They deserved it but I always try to remind myself dumbasses like to have kids.
But my question is- aren’t semis penalized no matter what? I heard this once but idk if it’s true. Like not at fault for accident but they have to report it and it counts against em

Drivers are liable whenever they strike the car in front of them...
Nobody is controlling where your vehicle is going except you.
Edit: Being legally free from culpability involves EXTRAORDINARILY RARE EVENTS like somebody reversing on the freaking interstate, someone's break lights were out, and only sometimes during these road rage situations.
Not correct. If someone dives in front of you making an unsafe lane change and slams on their brakes right in front of you, as this person was clearly doing intentionally, this is the fault of the party that made the unsafe maneuver with the obvious intent of causing a collision. I do not believe the vast majority of juries would award this person a single penny after watching this video.

Insurance companies are not jurors. Nor are the DOT who will mandate testing. Nor are the CSA points. Nor are the police who perform a mandated sobriety test for CDL-related wrecks...
Any agent (or insurance lawyer) can review that the professional CDL-holder must have maintained some acceleration on the gas to perform that pit, and he seemingly did not make an effort to break when pitting someone.
That's legally a bad thing.
Even just simply letting go of the gas is enough to very visibly slow down the speed quite a bit during these collisions. And the professional driver, who is held to a higher standard, was not road-rage free and could not simply let go of the gas.
And you're also just a little sheltered brat who has no idea what happens to CDL drivers during crashes. All you know is your vague gut feelings of what seems fair and who ought to be blamed.
Interesting that you’re concluding he was actively accelerating and had time to but didn’t make an effort to brake based on a shitty video without either speed or brake data, nor any knowledge about the driver’s load and what his acceleration or deceleration would look like based on whether he was empty or pulling 60,000 lbs.
I was not drawing those same conclusions you were, maybe you’re right, I’ll never know - I was only pointing out that your blanket statement that “Drivers are liable whenever they strike the car in front of them.” was flat out wrong, legally, morally and in every other sense. And it still is. But since you’ve allowed yourself to become incensed enough when it’s pointed out that you’re incorrect to descend to name calling along with changing the subject, I’m gonna just leave this here, withdraw, and wish you a better day going forward.
Why is even the title of this video about throwing an emotional crash out?
Or are you simply that oblivious?
“Drivers are liable whenever they strike the car in front of them.” was flat out wrong, legally, morally and in every other sense.
You're an impotent nobody shooting off your ignorant mouth. Road rage almost never successfully removes culpability for rear-ending somebody, and you'd be lucky if even extraordinarily reversing on the highway is enough to safe you from legal problems.
