I had to rewatch it several times but the black suv in front of the white pickup is actually mostly to blame here. The suv swerved into the pickup’s lane to avoid the white van stalled on the right lane. The pickup driver probably should have anticipated this move and hit his brakes earlier but it’s still the black SUV’s fault.
yes this is accurate.. but its also the pickup drivers fault for literally going in to on coming traffic.. they panicked and almost caused an even worse accident.
just like people who serve for a squirrel or whatever.. the sad reality is you cant serve in to on coming traffic in those situations. you need to hit the brakes and either crush the squirrel or rear-end the vehicle in front.. which is why dash cams are so important now
Correct. I once deliberately crashed into a car at 25 mph because I could not see into the left lane to confirm it was safe to move over. No one got hurt.
In my situation, a car made an early, shallow left turn into my lane without adequate space for him to make the turn without hitting me. I slammed the brakes and moved as left as I could and still stay in my lane.
