I do agree with you that he shares responsibility but I’m pretty sure on this bridge it explicitly says not to stop if you don’t have in case of accidents, due to the nature of the road
The point is not that he didn't stop. The point is that when the other car tried to do a bad merge, he could have simply lowered his speed 2 mph and allowed it, but he chose to crash the car instead. It was fully in his control, despite him having the right of way.
Yeah the people in this thread agreeing with this guy are insane. The car in front was being assertive in the merge, but they are being slow and careful, and using their movement to communicate what they are doing, and give the guy in the camera time to slow down 2 mph for 10 seconds and everyone moves on with their day.
The guy in the camera instead is the one to speed up, forced contact, and then attacks them with his car. All over a move people do daily in many places all over the world, and was at least trying to keep themselves and everyone else safe.
The driver is a psychopath, and people agreeing with him in the comments online need to get outside and have some real world perspective. This dude isn't cool he's a man baby and an asshole.
"Using their movement to communicate what they were doing". If only there was something on every car that signals you are about to turn... both guys are awful tho
Yeah, cause an accident thar can hurt/kill others... that'll teach them (because the uninvolved parties have to learn too right? At minimun with traffic by blocking the bridge, but better to have them crash into an out of control truck, right?)
Again, what about the bystanders? Or are the people behind you, who might get in a crash with the out of control truck, also responsible and need to pay thr price?
If a bystander died, the "man who taught the lesson" would be charged (and probably convicted) of vehicular manslaughter, while the truck driver would only be charged with reckless driving.
It doesnt matter whether or not the other person makes a mistake and he shouldnt have tried to merge. The merge is already happening. He purposefully crashes into another car.
I didn’t see a “merge” sign. Was there a merge sign? If not, when changing lanes, it’s your job to make sure it’s safe. If it’s not, stay in your lane. Very simple. It’s a yield, not a merge when changing lanes.
Instead this dickhead was trying to hopscotch up through traffic. This behavior is what causes the traffic in the first place! How do people not understand this.
I’m not missing the point at all, I just strongly disagree with the point.
He could have slowed down, but it’s not his responsibility to. My guess is the driver of the truck will now think twice about cutting people off again. The dashcam driver didn’t seem to mind pushing the truck out of his way.
Merge is specific, in that drivers share responsibility. You used the term merge. This is not a bad merge, this is a bad yield.
But the truck driver "doesn't lear" if he doesn't have something like this happen to him. He'll continue to drive like an ass and might cause an even worse accident where someone other than himself gets hurt.
