Again, just proves the theory that trucks (of all sizes) cause nearly all of the problems on the nation's roads. The big trucks are a hazard to public safety just being on the road at all - and the pickups are generally driven by jerks whose driving abilities are eclipsed by their egos and small penii.

Did anyone else totally expect the truck in the left lane to be pulling a horse trailer?

Camaro guy was bat squeeze crazy for even thinking of driving on the shoulder.
I thought that at first but you can see a shadow of a vehicle in front of the pickup when the incident first started. He was in line passing the semi trucks. After the camero tried to merge into his right side he then started to mess with the Camero driver.

We'll be seeing a lot more scenes like this as dashboard cameras become more popular. There are plenty available today for less than $100. QVC had the Sharper Image Dashboard Camera with all its accessories on sale recently for $89 (sold out quickly). Car security cameras are supposedly very popular in Russia because their car insurance is so terrible customers can't get them to pay out without photographic evidence of what happened. Seems to me if you drive a lot, less than $100 might be money well spent.

Had I had a camera installed in my car when a salt truck hit my (legally) parked vehicle, I might have been able to recover damages from the city.

Sometimes while driving, some *******will do something stupid on the road because they're in a huge rush to get to Dunkin Donuts or whatever... and think to myself "I would be okay seeing this guy in the ditch up ahead". The person in the camaro is this guy.

Yes, the truck had a vehicle in front of him. Not sure why that would not be clear to anyone viewing the clip.
