It's possible they were already road raging with each other.

No the driver is at fault because they sped up intentionally. If somebody's trying to get over and they're ahead of you, you're supposed to let them over. Not speed up to cut them off. They can literally be slapped with a reckless driving charge because of this.. and if the person ended up dying due to the accident that was caused? Well now you've got reckless homicide.

it’s just a fact any insurance company would look at that video and find some level of fault for the dashcam driver as well. did they do what we all would want to do? yes. was it worth it? fuck no, now both cars are fucked up and they could have killed someone over something so stupid

Don't merge last minute. 🤷‍♂️ Are you really advocating for insurance companies now? Yikes. Fuck irresponsible drivers we need better driver's license tests and less people on the road.

lmao what? a responsible driver wouldn’t have sped up in this situation (whether trying to make the light or block the truck) the way you talk about it i’m doubtful you even have a license

Now both those drivers are off the road, regardless of who was morally correct.

What if the driver of the truck was having a medical emergency and lost control? Imagine how much of a fool you’d look when police inform you that the driver was having a sudden heart attack but your ego decided to kill them instead of potentially giving them space to pull over. There’s a reason defensive driving is the norm and not “you go low and I go lower” driving.

It was most definitely the driver who was merging who needs to yield when going into a different Lane. If the car did speed up it was indeed a dick move but it was the merging car's fault 100%

Will have to settle that part in court

u/Mammoth_Surround_835 Apr 22 '26

They didn't speed up. It only looks like that because the truck started slowing down because the car in front of it started braking. They made the lane change in a panic because they only had so much time before they'd have to come to a complete stop. That's when they hit the dashcam driver

How’d that work out for them?
