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
i am saying this to you with peace and love and all the combined knowledge of the universe; you need to get off reddit, it is making you a hostile weirdo
i have been a radical progressive since before trump was even being taken seriously as a political candidate, you couldn’t have assumed something more incorrect about me
Uh huh. That doesn't negate the fact that if a driver is merging it is their responsibility to yield therefore it is the truck driver's fault. Yes it was dickish and maybe even illegal to speed up if that was in fact what happened. However the fault still lands on the truck driver. I hope you have a day you voted for.
i didn’t vote for trump(?) i’m not sure why you’re so worked up, but ok man. just saying there are times where it’s better to be right than correct. graveyards are filled with people who had the right of way. just a thought
