Wanted to see if a firearm or weapon was coming. Probably why cop lets him get back in the truck, because trucker was lucky enough to forget to bring it with him when he did get out lol

u/A-KindOfMagic 21d ago
yep the cunt was cutting off that police car. They probably honked and the trucker got triggered.

u/deathhead_68 21d ago edited 21d ago
Likely there was a lane closure up ahead and despite the right thing to do being a 'zipper merge', its hard to perceive when the lane actually ends and so lots of people often decide to queue up really early, making the whole thing way more congested than it needs to be.
Then when cars try to merge later on (within reason) its like they are cutting in line, and the lorry driver decided to try and stop that from happening, even though the whole thing shouldn't even be like that.
10
u/UnknownPh0enix 21d ago
Is that why the truck ahead had its right signal on, and was turning into the right lane? Lot of assumptions being made.
17
u/MixerFistit 21d ago
Maybe similar here as UK. Queuing in one lane almost always happens in UK as some people incorrectly think they need to get over ASAP and those that know better do it anyway so as not to get into the inevitable rage incident by those that don't know better. We end up with a long single line backing up on to the previous junction/roundabout causing gridlock on other roads. Guys like this truck driver like to play pretend cop and stop "queue jumpers" when if everyone just merged in turn in the first place like they were supposed to there'd be no problem and no queue jumping (and crucially no excessively long queue blocking other junctions). Most video clips on social media attract the clowns into the comment sections where they'll argue against using both lanes but these are usually the kind of driver that can only look 6ft in front of their own car. They need re-educating. Professional drivers like this truck driver should be fined or suspended as they should know better.

u/htmlcoderexe 21d ago
Professional drivers are often the worst. It feels like they're thinking "well I'M driving for a good reason unlike all those others" or possibly "I lose money by being nice to others "

u/Cute-Region-3449 21d ago
Also, one of the biggest problems, at least in the U.S.A is everyone is ME ME ME! Or they JUST HAVE TO get in front of a truck to save a couple seconds, there’s no way they can be behind a big slow truck…. Yes I am a truck driver and yes unfortunately I drive a slow truck but I’m one of the considerate ones…. Also in this video, sometimes you have to do this depending on the city for the reasons stated above…. However getting out of the truck was definitely a dipshit move!

u/MixerFistit 21d ago
The weird thing is merge in turn seems to create anger and often anticipated anger, drivers are on high alert to block lanes or drive on the ass of the car in front to prevent merging but then most drivers in an almost gridlock situation will allow alternating junction entries. So say I'm on the main priority road and it's queuing, I let one car enter and move on, the car behind will do the same even though we have priority. It suddenly turns into a 'we're all in this together let's drop priority and work it out' but merge in turn seems to create this massive conflict of me vs the rest. I understand it is annoying to see one car flying past everyone else but he wouldn't be able to if the queue was set up properly. The anxiety of conflict caused the single file and the single file causes the conflict. There is a permanent merge in turn near me where they've installed permanent bollards down between the lanes so you can't change lanes until the merge, it seems to have fixed the majority of issues

u/ant0szek 2d ago
In polish law, you ride to the end of the line and merge. And each car on the right lane must let at least 1 car in for merge, just like in zipper. Also blocking the left lane like that, called Sheriff is illegal.
2
u/MindfulGateTraveller 19d ago
In my experience merging at the last possible time is worse for traffic flow than doing it shortly after the signs.
4
u/deathhead_68 19d ago
Depends on many factors. Ideally if you know when the merge is happening, you have time to neatly zip together in an alternating fashion. If nobody is doing that then I don't think there is an issue unless you're doing it right at the last second

u/BonkerBleedy 18d ago
Because there was room to merge, and when they started to merge the cop rushed in being a fucking dickhead.

u/Prior-Ad-7329 21d ago
Probably cause the cop tried to block him from moving over, although it was his fault for cutting him off without even using his blinker.

This seems like a dream sequence. Its similar to the ones where a group of bad guys are harassing some damsel in distress, and then I bust all of their asses with my samurai karate chops. Then I wake up, and remember I'm just some average dude.

If you were in the USA they wouldn’t have let you drive off. In Poland they don’t give a fuck lol better stuff to worry about than ego over a road rager.

u/CL0n3_pl 20d ago
Not really that it's an old video but if I remember correctly it's not police it's BOR( biuro ochrony rządu -government protection bureau ) which was basically equivalent of secret service, they didn't have jurisdiction to give traffic tickets

u/Scary_Wheel_8054 2d ago
I was thinking the same thing, too many cars in Poland have emergency lights that aren’t police, that have some other function

u/AlexHimself 20d ago
Ah. In the US they'd make sure he was severely punished. Kinda feel like somewhere in the middle would be better. Like, give him one good slap and let him go.

How? Unless the right lane was ending the truck driver needed to give way to the vehicles in the left lane. Anyhow he didn’t use the indicator.

u/MiFcioAgain 1d ago
It's really rare for the right lane to end in places like this in Poland, i even think that it's illegal to make roads like that. So yeah, the left line was merging and truck driver wanted to "block" the car from merging at the end of the lane. Blocking like this is illegal here and we call those people "sherifs".

Truck driver is in the wrong, they didn't turn on their left turn signal. He/she will get fired for sure.
2
u/MiFcioAgain 1d ago
That's not the problem here, this shows a road where Two lanes are merging into one lane, left lane is the one ending here, in Polish law when there is congestion at merging lanes you need to go to the end of the ending lane and then merge with the right lane, also people on the right lane need to let in at least one car, the truck driver was trying to block the left line so the car wouldn't be able to get to the merging point. Blocking like this is of course illegal and we call people like this trucker a "sherif".
