I've been behind a 'train' of these in Grand Rapids. Even though they travel at 50-60mph, cars behind still try to pass.

It looks to me that the Jeep could have taken that spot but pulled way up on purpose.

Breaking the side windows of any car with a fist is just a great way to break your hand. The Cyber truck has really tough glass from what I hear.

It takes a sharp object to break the side windows.

The Jeep driver is a wanker and deserved it (if this isn't staged just to get the video).

Yep. If you're hitting the side glass of a car hard enough to break it (and you aren't wearing a diamond ring), there's a very good chance that you'll break one of the bones in your hand. I know a guy that had some kids pass him and brake check him when he had a newborn baby in the car. It set him off, and he was able to get out when they were stopped. He hit their car window a couple of times. He said that he realized later that something was wrong, because he had a bleeding cut on the back of his hand. It turned out that he'd broken one of the little bones and it had pierced the skin (but wasn't sticking out), so compound fracture. I'm not sure that I buy his story that he didn't realize that he broke his hand until the next day. I'm sure that under the right circumstances, a person can put a fist through a side window, but I think that's probably pretty rare.

I've seen people hit car windows with various instruments that you would think would do the trick that just bounced off. You need something that's hard and going to provide a lot of force concentrated on a small spot (or something big with a lot of force).

Not exactly a YT short, but it's short.

A long time ago…. A guy tried to run me over in a parking lot. I jumped up on the hood of his car and put my Justin python boot through his windshield. I almost hit him in the face! Ahhh, the good old days!

I don't understand these idiots that stand on their rev limiter.
And I don't feel sorry for them when stuff happens.
