Agreed, and I said as such in the post that you quoted.

the pickup driver erred by not anticipating the pass attempt (particularly since the camaro turned on his turn signal) and swerving to put the camaro into the guard rail

The thing the video doesn't show is that I'm sure what an idiot the Camaro driver was before all this took place. I'll guarantee he was the kind of diver that weaves in and out both lanes passing cars leaving around 2 feet of room between vehicles when changing lanes. Which by the way is a lot more reckless than what the truck that blocked him did, He got what he deserved, was the truck driver smart for doing what he did, probably not. Like another poster said he would have caused an accident down the road anyway.

What was the trucks plan? Block him in the entire length of his journey?

Both should be locked up. The drunk, well, for being drunk. The truck guy for purposely blocking a passing lane.

Case closed!
