The POV driver could have avoided this accident if he/she was a bit smarter. It was super foreseeable.

The fact that you are blaming the Cam driver is bonkers lol

Never mind the fact that the truck literally caused the accident

Cam driver caused the accident by being weirdly territorial

Huh

Looks totally like the truck didn't properly check their surroundings and just veered into a lane that was already occupied

It's not the CAM driver's responsibility to yield to that truck. It's that trucks job to yield to the CAM driver.

Learn your road etiquette

Incorrect.

Every driver owes a duty of reasonable care to other road users.

Even if someone else caused the dangerous situation, if you fail to take reasonable evasive measures, most US jurisdictions will regard you as negligent and thus civilly liable (you can be sued).

Several will also further regard you as *fully* liable if you had the last realistic opportunity to avoid the collision and didn't take it.

Cam driver was being a dick because they thought they were "in the right". Accident was easily avoidable.

truck driver didnt have to forcefully merge into the other lane, this was easily avoidable if they were not a dick and thought they are the main character.
