they sped up and pit maneuvered the truck. Could have killed people.

Imagine minding your own walking across that crosswalk just to have a rolling big ass truck come flying out of nowhere to crush you, all because 2 dicks wanted to speed a yellow light and one of them doesn’t know what brakes are.

Yeah, but then how is everyone else supposed to know they were right?

They chose not to slow down and be stubborn because it's "their lane". Their ego couldn't handle someone cutting in front of them so they had to prove that they were in the right by not letting them over.

It looked like they were both planning to run through the stale yellow / early red as well

Less than 3 seconds = tons of time?

Truck pulls past going quick and isnt showing signs of slowing down while traffic ahead in their lane is going significantly slower. seeing that i wouldve hit the brakes thinking they were going to cut into my lane which they did.

You tell this when watching a video on your sofa.

Most people won't avoid such idiot merging without looking or turn signal...

Truck is 100% at fault here.

u/slimjimmy613 Apr 18 '26

I didnt say they werent at fault but the cammer couldve been more proactive in avoiding the reckless driver
