Brazen truck driver caught using shortcut on verge to beat Huntsville traffic jam
Sometimes, people just don’t want to play by the rules. This was the case yesterday when a dashcam caught a truck driver going off-road to cut time off their journey. Here, the brazen trucker left the road and used the nearby grass verge to beat the queue of cars. While this would have saved significant time, it’s also selfish, dangerous, and illegal. It also doesn’t do much in terms of reinforcing the stereotype of reckless truck drivers either.
Towards the end of the video, the driver can be seen quickly cutting back into their original lane. In total, this manoeuver may have beat around ten cars in terms of getting ahead of them which begs the question of why they did this in the first place.
The video was originally uploaded to Reddit which garnered a number of comments. As you can imagine, they weren’t too happy with the off-road driver either who was lambasted for their driving skills.
Here, one user jokingly wrote: “Ah, this falls under the old truck loophole. At some point, people decide it’s in their best interest to get out of your way. You may not have insurance or brakes, but are probably ok in a fight.” Luckily for the rogue driver, no cops were on the scene. Similarly, the dash cam failed to record the plate due to grainy footage.
