Probably because he knew this would happen. I am forced to question every video I see on the internet as nothing more than someone trying to get views. Unfortunately
And more people should do that. People have slated me on road rage videos where it seems someone just randomly cut them off, brake checked them and then overtook them in order to try and throw their coffee at them. According to the video, nothing happened prior to that. The passenger just decided to start filming with their phone only for all the events to occur right away. So when I said I wondered what happened prior to the video, people got a bit angry, cause that wasn't in the video and we should just make an assessment purely on what we saw without ever thinking about any of it.
Because that's what we all do. We all randomly start filming a randomass road in a randomass city and immediately some randomass car starts trying to hit us off the road. Just like we all randomass decide to cut others off, brake check them and throw our beverage at them.
Edit: I was very calm when I was typing this, if it wasn't for this unyielding rage pent up inside me. Great assumption, though. š
More people doing that is not really a better outcome it's just different.
Instead of blindly believing everything, they will just blindly disbelieve everything. Both are pretty equally harmful and annoying.
In your road rage thing, yeah it's fair to consider what happened before, as it is not shown in the video, it could be that OP did something bad that could lead to road rage or could be that road rager is overreacting to basically nothing, which is also a thing that happens. According to the tiktok by the guy (translated, so I could be quite wrong) they started filming because the road rager started road raging after a few lane changes.
In gambling it's called hedging your bets. You could be recording so that if something horrible did happen, you have it recorded & it's not a complete loss. I'm not saying all cases are genuine, far from it but it's not out the realms of possibility they realised it was a risky situation.
