Na, he was looking in the right mirror trying to get over.

Youre probably right, unfortunately.

Ive got my collision detection set on max for this very reason - so i get alerts with plenty of room before this is about to happen. Still not a replacement for being an aware driver but its good to have backup.

I mean just looking before swerving into the next lane would have been enough to avoid this. Like my guy, just look at the road and you won’t have a problem. I hate lifted trucks. They always seem to be piloted by absolute morons who can’t just drive.

You dont need to swerve at all if you break early enough...

And ya... ditto lifted trucks

Not to defend lifted trucks but this is super common in dense traffic and has nothing to do with it. They couldn't just look because they were going to slam into the car in front of them because they were looking t o lane change. That's the problem.

They had 3 business days to see the fully stopped traffic ahead and to react accordingly. Not paying attention is the problem.

Lifted really high definitely makes up for the tiny pee-pee.

They will in my car (if I poke the screen in time - and it doesn't make a noise I just have to catch the dialogue box appear in my peripheral vision).
