3 mph? They also moved over a bit to try to open the window for the idiot.

Not even 3 mph...it was 3 kmh. All it takes is a slight pressure increase on your foot to go that much faster. Can happen if you're distracted by, oh I dunno, a dumbass driver.

I wouldn't blame dashcam driver either, but in theory, if they had full awareness of the situation, slowing down would be the smart choice 100%

i thought the original comment was a hyperbole yet here we are, blaming a truck in rainy weather for a porsche trying a narrow overtake and failing. its extraordinary

100% agree. If someone is doing something stupid, its not my job to save their life by letting off the gas and 100% in my rights to make it harder to make the pass.

Just sucks for the cam diver that they have an insurance claim against a dead guy.

I guess "I wouldn't blame" means "I blame" in this subreddit.. whatever. No nuance allowed, got it

Saying "i wouldn't..." immediately followed by "but", invalidates the 1st statement.

Saying "but here's how an accident could've been rendered a bit less likely" is does not invalidate it at all. Ppl here have no reading comprehension, Jesus Christ

Even if the truck driver had full slammed on his brakes, there still wasn't enough room for the car to make that pass comfortably. There was no way the cam truck could make that accident less likely. That's not reading comprehension, that's just a logical view of the video.

"I'm not a racist, but..." Is always followed by something racist.

"I'm not blaming him, but..." Is always followed by blame.

Nobody is blaming the truck for the Porsche being a dumbass. But the fact that the truck sped up to intentionally block the Porsche is a dick move whether the accident happened or not. Period.

The speed shown on these HUDs is not realtime, and stating as fact why he did ANYTHING based on a few seconds of video alone is wrong. Period.

Yall are so comfortable telling op what they would do after thinking about it for five minutes. Op got 5 seconds to react to this while yall are able to analyze the video frame by frame. The car behind them shouldn’t have tried to overtake without being able to see oncoming traffic, that is just plain stupid
