Driving through heavy traffic can be a stressful experience, especially when your fellow drivers aren’t courteous. A hilarious viral video shows what happened when a red Corvette refused to allow a Dodge to change lanes, and offered up the finger instead! The driver of the truck reciprocated the rude gesture in a hilarious way, and it was caught on camera.

The bystander who captured the scene in a 20-second clip on the interstate near Seattle, Washington, first noticed the driver of the red Corvette not allowing the Dodge to enter his lane. “So the Dodge pulled beside him,” the person began, Viral Hog reported.

“The Corvette driving was rolling down his window and went to flip him off,” they continued—adding insult to injury, as though not allowing him to change lanes wasn’t bad enough.

But the truck had a surprise in store for his offender. As it turned out, that wasn’t the type of driver who took lightly to road rudeness. So he made full use of his large diesel engine to teach the red car owner a lesson. And what a lesson it turned out to be!

As as the car’s window was opened and the “bird” in plain view, the clip shows the Dodge revving up and delivering a hefty plume of black smoke from the tail pipe, dispensing a direct hit into the open window of the Corvette, much to the laughter and delight of the person holding the camera, who can be heard exclaiming, “No way!” and laughing wholeheartedly.

When the video was originally posted on Facebook in June 2018, it became a viral hit, garnering over half a million views and thousands of shares, the Daily Mail reports. And when Viral Hog reposted it on their official Facebook page, over 1,000 viewers took to the comments section to discuss their opinion of the Dodge driver’s road rage response. While some were in agreement that it was justified, others expressed concern over the level of pollution caused by the exhaust.

One comment read, “One of my former Mercedes was a diesel, and I enjoyed doing that too annoying people.”

While another noted, “That’s awesome, and the vettes [sic] window was down.”

And a particularly insightful comment said, “Both drivers know the merge, Corvette won’t make room, gets exhaust facial. Karma at work. As a larger vehicle driver, most will not let me in. Do I wait for a kind person or become another one of you in the pack by forcing it? Truck weighs 7000#. Your Corvette is half that. Guess which one will be the pinball and the other the paddle? Laws of physics kids. They’re real.”
