VIDEO: van pays price for dramatic brake check to semi truck

A dramatic brake check was captured on dash cam video in Virginia recently after a van seriously cut off a semi truck and paid the price.

The video was captured near Bedford, Virginia and was described by the trucker like this:

“I am a truck driver of 38 years. I am the truck driver in the original Cabin Fever movie as well as being in several other movies and commercials. I was traveling south bound in the right lane exiting off at exit 126. The van came up the ramp emergency lane and brake checked me and then the coward ran down the ramp and disappeared.”

The clip has left many viewers with dissenting opinions regarding whether not it was an instance of road rage and who was at fault.
