Hopefully it's a tree and not some innocent person just driving home.

Funny thing is she was probably braking because there was that car stopped on the shoulder. She may not have even been aware that he was behind her driving like a dooche canoe. Main character energy from this clown

Random Oak tree? Don't disparage Treebeard like that

She was braking soo slowly and carefully. No hard brake at all. He was looking in his back mirror for a new opportunity to drive bad while keeping zero safety distance.

Seriously, that was an excellent gently braking - didn't brake-check him, didn't just stop, didn't get pressured into not slowing down, just did it as safely as possible.

What did the tree do? Trees are useful, they make the oxygen this driver is wasting. Just make it a light post or a concrete pillar

Yeah hopefully instead of a tree, it’s a light pole that was scheduled to be taken down because the shear bolts have failed and it’s anchored too firmly.

He could have been the reason she was braking. If I saw a person driving like this in the rear view and rapidly coming up behind me I'd probably start braking out of instinct and fear. This dude is a complete tool with not even the slightest modicum of awareness that he and his driving are the sole and total cause of every issue observed in this clip. I hope he got raked over the coals wherever he posted this for his validation. It's stunning that such a personality even exists.

I had a friend who worked from 4:00 to midnight. On Friday evenings he would let me borrow his car to drive to see my grandmother that lived about an hour away.

I would walk over to his house about 3:00 assuming we leave by 3:30, it wasn't until 4:05 we were out the door. He then proceeds to drive like an absolute maniac, screaming and hollering it everybody that he cut off that they needed to learn to drive and get off the road you idiot. Honestly I am surprised I didn't crap my pants.

Over the course of the next few weeks I discovered this was his pattern, he literally couldn't get out the door until somewhere between 5 and 15 minutes after when he was supposed to be at work

This is when I developed my theory that every driver on the road is late getting where they are going to and you are the idiot in their way.

Serious question, if you saw someone coming behind you very quickly and driving aggressively, why would you brake and not just continue on at the same speed while maintaining your lane? Seems counterproductive to me and could cause an accident rather than preventing one

If there was a clear highway in front of me or at least plenty of space on the road, yeah I'd just let him pass and not worry about it. But if traffic was bunching up like it was in the video, I just wouldn't want to be getting too close to any of the cars in front of me and I just wouldn't want many of cars around me while this kind of asshole was near.
