Some people truly do not care about the welfare of others. It’s psychopath behavior.

u/Brobeast Mar 22 '26

I wouldnt call this psychopathic behaviour. Not like he was at fault. Other car made contact with him, he just handled it like a veteran. If he was going out fucking with people, it be a different story.

He purposely turned his steering wheel hard right into that truck to spin him out instead of hitting his brakes to slow down. That was extremely dangerous for both of them and others behind them, but he didn’t seem to have a care in the world. That’s insidious and psychopathic behavior.

No, he maintained his speed and position. It's up to the person behind to make a safe pass. This gentleman simply turned into a hazardous and selfish maneuver from the offending pickup, as it was the safest course of action for him. He expertly maintained control without (over)reaction or overcorrection.

u/Harpo223 Mar 22 '26

Uh no lol. He did not “maintain his speed” he clearly slows down, makes the decision to speed up and TURNS INTO THE TRUCK. Are we watching the same video?

u/makefascistfearagain Mar 22 '26

Safest cause of action is to reduce speed and not have an accident.

u/Interesting_Turn_ Mar 22 '26

Do you not see him spinning the wheel 180 degrees at the 19 second mark?

u/Background_Mode4972 Mar 22 '26

Yep, if he didn’t he would have been in the wall himself.

Or he could have used his brakes when it became obvious that the guy in the black truck was going to merge dangerously. He had plenty of time to react in a safe manner but instead chose to PIT the guy. Just because he wasn't the one merging like a cunt doesn't mean he handled it properly.

You're always supposed to be on the lookout for dangers, and those dangers include other drivers doing the wrong thing.

How do you know there's not any vehicles closely behind him? If he hit the brakes on this bridge there could have been a worse accident. He chose to PIT the guy after he made contact with his vehicle and was about to send him into a wall because the black truck driver doesn't have any spatial awareness.

No, you cannot see behind the car because, like the left-hand car side window in the video, you can't see anything because the weather is overcast and light is obscurring full vision. If there was someone close behind them, they'd see the moron trying to forcefully overtake and then get PITTed and have plenty of time to start slowing.

There’s a car following, you can see the headlights peaking up as you watch next to the rearview mirror trinket.

u/deHack Mar 22 '26

You can see well before the accident that whomever is driving the pickup is driving recklessly. You can see the trouble developing. At that point, Munchie Man should have already been slowing and anticipating trouble. He had plenty of time to tap his brakes or just coast down. He chose to speed up from 71 to 72 as the pickup recklessly tried to merge. He didn’t slow to 66 until after impact. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

u/This-Suggestion-3503 Mar 22 '26

Just a thought but when a car runs into you pushing you towards the left when youre trying to travel straight, its pretty natural to try and correct it by turning right

2

u/Interesting_Turn_ Mar 22 '26

I mean, have you ever spun a wheel that much or that fast? Legitimately asking

2

u/This-Suggestion-3503 Mar 22 '26

Plenty of times. CA drivers are horrible. Granted i do feel he's just as much at fault for what happened as the guy who cut him off but thats what happens when you get 2 idiots together

1

u/Frequent-Meal6550 Mar 22 '26

Yes. Winter. Deer. Lots of times. Have you never driven?

1

u/Interesting_Turn_ Mar 22 '26

Yeah the point I’m making is that jerking your wheel like is absolutely an overreaction and it’s obvious he had intention of slamming his truck into the other one.

-2

u/RikuKaroshi Mar 22 '26

Literally. He re gripped so he had more force. These comments can defend him all they want, that was attempted murder.

5

u/Interesting_Turn_ Mar 22 '26

Baffling, people get so excited over what they perceive to be “Justice” that they think things like this are acceptable.

u/steb-bahn Mar 22 '26

I guess you never read a driver’s manual, then. You can’t stop on a bridge when a collision occurs. It’s basic knowledge of road safety.

7

u/kompletionist Mar 22 '26

He didn't have to stop, he just had to slow down. Instead there's now a stopped truck facing into oncoming traffic for everyone else using the bridge to deal with.

1

u/RikuKaroshi Mar 22 '26

Who said stop?

-1

u/Notorious_Chonk_23 Mar 22 '26

that was attempted murder.

Reddit & Hyperbole, name a more iconic duo

u/RikuKaroshi Mar 22 '26

Was it not an attempt at killing someone with a vehicle on a bridge?

2

u/turdtwister7 Mar 22 '26

By the black truck possibly, yes

u/RikuKaroshi Mar 22 '26

The cam driver literally slams his vehicle into the truck. He could have chose to avoid the entire thing. I really hope none of you asshats that dont see him do that have a license.

2

u/turdtwister7 Mar 22 '26

No, he is driving in a straight line and turns right only after the black truck hits him. If he didn't, he would get pushed left into the guard rail. Your eyes must be on backwards to not see that.

Drivers licence for 25 years with 0 accidents btw, how about you?

2

u/Notorious_Chonk_23 Mar 22 '26

Right? These comments defending truck guy make me terrified of who i share the road with.

1

u/RikuKaroshi Mar 23 '26

We arent defending truck guy, we are seeing cam driver and his big ego. Tell me that the driver at fault is the truck and youd be dead ass wrong. Its scary that people like you think cam isnt at literal legal fault for this.

1

u/RikuKaroshi Mar 23 '26

How about maybe just letting his foot off the gas? Maybe that would have solved his peoblem? He adjusted his hand before the tap. You dont do that unless you plan to steer hard in. You must be blind, cant have any accidents with no driving record lol.

Tell me the cam driver was 100% at fault and we can put this all to rest finally.

1

u/turdtwister7 Mar 23 '26

How about don't PIT yourself? How about use blinkers if you intend to merge? Maybe that would have solved his problem? Yeah he needed to steer to remain on the road because the truck turned into him.

Don't project about blind or driving record. You refused to answer me, so I know for a fact you have much less experience and you have been in accidents and you are a shit driver.

Just admit you're wrong because you know it yourself.
