A road rage incident took a surprising turn when a truck driver used quick thinking to avoid confrontation on October 31, 2024.

The scene: A Subaru abruptly stopped for a traffic cone on a narrow highway. The truck behind it swerved onto the shoulder to avoid a collision.

The Subaru driver saw the truck's swerve as an aggressive move and sped ahead, signaling the trucker to pull over.

Quick thinking: At first, the trucker ignored the driver, then pretended to agree to pull off at an exit. Just as the Subaru driver took the exit, the trucker stayed on the highway.

By avoiding confrontation, the truck driver managed to deescalate the situation without incident.
