An intriguing road rage incident involving a Corvette driver and a Dodge truck driver was videotaped by a motorist caught in traffic.
The red Corvette driver makes sure that the truck driver doesn’t attempt to merge into an exit lane off the highway in the video. The driver of the Corvette rolls down his window and gives the truck driver the finger after refusing to let him merge.
The Dodge truck driver responds by driving ahead and then revving his engine, which causes a lot of smoke to be blown into the Corvette and land squarely in the driver’s face.
As the smoke clears, the man filming starts chuckling. The driver of the Corvette eventually permits the other motorist to merge into the lane when the smoke has cleared.
On June 28, the event was captured on camera in Tacoma, Washington. The license plates on both vehicles were from Washington State.
“I was driving through traffic near Seattle and noticed a Corvette not wanting to let a Dodge merge over into the lane, so the Dodge pulled beside him,” the man who recorded the event wrote when he posted the footage to YouTube. The Dodge owner smothered him with so much smoke that you couldn’t even see the driver inside the car as the Corvette driver rolled down his window and attempted to flip him off. In the end, he let the truck pass.
On Facebook, the video has received over 7,200 shares and over 553,000 views.
Road rage incidents like this one can be both shocking and entertaining to witness. While it is never a good idea to engage in such behavior while behind the wheel, it is hard not to be amused by the way this Dodge truck driver got his revenge on the Corvette driver.
The video serves as a reminder to always stay calm and collected while driving, even when faced with frustrating situations. It is important to remember that road rage can have serious consequences and is never worth risking the safety of yourself and others on the road.
In the end, it is clear that the Dodge truck driver got the last laugh in this situation. By using a creative and non-violent method to get back at the Corvette driver, he was able to make his point without causing any harm.
As this video continues to circulate on social media, it serves as a cautionary tale for all drivers to remain patient and courteous while on the road. It is always better to take a deep breath and let someone merge in front of you than to engage in a dangerous game of one-upmanship.
