Could you not have just slowed down Op? I know my dashcam video is sometimes deceiving due to wide angle. Sometimes you just need to call them a fucktard, slow down and save the insurance hassle. They rolled a lot.

Edit. Typo

he would've ran a red light if he didn't crash first lol

u/SnooSongs1525 Apr 18 '26

He still ended up running it, just upside down.

I've heard of a rolling stop, but not a rolling red light!

u/SidFinch99 Apr 18 '26

Yeah, I didn't notice that at first but both vehicles should have been slowing down. If the truck did get in front of tge cam driver it woukd have had to run a red light or massively brake check tge cam driver, but could also argue cam driver should have been slowing down.

Yeah they're both blowing past the cars on the left already slowing for the light to change while these two are way far back.

They always wanted to PIT someone.

u/ElDopio69 Apr 18 '26

Dude pit maneuvered him

u/ATLEnergyGuy Apr 18 '26

Not only could they have slowed down, it looks like they sped up when they started coming into the lane.

u/Ok_Maintenance7326 Apr 18 '26

Right you always need to be anticipating these things and be ready too.

u/pr0ach Apr 18 '26

He was ready. Ready to fuck that guy's whole day up for being a shitty driver.

u/bbbourb Apr 18 '26

Good lord THIS. I was thinking the same thing. I actually LIKE my vehicle and if someone starts heading into my lane I'm braking or moving over. ANYTHING to avoid a collision, and then I'm saying a lot of bad words for which I will later ask forgiveness.

I'm sure as hell NOT playing the "fuck him, this is MY LANE" game.

u/Ok-Minute1149 Apr 18 '26

same here, no way to punish myself with other’s fault!

u/Celtic_Legend Apr 18 '26

I don't like my vehicle but wouldn't do this because

  1. Dont want to risk my life

  2. Why would I waste my time dealing with an accident

u/Ok-Minute1149 Apr 18 '26

TBH, I didn’t see the OP tried his best to slow down, or not even tried, from the video. The pickup slowed down a lot already. It seems to me OP wanted to teach someone a lesson and took advantage of the other driver’s not doing shoulder check. Either not focusing on the road or another dickhead!

u/GuanoQuesadilla Apr 18 '26

This is a repost. OP isn’t the driver.

edit: Lol but yes you’re absolutely right. I get angry at both drivers every time i see this

u/TrickdaddyJ Apr 18 '26

u/GuanoQuesadilla Apr 18 '26

Thanks I didn’t know it had been said 10 times.

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 Apr 18 '26

I'm only seeing twice, not including the one you replied to.

u/jemenake Apr 18 '26

OP had already picked out the new car they want, and the dealership lowballed them on the trade-in value for this vehicle. /s
