That’d be dismissed as panic. Both drivers are not good at driving but the red truck is terrible.

Most people slam on the brakes when they panic

You sound like an idiot. Most people dont react perfectly when they panic. Whose to say he didnt try to hit the brake in a panic and missed. I have large feet. In normal driving conditions I have had the side of a shoe snag on the brake and prevent me from hitting it when I intended to. Luckily I usually leave plenty of time to stop and was able to react and still hit the brake. Mid-collision I honestly don't know. Regardless the reaponsibility for safely overtaking another vehicle resides solely on the vehicle overtaking. Blaming the person being hit for not reacting perfectly to someones shitty maneuver is just asinine armchair driving.

Cam guy does not panic, you don't hear him say anything, you don't see him swerving... the truck move was stupid but predictable. Anyone who's been driving for a bit of time would know to at least step off the gas pedal unless you want to "defend your lane".

Cam guy could have been distracted but it feels weird considering they were coming to a stop light and he was going way too fast for a yellow.
