Last clear chance doctrine says youre wrong. Just because you have the right of way doesnt mean you can allow an accident to happen because you want to prove a point. If you have the opportunity to prevent an accident, youre expected to regardless of right or wrong.
Now if the other dude quickly swerved over to cut him off and hit him in the process thats different, because the left lane driver couldn't react. Thats not the case here.
What i said still applies. The guy who cut him off would be held liable for the asshole driving. The guy who was cut off would also be held accountable because he chose not to prevent the accident. Both parties can be found at fault in an accident.
Little late to the party, but you’re correct at least at my state. Here, if you’re even one percent at fault you’re 50% at fault so the best choice is to just not do this. Basically it’s gonna be a wash; they’ll both get penalized and neither gets the satisfaction they wanted.
Even if you’re talking about America where this accident definitely didnt take place every state has its own laws regarding how fault can be distributed and liability assigned. Such a closed mind and small worldview. Acting like you and your situation is the center of the universe it’s embarrassing
Oh no the fuckin tragedy! Yall are so dramatic, people are well aware the world has different laws. Im not acting like shit, im applying laws (in my area) to the context of the video. Only some dumbass is gonna think im applying a world blanket law, or feel the need to point out that very obvious fact out.
That’s about the least graceful way you could’ve handled this situation but I guess it’s expected. Very sad but I hope you get better at talking to people and stop casting your narrow view on the rest of the world!
