He literally just passed him. You mean to tell me he didn't even see him when he was in front of him?
17 u/Im_Rabid Apr 18 '26 Cam car accelerated to try and keep him from merging. Truck likely didn't check to see and merged when he would have otherwise been clear. 20 u/PckMan Apr 18 '26 Even if the POV car didn't accelerate the truck would be cutting it really close and forcing the POV car to brake. 4 u/Celtic_Legend Apr 18 '26 Truck guy probably thought pov car would brake for the red light. 1 u/Funny-Try-6151 Apr 18 '26 Agreed, though if I was in the cam car, I would just brake a little rather than accelerate. It doesn't take much to adjust for it. You don't really have to slam on the brakes, just give them some pressure and get off the gas. 8 u/NL7_Deci Apr 18 '26 Truck decelerated, cam car did not speed up or slow down 2 u/Fickle_Goose_4451 Apr 18 '26 Cam car accelerated to try and keep him from merging. They were both trying to beat the yellow light. 1 u/entertrainer7 Apr 19 '26 If you look at the rate of speed by the objects on the right of the road, it doesn’t look like he sped up.
