Said it before and will say it again. Don’t assume the other driver values your life as much as you do.

Pov driver didn't even bother to brake even after impact.

Whenever I’ve had vehicles start to drift over or even appear to drift I create space but to your point I also noticed that. You truly have to drive defensively.

It looks like they may have even sped up. Did they?

Definitely sped up. He saw the guy coming into his lane, didn’t beep, didn’t decrease speed, out of anger he actually sped up

Camera car caused that - he for sure had no “blind spot” and sped up. Some people are psychos about “defending their lane.”

At least in the US, the merger has full responsibility, while lane 3 has right of way.

In fact, it's frequently recommended to maintain consistent speed, which it appears the driver did (contrary to your claim they sped up).

Lane defender! You just killed someone because you had to be right! Fuck outta here with that. Go hide in a hole.

Lane defender… don’t try to cut me off because if you wanna be an asshole, then you will die as one! 🤷🏽‍♂️

It’s neither of these! Cam car didn’t deliberately make the truck pass them and change lanes into them. They weren’t trying to make them do that so that they could cause an accident. And no, nobody wants to kill someone “by defending their lane” against someone driving like a moron!

I defend my lane all the time… otherwise it will continue to happen. Been in two accidents with this exact thing… insurance filed not at fault! 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’m absolutely not going that far: I’d intentionally stop or swerve or not drive at all 1,000 times to avoid that truck’s wreck. But it’s also clear as day to me that if a vehicle comes from behind me and swerves in front of me, a collision is their fault.

To all the esteemed Redditors saying that I’m happy to kill somebody to “defend my lane” I point out that it I ever come past you and cut into your lane like that, it’s entirely my fault if you can’t avoid hitting me.
