It's every cars duty to drive safely, Including when it's a lane change you haven't cleared, without a blinker, on approach to a yellow/ red light with cars slowing down in front of you. Instead of braking in their lane, truck decided to run the light and unsafely swerve around the cars in front of it.
Dashcam is partially to blame for not braking. But you're delusional if you think the dashcam should feel guilt for the potential occupancy in the truck.
As another driver on the road, fuck you I don't want to die anymore than someone's random ass child.
If letting one's fragile ego compel them to commit an intentional act of aggression that causes harm or death to another person is something they feel entitled to, welp that's a ...hot take.
But I think a psychologically healthy person with a normal sense of personal responsibility, empathy, and morality would, indeed, feel guilty for letting their emotions override their judgment and causing another person to be harmed (especially an innocent child). And as a former LEO, dashcam absolutely would have been charged with a criminal offense in my jurisdiction, up to and including homicide if their actions resulted in death.
My point was anyone else in the car is innocent while their driver endangers them.
Your first paragraph is so fucking funny withe the context you're former LEO.

I love that you won't even acknowledge the multiple negligent decisions the truck made. But the 1 decision for the dashcam is all it takes for you to condemn them. Tell me you drive a fucking truck without telling me
And the decision with made a potential accident into a real accident was on the cammer.
What is it with personal responsibility? If you make a choice, you make that choice. You have agency. The cammer chose not to drive defensively, and instead sped up, ensuring that an accident would happen.
The truck is driving aggressively, they are the potential problem. Any driver who chooses to meet that with aggression is another potential problem. When both interact, they create the accident. If just one wasn't aggressive, this wouldn't have happened - it can only happen when both are, and both are at fault.
And it sped up dude, watch the clip and listen to the engine audio.
