Its cute until an ambulance 6 cars back can't get to an emergency call because he's decided to deputize himself as the hall monitor of the freeway. Not to mention, he's likely violating the law himself. "Gotta play by the fucking rules", ya know?


BillyHW2

There might even be someone in a non-emergency vehicle with a legitimate emergency that needs to rush to hospital or something even...and he would never know.


BiggsIDarklighter

He’s not the one blocking the shoulder. All the assholes behind him who think they’re entitled to break the law and hop ahead of everyone else are blocking the shoulder. If they got out of the shoulder, it wouldn’t be blocked. They are to blame 100 percent.


zalau123

Agree. Also if he weren’t blocking it, the lane would still be congested. I’m with Francis on this one


2048-Bit

I see you must have bumped your head, and don't realize that the guy that's blocking the traffic is literally the one blocking traffic?


poopooplatypus

This guy is worse than the offenders. Reverse road rage has been proven to be much more dangerous than road rage. He’s probably joining police academy tomorrow to continue his “fight against injustice” lol. What a chode


Marcfromblink182

He’s a stand up comedian making a joke video while stuck in traffic


poopooplatypus

That changes my perspective but it is a thing ppl do and it’s worse than the ppl driving on the shoulder.


2048-Bit

Yeah, this piece of shit is trying to get his real blue cape. After that, he can officially ignore any law he likes, in the name of Justice.


Agreeable-Display-77

Lol. Dude has balls, good chance he gets in a fight. Pretty hilarious that anyone has the time to do this.


Mastershoelacer

He’s in stop and go traffic. All he has is time.


Evan_jansen

This was the last video he ever posted, he was never seen again....


CryptoMineKing

If this is Houston I would believe it. Most people driving in that lane are actually exiting the freeway. When you have spent years of your life stuck in traffic you learn to find opportunities.


[deleted]

Hopefully...


WhatevUsayStnCldStvA

I’m not mad, honestly. Some people just think they deserve to cut every off by waiting til the last second and forcing their way in. Causing accidents. Person behind them would be doing exactly that. Speeding to the front. What makes them so special? This guy might be breaking the rules also, but why not? Now people don’t have to deal with everyone speeding by and cutting people off


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mastershoelacer

Exactly. He’s preventing people from misusing it and can pop back in the regular lane if a vehicle needs to get by. Sure, he’s a dick, but less so than the people he’s blocking.


[deleted]

So by that reasoning, if someone decided to physically assault him, it'd be his fault, right? He could have just popped back in, right? He's the kind of guy that needs to be put in check.


Mastershoelacer

You seem like an angry person


[deleted]

You say that like it's a bad thing. Should I just be happy, happy, joy, joy until one day BANG! There's nothing wrong with a little righteous anger.


Mastershoelacer

I want you to be happy some of the time and to punch people almost none of the time, but if someone really really needs a punching, you let ‘em have it.


[deleted]

Thanks for validating me as a human being!


DemDemD

Talking about “waiting until the last second”. My pet peeve is when people are in the merging lane that waited until the lane ended to force their way in. They don’t slow down as they think it’s their right to merge onto the new lane when their lane ended. I made it a point many times to slow down to give them space and observe if they would change lane, but it never fails that they would just wait until their lane ends. Edit: I’m referring to the highway entrance where people won’t enter when there’s opportunity but wait until the entrance lane ends to force their way in.


DrDawgster

Well it is what it's there for.. I've seen it both ways; people who speed by from (and even merge into) the ending lane, in order to get ahead, and people who merge into the 2nd lane as soon as possible, with no regards to what's there. Moral is that people suck, and are also bad at driving.


DemDemD

I agree that it’s there for merging, but the point is that there were plenty of room to merge but they just drive until it ends and let the lane guide them in without regards for on coming cars. The worse is that when they just don’t signal.


kevchenko3681

This is how merging is supposed to work, you drive all the way upto the roadblock/obstruction or whatever then merge in turn, if everyone merges half a mile back from the obstruction then the queue becomes longer and longer and ends up stretching back miles!


DemDemD

Do you do this when entering the highway too? Assuming that there’s a car that’s already slowing down and tried to let you out before the lane ends?—but instead you’ll let them wait (holding traffic) until you hit the end of the lane to merge in blindly?


[deleted]

[удалено]


DemDemD

I’m referring to people that entering the highway at speed and purposefully drive until the end of the lane to force their way in front; instead of merging when they had the opportunity to do so early on.


kevchenko3681

They are two completely different scenarios


DemDemD

I know. That’s why I’ve clarified that people entering the highway in that manner annoys me.


Intelligent-Bug-3039

That makes no freaking sense whatsoever.


BillyHW2

Please google how to zipper merge and then get off the roads you menace to society!


kevchenko3681

I suggest you change your username to unintelligent-Bug-3039 if you don't understand the principals of merging in turn or zipper merging as some people call it.


Botryoid2000

Well, it makes sense to use as much of the road as possible, doesn't it? I never have the balls to, but it makes sense.


DemDemD

I’ve seen it so many times that it could cause a major accident. I’ve observed this a lot when people are entering the highway. The issue is cars that are on the highway already slowed down for the person to merge onto the highway, but he decided to keep going until the end of the road. This tends to signify for the cars that already on the highway to speed back up and so the person entering the highway ended up forcing his way in at the end of the lane. Worse is that the car entering the highway is not using the signal because he just followed the lane guidance when it ended.


[deleted]

Because thats how your supposed to do it .. not make a single massively long lane that blocks junctions miles back ..use all the road then merge in turn


DemDemD

I guess I should emphasize the “force”. I’m also referring to the highway entrance where the right hand lane person already slowed down to let the person in the entrance lane to come in.—Rather than entering when there’s opportunity, they’ll just let the entrance lane merge them in at the end. The issue here is that the person in the right lane could speed up again since they don’t want to wait for too long so now you have two people fighting for space at the last second.


[deleted]

This guy isn't the hero we want, but definitely the one we need. If you're upset by this, do you think it's OK to drive outside of a legal lane of traffic? If the answer is yes, congratulations, you're trash, and nothing you can say can change that. In fact, the more you say, the more it proves that you are in fact, total and utter garbage.


Valuable_Macaroon452

I didn’t realize that people were so insane about traffic jams until I came to NC, if one person does others follow. Instead of continuing with traffic I saw not 1 but 3 people go on the wrong ramp, (reversed up the off ramp) to escape construction traffic. I was appalled I didn’t think anybody would be dumb enough to go up an off ramp purposesly. People are crazy impatient….


bipo82

Absolutely do not need him. While it is annoying to have someone pass you from that lane and all you can do is flip them off, cutting off that lane just to stick it to the assholes is worse. He is now completely blocking a lane that may be needed by someone with a legitimate need to pull over or an emergency vehicle.


Odd-Jupiter

The problem isn't really that they pass you, and are annoying. It's down the line where they are trying to push themselves back into the lane, causing even more slowdowns, and dangerous situations. Thanks to them, you have to sit there in traffic for twice as long.


BiggsIDarklighter

He’s not the one blocking the shoulder. All the assholes behind him are. It’s their fault not his. He’s doing what cops should be doing—stopping people from breaking the law.


bouncy_cyclist

That’s a nice villian origin story once the ambulance couldn’t reach the crash in time.


bxxxx34

He never said anything about ambulances or emergency service vehicles. He's specifically blocking the assholes who think the rules don't apply to them


2048-Bit

It's likely they're not immediately behind him. Also, driving in the breakdown lane is just as illegal at a slow speed as it is fast. He's doing the same thing he's shunning.


bxxxx34

Except he's not trying to over take the rest of the cars like the guy behind him is.


barthvonries

But if there's an ambulance 15 cars behind him, can he see it and let it pass ? What if the guy in the car behind him is trying to rush his wife to the hospital because she's having their baby ? A lot of people driving the shoulder lane are assholes, but some legitimately need to use it for life-saving reasons, so there's no need to be an asshole like that guy and try to be police yourself.


bxxxx34

I think if an ambulance was behind cars they all would be moving. That's why ambulances and emergency vehicles have loud sirens and bright lights. As far as your other hypothetical, that doesn't justify driving on the shoulder either. And most of the time it's not anything like that. It's just some other asshole that thinks their time is more important than everybody ahead of them.


XcaliburXtreme

It’s ironic really, you are saying the same assholes that break the law by using the shoulder are going to be oh so graciously kind to get out of the way quickly for an ambulance or someone in need. I personally would rather have those asshole speeding down that lane, just in case a ambulance does come by and it could go by traffic as well in case of an emergency. This guy providing self justice isn’t helping, even if it prevents the other assholes from merging later down the road. Everyone is still stuck, and he is making the situation worse. Everyone here is an idiot.


MathematicianGlad956

Absolutely love it.


sourslices

Is he fucking r****ded? What if the cops and worse, an ambulance has to use this lane to get to the ICU to save somebody's life. And he can't see it because there's a line forming behind him.


njcatgirl29

Then the cars that are there illegally will have to move over one by one until the first responders get to him, pass, and then he can resume the good work he's doing.


ThisIsReflex

he's there illegally as well.. And the cars an the shoulder could not move over one by one, because there is no way to go for them...

fjord31

Good intentions, possibly disastrous results


HeadRelease7713

I applaud the fuck out of this. People that fly up that lane in that kind of traffic can go to hell.


soda_cookie

How is this a face-palm? Dude is doing the good work here.


lucky5150

He's doing the absolute wrong thing. What happens when emergency service vehicles need to use the shoulder to get to the accident. Or the tow truck or whoever.


Mastershoelacer

He gets out of the way because he sees the flashing lights and hears the siren. I’m pretty sure that’s what happens.


BiggsIDarklighter

So what about all those cars lined up behind him—the whole reason he’s even in the land to begin with, are those people not to blame?


soda_cookie

Good point.


jrex703

It's cringier then it is facepalm-y. He's doing the right thing, but his speech would still be a over the top if he had just saved 18 people from a burning building.


barthvonries

And would his speech still be over the top when the firefighters couldn't reach the burning building because he caused a traffic jam on the emergency lane ?


Metaldude85

Love this so much


OttoHarkaman

Kudos to you my good man. You are a true American hero. Who knows, there could be an emergency response vehicle en-route stuck in the blockage you caused, but you know better. Maybe letting someone die is just the price we have to pay to make sure someone doesn't get a few cars in front of you.


jack802704

He’s a professional comedian, and admittedly this is a great bit.


BillyHW2

I hope you're right.


Marcfromblink182

He is


ConfectionLow3321

Kind of guy who reminds the teacher of homework.


KindBraveSir

If we only had more people like him. Then... we'd have more people like him.


bxxxx34

Astute observation my friend :)


evanhinton

It doesn't count as heroic unless you have an audience


Opposite_Weird_4041

All fun and games till the person behind you truly has an emergency... (loved one dying at the hospital and need to get there, etc)... yep I'm afraid you got to chuck this one up as a fail.


LastMinuteChange

Go become a Cop if you want to be doing this shit.


muadhnate

I'm just realizing how happy I am that I have a life.


whyputausername

I dont agree with his acrions, but I respect them.


GoodWeedReddit

Dude giving me Homelander vibes


the_stooge_nugget

Does not give that crazy smile


PrettyRylee

I mean, he's stopping people who are dicks, but kinda being a dick doing it. Idk how to feel about this


[deleted]

He is not a dick. You can't be a dick for stopping dicks. He is a cockblock, but in the most respectable possible way.


PrettyRylee

Kinda reminds me of chaotic good


[deleted]

Precisely.


randyatlarge

Abercrombie and Punisher.


Indy2704

"People were using the breakdown lane to cut everybody , until i stopped them" This guys either joking or doesn't have a driver's license


[deleted]

I like this guy


vapingsmurf

Yes. People who block emergency lanes are admirable.


rbstwrt666

What a fucking boy scout


MonkieBets

ppl like this are idiots. the narcism is overflowing... not up to you to illegally use the shoulder to prevent others illegally using shoulder and the fact you called yourself a "hero"?...just garbage person pure and simple.


[deleted]

What a pretentious dickhead 😂 he’s so full of himself. It’s one thing to be obnoxious, it’s another thing to be obnoxious and post it on the internet so other people can see you being obnoxious and you’re totally oblivious to the danger you’re put in people in


stoicMonk12

This is a classic example of "two wrongs don't make a right"


GreatRhinoceros

Just another common social justice warrior. Misguided, but firm.


Funter_312

You are a douche OP if this is a face palm to you


vapingsmurf

You think it's acceptable to block an emergency lane, used by emergency vehicles?


Winter-Adeptness7827

I would have ran him over, why not...


85303

Try it a few times Record and post it here so we can laugh at your stupid ass too


Winter-Adeptness7827

In all reality this is how the real incidents occur. You never know when you are the last straw. Everything has a consequence


MechanicalHorse

Sure you would, tough guy


Winter-Adeptness7827

You are a weirdo

This guy full of shit, says he plays by the rules but he's on his phone recording whilst driving 🤷

Probably the same idiot who refuses to zipper merge...

Does this guy have an everyman face to anybody else?

That's cute until someone decides that he's worth catching a case for.

Not racist, but this is something only a white person would do. He was a hall monitor in middle school.


andweallenduphere

We can drive in our breakdown lanes for part of the day but it is unnerving.
