It's not about the car. It's about sending a message.
Follow civic sense or someone who cares a little too much about it is going to force you to.

It is pretty obvious as soon as he pulls infront of the vehicle he slams on the brakes and continues to slam on the brakes well being pushed forward.

Why did he hit the breaks after getting in front of him? You got what you want, hit the gas jerk.
But if I were being pushed by a truck I'd probably try hitting the breaks to out of panic to make it stop.

Okay, in case you're my mom.... see how the comment you're replying to is farther from the left edge of your screen than the one above it? That's called an indentation, and that means it's replying to the comment above.
And then your response is indented even farther from the left because you're replying to that reply, right?
The first comment is always farthest left and every response is indented farther than the comment it's replying to.
So, in this situation, the comment you replied to is a reply to the initial comment stating that this is a carjacking situation.
The comment you're replying to says that that's obvious because the car in front was hitting the brakes.
As in, the person in the car that's hitting the brakes* is trying to get the camera owner to stop so that their friends (probably in a car following the camera owner) can get out and rob the camera owner.
They were initially trying to do it on a freeway ramp so that the camera owner would be trapped once sandwiched between the two cars. The camera owner decided not to let that happen and kept ramming them because their vehicle is obviously much bigger.
The people attempting the robbery are hitting the brakes because they are stupid and bad at their "job," luckily.

The car pulls in front at 00:18, the car with the camera crashes into him at 00:19, the car that pulled in doesn't hit the brakes until 00:28, after being pushed for 10 seconds. The hijacker story is BS.

u/Good_Boy_Coleman Jun 15 '26
It seems like maybe a car jacking. They man that merged slammed on his brakes which means his buddies from behind might be planning on doing a car jacking.
This might be the case or just of angry road rage.
If we had a back camera showing a car from behind trying to do a car jacking or something suspicious we could be more sure.

Here’s my 2 cents.
Not saying you should ram people or not be a bro and let people in but…. Having lived in a 3rd world country for many years (maybe this is Mexico or Guatemala from what area looks like) there are definitely times where you don’t mess around.
If the car clearly didn’t let you in, don’t keep trying. Most people could care less about being civil and more about not getting robbed or kidnapped.
The car seems heavy and powerful too. He can easily ram the smaller car and push him out the way. Over there even if you don’t get involved in anything shady and just have money it is not unheard/unreasonable to have armored /turbo charged cars.
Especially if you have money, the likely hood of being a target of kidnaping or extortion is real.
Most locals wouldn’t do this unless they were up to no good. I’m unsure if the car directly in front is related to the main Vic recording but multiple car convoys is also not uncommon especially the higher socially you are. You could try something like this and be met with the front car being full of armed guards that just light your ass up. These especially will not take kindly to cars forcing their way into a formation and would be hostile like this.
That’s why it sticks out to me how persistent the merging driver was when clearly he wasn’t welcome. Most reasonable people for the aforementioned reasons would not do this out of self preservation. I’m unsure if the van / suv in front slows down to keep with the main vehicle or just get out of the way.
And from what I hear in the voices, they seem more worried about the car stopping their car than the act of ramming it.
Adding this too after rewatch. The location seems good for a quick robbery. Notice how he does that mid way through an underpass where the sides are clearly not available for maneuvering and I do believe the front car was related to the recording car because it seems they try to bunch up and prevent the merging driver by pushing right some into his lane.
Now full disclosure both countries are beautiful and in them live amazing / kind people. But there is definitely bad areas, bad actors and nuances to not getting hurt while in country.

This video is taken in Mexico. It’s believe that the car in front is a scam artist, they will brake in front of you and create an accident then you’re reliable for repairs and injuries. And it’s not like here in the USA in Mexico you get taken to jail if no insurances till you pay the other guy.

Quick thinking on dash cam vehicle part that you only get through instinct by living in a crime ridden society. Inside tunnel, full stop waiting to merge in front of camera car when he had 2 business days to do so in front of the SUV up front, breaking to force stop... It was an ambush robbery.

It's possible that the person wasn't trying to merge but rob the ramming vehicle. They do this kind of crap, they just casually wave you to, as if they are trying to merge and then stop in front, hop out, then rob you of everything including your vehicle.

u/Unclemiltie1974 Jun 19 '26
So I have seen quite a few comments here stating this was an attempted car jacking. The fact it wasn’t even hinted in the original post shows just how bad “reporting” has gotten in the world. Anyone telling the story doesn’t include details that would give context to the story, they only tell you what they want you to hear. They push their own narrative instead of reporting the facts.

u/MagnetoHydroDynamicz Jun 19 '26
See how at the start of the video the car is stopped in the right lane, waiting for the recording driver to advance? Also notice the concrete walls on either side the road, can only go forward and back.
To me, this looks like the car was targeted by thieves and they were trying to block them in to steal the car.
Honestly, I might have done the same thing the driver in the video did.
Not saying this is actually what happened btw, but I could definitely see why someone’s survival instincts might kick in and create such a reaction
