for voicing an opinion! IMHO / YMMV / My Point Oh Two ? / yada yada yada
