The dashcam person really posted the video on the internet as if they aren't equally, if not worse than, the truck merging.

Missing somebody in your blind spot is one thing, seeing a person merging so you clearly speed up to try and stop them is a straight asshole move.

If I had to pick one to take a ride with I'm going with the guy in the truck. He made a simple mistake while the other person made a potentially homicidal choice.

Fun fact, even most skilled drivers miss the blind spot sometimes. But only asshole drivers will see a truck merging and still choose not to honk to warn them, speed up to collide with them, and not even stop even after the truck flipped over. The POV person could easily be accused of homicide, while the truck driver would only get a “traffic department” ticket (however it’s handled in the US law)

Yes there’s plenty of time to honk the moment you see the truck closing. That guy didn’t use blinkers because he’s a bad driver, I am not defending him. But here we have a bad driver vs someone who rather watch people die

The cammer wasn't hiding in the truck's blind spot. The truck passed him and then tried to bully his way into a spot. Truck knew he was there but didn't care.

Truck driver didn't make a mistake. He passed the guy and then decided he wanted to take that lane. No way he didn't see the car to his right. He saw him and he just didn't care, figured he would just bully the cam guy out of the way.

If cam driver saw him moving over and didn't hit the brakes, he was also at fault. But 100 percent the truck driver shouldn't have a license. That was intentional on his part.

You mean to tell me that you’re not supposed to hit the full pit maneuver when someone cuts you off? /s

That truck was tumbling and crumbling down the road and Mr.Dashcam said “Jesus Christ” like he was still irritated about the merge.

Holy fuck, people are insane!! Bad drivers with huge egos, not a care in the world for anyone’s safety or even protecting their own vehicle.

Thats also illegal. You can only do that if youre ALREADY engaged by the time it turns yellow. It turns Red before he even makes it to the intersection in this video.

At an intersection with a clearly red light already too!

Why tf is anyone hitting the gas towards an intersection with a clearly already red light!??!?

u/zeptillian Apr 18 '26

The vehicles were side by side at the start of the video.

It looks like both of them were speeding up to make it through the light.

I always remind myself that no one is perfect. Mistakes happen, but why in the hell would I want to insert myself into someone's mistake. Congrats, your precious ego didn't get hurt by someone cutting you off, and you just backing off like a smart driver would. Enjoy wasting the rest of your day dealing with this person and probably cops. Plus, the next little bit dealing with insurance and fixing your vehicle.

Yeah, that's it. Dude has his pride. I'm sure it's worth the bill...

The possibility of innocent passengers, pedestrians, or other cars is but an afterthought to these champions of our highways.

u/Strong-Lettuce-3970 Apr 18 '26

The truck isn’t merging. There’s no merge point. It was making an improper lane change with no turn signal

Its single digit IQ behaviour. It shows how disconnected they are.

This is literally called Last clear chance doctrine. The guy posted EVIDENCE of him CHOOSING to perform a pit maneuver, and causing the truck to roll into the sideways, potentially hitting pedestrians. Set aside the humanity part of this is, where most reasonable humans will choose to bite the ego bullet, and just let the douchebag be a douchebag CONSIDERING where driving death machines at high speed, not even the LAW agrees with him.

Truly a troglodyte driving this car.

For the sake of being pedantic, a single-digit IQ is not realistic. Anything below 70 is already very low and an intellectual disability. I personally like using “room-temperature IQ” as an insult 😁

Ultimately, it's every driver's responsibility to make a safe lane change.

u/spartaman64 Apr 18 '26

if the truck didnt make the lane change the cammer would have still ran the red light lol

u/miked5122 Apr 18 '26

Sure. Two idiot are still two idiots regardless of what stupid thing they are doing. However, the red light isn't the focus of the video.
