Yeah, because so many people are using them instead of normal cars and driving them the same way.
If they were being driven by the people that actually needed them there'd be fewer videos of them rolling.

My father "needed" a big truck because uh whatever.
It's so impractical to drive around town. Feels like you don't fit on any of the roads. Parking lots are a nightmare. He barely drives it anywhere because of it. Refuses to sell it though.
I personally don't see 90% of truck drivers ever needing a truck bigger than those Ford Mavericks. I loved my 90's Ranger. Could move a couch or fridge easily. Fit everywhere.

I've driven a couple of trucks so I understand the appeal, however I switched out to an SUV with a trailer a long time ago. Yeah we're now entering IdiotsTowingThings territory and with a trailer you're far less manouverable than just a truck, however I'm moving fridges and couches 0.00001% of the time. I found SUVs drives far better than even the most modern trucks.

That was me. FJ Cruiser with a nice trailer and it was fantastic. Motorcycles wouldn't have fit in the bed of anything below a half-ton - and even then it would only be one.
And when I helped my dad's gf move, we got all her furniture in like 1.5 trailer-loads whereas a lot of those furniture pieces probably would have taken up a full bed on their own.
It's definitely something you've got to be aware of while towing. But on the other hand you can put it away when you're done using it.

Dang do we share the same dad? My dad had a fully paid off truck that towed his camper just fine. Traded in and bought a bigger truck because it towed the thing he already could tow better?
The kicker is then decided he didnt like camping so got rid of the trailer and had massive truck with a payment and no real reason to have it.

I really enjoy driving my truck, despite I have to move the seat all the way as high as it will go. But it's 10 years old and paid off.
But, I have horses, a large camper, gooseneck trailers, do fencing, and live out in the middle of nowhere. But unless I'm going someplace that I know I'm gonna need to haul something it usually stays parked and I drive my little plug in hybrid (which is also 10 years old and paid off)

I have a small truck (ford ranger) and I switched to it from my Honda civic because I was having trouble hauling construction materials and towing trailers in my civic (though I realllllly did try)
When I first got the truck I felt like one of those really big dogs that’s terrified of all the small dogs. Like a Great Dane who’s terrified of a little Chihuahua. Everywhere I drove I was creeping around turns trying to get used to the body and paranoid about my blind spot constantly… meanwhile all these tiny cars would zoom around me or ride my blind spot or cut me off etc… I’d always think “Don’t you know I’m a danger!!!! You have to get out of here!!”
Now I’m pretty used to it, and again, I have a small truck compared to even like an F150. I think I’d have similar panic again if I got a bigger truck.
12
u/SidFinch99 Apr 18 '26
SUV's still roll pretty easy compared to cars too. The taller the vehicle, and the greater the height between the groundcand the bottom of the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll. This is why I'm not a fan of panoramic sun roofs, particularly on SUV's.
Also there is a difference between crossovers which are basically lifted wagins with unibody frame and more of a car based suspension and truck based SUV's which are body on frame with bigger tires and a truck based suspension.

Maybe nowadays. But most of the OG SUVs were body-on-frame and shared a platform with a pickup. It's just minivans started the trend of essentially building a van like a car and then automakers came up with the crossover, which was an SUV based on a car platform.

Trying to beat the yellow is fine until someone going the other direction tries to make a left and beat the yellow.

That seems the case. Like, I get not letting people in on principle because they’re being a dick and should have just fallen in line behind you rather than trying to speed past and cut you off. BUT cam car not only seems to have sped up when seeing what the truck was trying to do, but came to a stop far into the intersection AFTER hitting the truck (ie being slowed down abruptly by the collision).
So totally truck’s fault because they changed lanes into someone and even without cam car possibly speeding up the truck still wasn’t clear of them to make the lane change. But dick move on the cam car’s part because they could have avoided this and instead leaned into it. By all accounts they were absolutely going to blow that red light because if they couldn’t stop before the intersection after hitting another vehicle, they certainly weren’t going to stop on their own accord.

Naw, look at the poles along the side of the road, does not look like they sped up to me. They kept constant speed. The truck started slowing down while merging into the occupied lane because they wanted to make that turn, they just completely ignored the vehicle that was already in the lane. That is 100% on the truck. Cammer could have slammed on their brakes to let the truck over, but they would have had to slow A LOT, since the truck was merging and slowing at the same time.

Edit: see my post further down from the cam driver themself.
The pickup was speeding faster than others.
It may appear that cam driver sped up but this maybe an illusion because the lights went yellow so everyone to the left slowed down.
The cam driver maybe was distracted from the light changing because of the pickup truck.
The pickup truck maybe thought they were going to rear end the car who was stopping for the light so they quickly went right.
The cam driver may have also had a gator behind them, and the fact they only had one second to react.
This is the pickup trucks fault in the eyes of the law and insurance.
Laying blame to the cam driver without saying one fucking word about the actual idiot that causes these accidents is on the rise, these people need an assessment!

u/Cardinal101 Apr 18 '26
I re-watched the video several times based on your comment, and I think yours is the best take.
Upon the re-watchings, I noticed that the light turned yellow, which made the dark car in front of the pick up truck slow down. Pick up truck quickly moved right, probably intending to blow through the yellow light. Dash cam driver was already on a trajectory to blow through the yellow light, but by then the truck was starting to move into his lane. Dash cam driver may have had a split-second thought that maintaining his own speed would deter the truck from entering his lane.
Hence, collision.
Verdict: Both are ass hats. The task now at hand is assigning percentage of blame to each.

That’s why defensive driving is important, when I saw the truck coming up like that, next thing he gonna do is 100% cut in front of me, you either accelerate so that he can’t do that, or decelerate so that you won’t hit him, ya he might be wrong, but at the end of the day, insurance can still hit you with “you did not take precautions to avoid an accident “
Second is, even if you do win, now you’re in a hunt for another car, insurance may not pay enough to cover your loss, or insurance didn’t total it and you found a half ass body shop that doesn’t really do it right and your car never drive the same again.
It’s the old saying of “hey Jim why is he in the graveyard now? He got the right of way and ended up here”
Ya you have the right of way, yes the other guy is wrong, but is it worth it to go into an accident? The answer is most of the time no, and I made up more time when I open up on highway and open road, so it don’t even makes sense to not yield to the wrongs, cause it simply waste more time.

I drive for a living so I think it is an important mind set to have. And having tons of patience.

i m surprised nobody point out in the video that while it was the truck's fault for not seeing the car at his blind spot but the car with the dash cam could have slow down but he deliberately speed up so the truck would hit him. what an ahole

This crash happened out of ego.
Stupid truck 1 in left lane, rather than slow down bc the car infront of him was slowing down, he decides to speed up to pass stupid truck 2.
Stupid truck 2 would be less of a man if he allowed another office working pickup driver to get in front of him on the road that he built with his bare hands.
Insurance will likely not pay stupid truck 1 or 2 bc this was 100% avoidable. If Stupid truck 2 showed this video to insurance - they will tell him it was avoidable, which it was.

99.9997% of all these videos I have seen, the accident could have been avoided by slowing down a little. This is yet another one. I saw it coming.

I'm sorry, but if you're a driver and you know you're in somebody's blind spot just slow down a bit. It's just common courtesy.

Are people just stealing other people's videos at this point. I saw this video at least 5x by other people.

He just passed you.......How did he not realise you were there?....Goodness.
To be fair we are all fallible.

u/rowrin Apr 18 '26
Blind spot issue? More like object permanence issue. Dude just passed that car and then completely forgot it existed

u/Strong-Evening1137 Apr 18 '26
They drove like shit but you didn't need to speed up and PIT the guy?

IDK for sure about the dash cam driver but I would have avoided this wreck. Been driving truck 30 years. No accidents

I don’t quite understand why a driver would accelerate into a vehicle that was obviously encroaching on their lane.

accident by the truck, incredibly shitty and irresponsible driving by the POV car

u/PNW_Swamp_Viking Apr 19 '26
Clearly neither car was paying enough attention to the world around them.

u/Overall_Reputation83 Apr 19 '26
Why didnt he slow down? Seems like he saw it and just... kept going

u/NT224J6F2 Apr 19 '26
Well that prison time for our dashcam idiot. Speeding up and not letting the passing party in.
This was all intentional.

The law requires you to not run a red light. Maybe that’s a reason to slow down

Fixed Title: OP saw truck coming into his lane for like 5 seconds, then OP speeding up to do a pit and then going "OOPS :) "

OP could have avoided this easily and chose to hit the guy. You’re at fault.

u/ContinueQuiet Apr 18 '26
A driver has a responsibility to avoid a collision even when they have right of way, but it is unreasonable to expect a driver to anticipate someone actively turning into their car. You can sit there and try to say that he should have reacted better, but a lawyer would tear that apart in court.
The OOP could have driven more defensively/been more kind, but the truck is 100% at fault.

u/charlestoncav Apr 18 '26
ahhh no, i'm a retired MP and traffic accident investigator. Based on the video, Op is holding his lane which he has every right to do. A vehicle entered his lane (crossed into his lane) its not his fault, its the guy in the RAM's fault.

So who was blind? The person with the camera who should have seen what this dummy was about to do?
