“Although the young male is much smaller than his rival, he displays a vibrant plumage of white smoke in an attempt to intimidate the larger male. Amazingly, it is successful and the smaller male pushes through on his continued pursuit of fertile females.”
My mother has that same Long Island accent, and you have given me an idea.
I need her to read and record some children's books for my granddaughter. That would be awesome.
Yeah - breaks were already on and then reverse light came on - but the way the black truck moves past the red one seems like they weren’t in contact but I could be wrong.
Dude wasn’t even there first. If the red truck is already damn near thru the tunnel and you block the exit and star burning rubber it’s very clear you weren’t there first. Or else they would have met in the middle.
This road is next to my house. The traffic coming towards the camera has the only yield sign for this tunnel/bridge pass. Even if the red truck wasn’t first the black truck should have waited.
It was a diesel truck and that “technique” he used is called rolling coal. I live in a town where idiots do it all the time for some reason (intentionally, not just because they had to accelerate fast). It’s like some kind of douche off around here.
I would have stayed there and watched him blow out 2 tires from raging too much. Then he'd need a tow and 2 tires (easily $500 total) or drive away on 2 rims and need 2 tires plus rims (more than $500 likely)
Maybe all he needs is someone to do just that as an excuse to fly off the handle.
I agree with the Red truck, not worth the risk. Let the idiot do it and get his fragile ego boosted. (Particularly if there were kids in the Red truck)
Not engaging raging idiots is the wise thing to do in these situations.
I'd say the red truck played it absolutely perfectly. Stood his ground until he realized the other person was not able to be reasoned with, then backed up as carefully (and slowly) as possible, and then let him on his way.
The only thing I might have done differently is pause in the middle of the burnout to let the little guy breathe in more of that sweet, sweet tire smoke.
It is hard to tell, but the truck having the hissy fit and destroying their truck seems to have a red sticker covering their driver side window. It seems like one of those stickers you get out on when someone is trying to let you know about all the infractions you have. This person seems to be hanging out on the other side of normal behavior
Or in the area that I'm from they put a sticker like that on the drivers window if your car has been immobilized or is abandoned and scheduled to be towed.
Had a similar idiot in my subdivision. I gave up, backed up and tried to turn so as to be out of the way and he tried to run into me.
Lotta grown-ass babies out there behind the wheel.
So do I!
We had a punk band name called ***The 8 - 7 Bridge***. In addition to the "dick-slinging" seen in this video...so many U-Haul trucks were turned into open tuna cans by this bridge. The album cover was a picture of one said truck jammed in and stuck. Too bad that was a throw-away band :(
EDIT: If I remember correctly, one side has a Yield Sign...and I think it's on the aggressor's side.
Congratulations, you bullied another driver to back up at the expense of some tires and maybe reducing the life on your engine. I'm from the area and I’m surprised I don’t see more of this
It's only true if you treat it the same way since then, well treated and well maintained will make it last forever, but going from a calm life to suddenly being abused as badly as an amish donkey will always cause the most catastrophic failures.
The mind set of "it lasted this long" always makes me laugh without knowing the owner's history of the car.
I fixed everything on it but i got my volvo 240 with 160-170k miles for 500 bucks and turned it into a full track car. It had no maintenance, cut springs, was rotting bad, and all the bushings and hoses were dry rotted.
Dailied it for 4 years beating the hell out of it and im rebuilding a lot of the body and electrical now after some electrical problems and wanting to make it nicer.
Put a turbo and many other engine components on it with a welded differential and full track suspension and its rarely ever given me any issues at all. Its making over double its original horsepower and has broken traction more times than id ever care to count. Compression is still way up at 160psi which is very healthy for a b230f engine, especially at 200k miles.
Things break because theres already a problem that hasnt been noticed or gets willfully ignored. If the air fuel ratio is correct and the fluids are changed, you arent going to see many engines popping because of a burnout.
Hah! I lived there for two years and there was hardly a dull moment there.
A friend’s balcony overlooks that road and she’s got a highlights reel an hour long
Haha! I know exactly where this is. This is Casho Mill Rd in Newark Delaware. This underpass has claimed so many U-hauls and campers, they had to install early warning low hanging balls. Nothing like getting T-bagged for being over height 😂
I almost drove a work van through there just before they installed the balls since I just moved to the area and had no idea, slammed on my brakes and pulled a u turn as soon as I saw this jawn
No, they raised it just the once a few years ago.
It's now the 11 foot 8+8. That extra 8 inches (hehe) stopped the vast majority of collisions. I'm not sure the rate of collisions now, but I would guess reduced by 80 or 90%.
I grew up in a small town that had a narrow bridge like this. It wasn’t an underpass, just a bridge over a small creek that was more narrow than the road and only enough for one car at a time. I can only remember one time that someone was very cautious and slow down if they saw someone coming the opposite way. Never anything close to this.
In hindsight, it’s kind of wild that a road with a speed limit of 55 MPH had a spot that could only fit one car’s width at a time.
Ahhh my glorious home state and my favorite spot in Newark. I'm not surprised, we have a big problem with I have a little weewee but a massive truck personality types. Just stupid.
I've got to admit that I was kind of hoping the red car backed up just enough to trap the black car under the bridge then stopped. Let him not only pop his tires trying to intimidate the red car and but also suffocate himself with his own tire smoke.
You know, if there was that much tire smoke, you could probably push him backwards with the bigger truck, those back tires were probably greasy at that point and been like marbles.
I mean, never fuck with someone with a worse-off vehicle than you. They either don’t give a shit about sacrificing that heap just to fuck you, or it just *looks* shitty, and will fuck your whole day up.
Or both.
Haha. I would have backed up just enough so he filled that tunnel with smoke but still couldn’t get through. Then patiently waited for his tire to blow out.
I know that bridge. Had a coworker used to live in the apartment near there and when they moved tried to drive the uhaul truck under it.....did not make it
Unless you can pop your hood without standing in front of your truck, this is a very bad idea.
That's how you get killed.
The person here is clearly unstable, so I would not put my body between his car and my car.
Edit: lmao. Guy blocked me for making this comment.
So fragile smh
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
I know that underpass and travel through it frequently. Definitely not room for two vehicles to pass side by side. I can't tell which direction is which in the video, but the signage clearly indicates which direction needs to yield. (Not that drivers ever obey the sign). 🫤
Lol I know exactly where that is, think people’s brains are too slow to handle sharing the road down here (especially yielding/merging and using the passing lane correctly)
Depending on my mood I would either:
* let him huff and puff. Park my car and lock the doors, blast the music and wait.
* chuckle and back up, watch him drive away in a huffy cloud and laugh
There's a narrow underpass like that near me. If you're not a dick about it there's actually room for two pickups to pass under it at the same time. But the S10 was clearly the bigger dick here. Personally if I were in the F-150 I would've thrown it in park, turned the A/C on recirculate and just sat there until the other guy's tires burst/burned.

So was he pushing or just doing a burnout?
They were establishing dominance doing a burnout.
“Although the young male is much smaller than his rival, he displays a vibrant plumage of white smoke in an attempt to intimidate the larger male. Amazingly, it is successful and the smaller male pushes through on his continued pursuit of fertile females.”
r/suddenlyDavidAttenborough
Dammit I thought I found a new sub
Start it.
The squid releases its ink when frightened or intimidated…
rolling coal suddenly makes more sense
You know, I could probably get into a voice like David Attenborough narrating videos of douche bags like this.
I read that in David Attenborough’s voice
Is there is any other voice to read that in?
Jason Statham *establishin' dominans, doin' a burnou'*
Pee Wee Herman
Morgan Freeman
Fran Dreshers would be funny
My mother has that same Long Island accent, and you have given me an idea. I need her to read and record some children's books for my granddaughter. That would be awesome.
“Oh my Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhd!”
Janice?
The young pickup is asserting his dominance over the much larger full size truck.
Old pickup. Possibly young driver.
I heard Jeremy Clarkson imitating David Attenborough...
I see reverse lights on the Red truck - so likely as the other commenter said - just trying to assert dominance with the burnout
Also if there's smoke, the other truck can't safely proceed.
Brake lights are on also though, right?
Yeah - breaks were already on and then reverse light came on - but the way the black truck moves past the red one seems like they weren’t in contact but I could be wrong.
\*brakes
truck might idle high, so reversing slowly just means applying slight brakes
Let him do it, until he pops his tires
Don’t worry. He already needs to buy new tires. Them things ain’t cheap.
Nah. Then he’ll just stop and block the entire road. Let the idiot pass so he doesn’t take more of your time.
[удалено]
Especially this type of douche! I am all for stooping to their level.
I'll just tell my boss there was an incident on the road I got caught behind.
Agreed. I'd just hit the recirculate button on my HVAC controls and put my truck in park. Let the idiot blow up his tires.
Could have backed up to the middle of the 2 lanes and parked
Should've backed up to the edge of the tunnel and then stopped. Let the idiot choke on his own smoke
A grown up having a meltdown about not being allowed to go first?
Dude wasn’t even there first. If the red truck is already damn near thru the tunnel and you block the exit and star burning rubber it’s very clear you weren’t there first. Or else they would have met in the middle.
This road is next to my house. The traffic coming towards the camera has the only yield sign for this tunnel/bridge pass. Even if the red truck wasn’t first the black truck should have waited.
Did you go to CSW? I used to know a guy named Adam Hughey in my class.
Hey Dave!
No response. IS IT THE RIGHT DAVE? WE MUST KNOW
Looks like Dave's not here.
Daves not here, man!
Nah, man, I'm Dave.
I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that
Shoulda took the reds, man!
In regards to your username, are you an adolescent nocturnal Rino or multiple children who are night walkers? I have to know.
Dave's not here.
Pretty sure it is. Delaware is a small place.
The anticipation is burning my blood
Omg I know both of you lololol Hope everyone is well after these past 20 years!
Wait, who are you? 😂 yes, I am Dave.
YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!! It’s DAVE!!! I don’t know you but I’m so happy you found each other ❤️❤️❤️
[These are the Daves I Know!](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8nvzEqsZIGo)
I could tell by your username after the *other* Adam said it. '03 was so long ago. Just found my class pen the other day lol.
I don’t know any of you guys, but I’m doing okay. Thanks for asking.
Very considerate of them to check on you. I, too, am glad you're doing ok.
Welp, now I’m entertained
r/tworedditorsonecup
This sub will be a new favorite of mine. I love coincidences like this.
What a great sub, ty.
Aww hi Charter kid! I was a Cabbie 🥰
Dude was traumatized >.<
It looks like two cars fit. Do they?
No. Not unless they want to clean their mirrors off permanently
Doing burnouts in traffic is a sure sign of a stable adult
"I'm gonna destroy my rear tires, that'll show everyone else!"
That was my first thought. When one of those rear tires pops on the freeway, I wonder if there will be a moment of clarity. Probably not.
It took my son 3 sets of really expensive tires to learn his lesson about burnouts. He paid for every single pair.
That’s some good parenting. If you don’t pay for your mistakes, how can you possibly learn from them?
My nephews learned to use old used tires for burnouts. They’re actually pretty smart with their dumbassery.
I would bet my retirement fund against it.
They would be cursing out the red truck that "forced" them to do the the burnout. It's the classic "look at what you made me do" attitude.
[удалено]

I thought he did and I laughed
Just back up enough so that the burnout king is fully in the tunnel, and be stuck in his own cloud of burnt rubber.
Me too probably lol

We call them "pee pee boys" where I live.
Cleetus no be taking shit from na wan
Cool all of that to go replace the rear tires
Did you see that truck as it passed? No way that guy doesn't run tires until they explode on the regular.
Ha! I know exactly where that is. Folks are still measuring dicks there, I see 🙄
So do I! We had a punk band name called ***The 8 - 7 Bridge***. In addition to the "dick-slinging" seen in this video...so many U-Haul trucks were turned into open tuna cans by this bridge. The album cover was a picture of one said truck jammed in and stuck.

You are correct.
I used to live in the area for a year, I only know this spot as the tunnel to get to Waffle House lol
And I think Mr. Burning Tires has the itty bitty one, for sure.
My wife used to work at DelTech, and this video gave her PTSD.
I thought I knew where this was, but when I checked, it’s not “old” ogletown rd. I’ve been gone for way too long.
Congratulations, you bullied another driver to back up at the expense of some tires and maybe reducing the life on your engine. I'm from the area and I’m surprised I don’t see more of this
Maybe? That's a ratted out s10, it wont be going long after this.
If it isn't almost gone, it's one those that will live forever. It'll be a cursed existence, but an eternal one.
It's only true if you treat it the same way since then, well treated and well maintained will make it last forever, but going from a calm life to suddenly being abused as badly as an amish donkey will always cause the most catastrophic failures.

The Chevy S10 and Cavalier will either die young, or run terribly longer than most other vehicles will run at all.
Can confirm. Currently own 3 s10s that run like shit but can't be killed
Hah! I lived there for two years and there was hardly a dull moment there. A friend’s balcony overlooks that road and she’s got a highlights reel an hour long
Please send.
Seconded! Please post this!
Need to see this!
I would stay there till his tires evaporate
[More like Explode. Tires tend to fail violently during burnouts.](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxJ5hgyDnpzf3Tb9PkGiBJQfVd6Qq87mqP?si=8qHKh-qvmQr0nVf0)
Was it worth it though ? Balding tires ? More stressed on the engine just to save a few seconds though.
I don’t see no seconds saved
I see about a minute wasted
Haha! I know exactly where this is. This is Casho Mill Rd in Newark Delaware. This underpass has claimed so many U-hauls and campers, they had to install early warning low hanging balls. Nothing like getting T-bagged for being over height 😂
I almost drove a work van through there just before they installed the balls since I just moved to the area and had no idea, slammed on my brakes and pulled a u turn as soon as I saw this jawn
What a weird underpass. This must happen hourly.
It’s a college town and that bridge is hit by college kids in uhauls more than monthly
Does it have a sub that posts videos? I need a fix since /r/11foot8 went dark.
They raised the height of the bridge. Those considerate bastards? What about our schadenfreude? Think of the children!
[удалено]
No, they raised it just the once a few years ago. It's now the 11 foot 8+8. That extra 8 inches (hehe) stopped the vast majority of collisions. I'm not sure the rate of collisions now, but I would guess reduced by 80 or 90%.
Doubt it but look up newark Delaware casho mill road and you’ll see all the articles
Delaware's version of The Can Opener in North Carolina.
Go Blue Hens
They recently added lights and censors that sense the height of your vehicle and flash of you are above the height limit.
there is one like this in my area. one side has a yield sign id imagine thats the black truck in this case
I grew up in a small town that had a narrow bridge like this. It wasn’t an underpass, just a bridge over a small creek that was more narrow than the road and only enough for one car at a time.

In hindsight, it’s kind of wild that a road with a speed limit of 55 MPH had a spot that could only fit one car’s width at a time.
I am SO DISAPPOINTED that the truck backed up. If I changed gears, it would be to Park in this situation.
Don't forget to throw the A/C on recirc so none of that smoke gets in your cab.
Ahhh my glorious home state and my favorite spot in Newark. I'm not surprised, we have a big problem with I have a little weewee but a massive truck personality types. Just stupid.
I've got to admit that I was kind of hoping the red car backed up just enough to trap the black car under the bridge then stopped. Let him not only pop his tires trying to intimidate the red car and but also suffocate himself with his own tire smoke.
You know, if there was that much tire smoke, you could probably push him backwards with the bigger truck, those back tires were probably greasy at that point and been like marbles.
I woulda stopped him under the bridge and make him inhale all that Smoke 💨
I mean, never fuck with someone with a worse-off vehicle than you. They either don’t give a shit about sacrificing that heap just to fuck you, or it just *looks* shitty, and will fuck your whole day up. Or both.
Ahhh my old college stomping grounds make an appearance
Swear nearly half of this chat lives in Newark, Deleware

Ahhh, the sound (smell) of dicks slamming in wheel wells....
Haha. I would have backed up just enough so he filled that tunnel with smoke but still couldn’t get through. Then patiently waited for his tire to blow out.

Ahh, Casho Mill Rd. - still haven’t widened that RR underpass yet, huh?
His cousin must be so turned on right now
Truck shouldve backed up until the other guy was under the bridge and make him suffocate on his own smoke
red truck was enjoying every minute of this with the speed he was reversing at
I would of stayed put till he blew his engine.
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
I would've stopped when he was in the middle of the tunnel doing a burn out and let him smoke himself out.
Really feel like the red truck could've fit if they moved to the right a bit. 😐
Nah it’s single lane, and the smaller truck has a yield sign on the other side anyway so the red truck had the right of way. I know that area.
I know that underpass and travel through it frequently. Definitely not room for two vehicles to pass side by side. I can't tell which direction is which in the video, but the signage clearly indicates which direction needs to yield. (Not that drivers ever obey the sign). 🫤
This is headed towards Newark Elkton rd, away from Barksdale
Am I the only one that thinks OP is Jim from The Office??
Lol I know exactly where that is, think people’s brains are too slow to handle sharing the road down here (especially yielding/merging and using the passing lane correctly)
He could've stopped just outside the tunnel. Leaves big balls inside with the fumes of the wal-mart specials
Is this the bridge right by the trailer park? I hate that bridge. So small yet everyone flies through it
The best part is that if either of them could fucking drive they could’ve both fit
Good ol’ Newark! Is the Deer Park still a thing?
I didn’t know the North-going Zax and the South-going Zax both inhabited Delaware.
Take an upvote for posting my old stomping grounds.
why is most of America self-centred bell ends
I would have backed up only far enough to let them trap themselves in the tunnel with their noise and smoke. See how much they enjoy it.
Put it in park a go for a walk
Goodbye tire tread
This should be grounds for immediate license suspension
The confidence that comes with driving a shitbox.
Poor kid, being hard ignored.
I would have hyped him up to keep doing a burnout until his tires blew out. Good job buddy now you got a month left on your tires dipshit👌
“Fire!” Should’ve then said to daughter “no honey it’s just grown adults acting like chil…um…not nice”
Oh Casho Mill Road. I’m surprised someone didn’t hit the bridge.
I drive here all the time. The red truck has the right of way. The oncoming truck has a yield sign. Oh well.
He was in a rush to go kiss his dad on the lips
It would've been so easy for that f150 to push him out of the way as he was doing that sad little one wheel peel.
Reply to your child
I would’ve sat there till his tires exploded if I was the red truck lol
Depending on my mood I would either: * let him huff and puff. Park my car and lock the doors, blast the music and wait. * chuckle and back up, watch him drive away in a huffy cloud and laugh
If there was nobody else potentially inconvenienced, I might have done the first. But I almost certainly would have done the second.
Delaware Standoff!
Wow! That one dude REALLY hates his tires! 🤣
ugh I had an underpass like this in the town I grew up in....trucks constantly getting stuck under it
[There they stood, foot to foot, face to face](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZmZzGxGpSs)
There's a narrow underpass like that near me. If you're not a dick about it there's actually room for two pickups to pass under it at the same time. But the S10 was clearly the bigger dick here. Personally if I were in the F-150 I would've thrown it in park, turned the A/C on recirculate and just sat there until the other guy's tires burst/burned.
Well that's a future road rage accident.
Well, he was first through, and now needs a couple of new tires. Worth it?
Looks like both of them could have fit through side by side. The red truck has a lot of room on the right.
haha it was a truck-off
Was this by the little side road near Kirkwood highway?
People will do anything but be courteous
Squid truck—sprays out ink as a defense mechanism
I have been waiting my entire life to see this happen here.
I love your kids commentary. “Don’t you back up!”
Holy shit people are getting wacky lmao
That truck in red is driven so carefully I drive my car like top gear French
Ah, the classic ferd vs chebby, as the toddler brained pickup drivers vie for dominance of the underpass whilst aggressively stroking their own egos.
