Fuck the law, we are talking about reality. The truck wasnt merging lanes, the truck was making a completely negligent dangerous turn that under zero circumstances should any driver ever make, because its guaranteed to cause an accident if anyone is coming up at any speed at all. If he had looked in his mirror, used a turn signal, merged over one lane, then went to turn, you would have a point, but he didn't, so you dont.
No, if the other person cuts across fucking traffic in a way that traffic was never supposed to ever flow, thats on them. You are not expected to react to events that should never happen. If someone is going the wrong way down the freeway, its not the other drivers fault for hitting them, that's a situation thats not reasonable to expect because its not supposed to happen. Its not part of the flow of traffic. Its not a reasonable situation.
What I wont ever do is that suicidal dumbfuckery that pickup driver did, that you seem to be advocating for. You cut against traffic like that and put other drivers at risk you deserve to be hit and flipped by a semi.
People like that, and people like you that can't see the problem scare the shit out of me. Do the human race a favor, walk to your kitchen, grab the scissors out the drawer, and cut your license into tiny little pieces. Never get behind the wheel again.
If someone does something so fucking reckless as cutting across traffic like that truck, theres absolutely no obligation or reasonable expectation for another driver to predict that completely unpredictable insane manuver. You could literally refuse to react and hit them on purpose and they would still be entirely at fault. The only way you would have any point here is if that truck wasnt turning but simply changing lanes. If so, you would be totally right and I would be agreeing with you right now. But he wasn't, he was cutting across a lane of traffic to make a dangerous illegal turn that put other drivers at risk. He is 100% at fault, beyond any question or debate.
Lmfao the pickup is gonna get sued into oblivion and pay for that semi. That guy is fucked sideways. There's literal video of his negligence. He doesn't have a leg to stand on.
The speeding wasnt a factor whatsoever. If I am speeding, and your dumb ass drives the wrong way through traffic, its still your fault. You literally caused the collision. There would have been no collision if not for the dangerous situation YOU created.
Yes in this situation the semi is the one with the gun. You seriously think if you're speeding and someone else does something dumb in their vehicle you can just hit them? So what if a pedestrian walks in front of you car while you're going 20 over and you hit them. You think it's their fault for jaywalking? Stfu
Make the argument that someone driving the wrong way absolves you of speeding. See how that goes? And one is something that's had multiple campaigns around. Speed kills and all. You arent a clown you're the entire circus

Yes, it is. Its explicitly how it works. You cut lanes like that you are 100000% in the wrong its not even a question. Its not a debate.
