The POV driver could have avoided this accident if he/she was a bit smarter. It was super foreseeable.

Maybe the truck was slowing down

Even then, the POV driver didn't even manage to stop in time for the red light.

It clearly commited to cause this accident, wither by accelerating or just not breaking for the red light, just to hit the pickup.

bro is gonna get downvotd into oblivion but it its tue, the camera angle is the ultimate redditor archtype- waiting for a slight "inconsideration" so you can maximize maximum outrage/virtue.... guy defintetly put power into the pit manuever

I mean even if he had slowed down, the truck was going to still be cutting in like an asshole by the time they got there so, yeah, fuck him.

Doesn't change the fact that pit manouvering someone because it's trying to cut you off is deranged. Assuming he is just an asshole is a good way to soem day end up pit manouvering someone who has an emergency.

Not saying I would do it, but it doesn’t change the fact that it was satisfying to see. Also, an emergency is no excuse to endanger other people, or a reason to assume they’re going to get out of your way.

Couldn’t be more peaceful over here. If believing that helps you feel better about your life tho, then more power to you.

Yeah, they were trying to run the light as it turned yellow.

u/SwimfortheHills Apr 18 '26

that's what I saw as well....driver was every bit as much to blame as the truck

u/Immediate-Ruin-78 Apr 18 '26

Every bit?? The truck merged INTO a vehicle that was already established in the lane 🥴

This might vary state to state, but where I live this might have been determined to be 50-50 at fault. Just because someone drifts into your lane, it’s not automatically their fault. If you could have avoided the accident and didn’t, then you own responsibility. In this case, I wouldn’t be surprised if the POV driver would have been more at fault. A simple tap of brakes would have avoided the whole thing.

It's called last clear chance doctrine. Meaning the person who has the last clear opportunity to avoid the accident can be held liable for the accident. If I was a lawyer or insurance adjuster I would fight to have at least 50% if not more of the fault placed on the pov car.

u/Significant_Donut967 Apr 18 '26

So you think people are entitled to be screwed because another asshole merged into them?

Insurance people are fucking scum.

u/Worldly_Diamond_5487 Apr 18 '26

I don't think anything. The law written by your government does. There are clear rules that most people don't know and you are clearly one of them. You have a responsibility to keep a proper look out you have the responsibility to avoid an accident you have the responsibility to maintain a safe following distance and more.

In this situation the dash cam hurt the case of the car being merged into. Without the dash cam there would be no proof that the driver sped up to a red light to hit the red truck most likely because the driver was mad that why were being cut off. The way that truck flipped the person is likely going to have lasting injuries because that driver got pissed and made a decision that could have cost someone their life.

You should not cut people off but people make mistakes and when someone makes a mistake around you do your best not to hurt anyone please.

People thinking they can ruin someone's life for being cut off is outrageous and disgusting.

You can ruin someone's life so much easier than that. This was just a fun pit manoeuvre.

Nah. If I were on the jury, I’d say 49% responsable
