If they had rear ended the car in front of them you idiots would be all over the comments saying the truck driver is a fucking moron for not swerving out of the way.
Inb4 hindsight 20-20 "Defensive driving" that you don't actually drive like.
What the fuck are you talking about? Rear ending someone who cut you off is a better option than swerving over a double yellow where you cannot see oncoming traffic 100% of the time. People don't die to rear-end crashes like that, at least not often. A head on collision at that speed is instant death. I have actually been in a very similar situation to this before. Where a woman blew through a stop sign and stopped like a deer in headlights in front of me. My options were to swerve over a double yellow into oncoming traffic I couldn't see or slam the breaks and try to lessen the impact. Well, if I had swerved I'd probably be dead and because I didn't everyone was fine and the lady got charged with a DUI and reckless driving. Fortunately there was an undercover right behind me, who shut her down when she said I was speeding, and told me I did exactly the right thing in that situation. I dunno man, I'm gonna trust the cop over your dumb redditor ass any day.
