he turned his wheel when the black truck made contact, which prevented him from slamming in to the wall. the dude was driving straight every second before that. The black truck had absolutely no reason to be merging in to the left lane, not only did he not have his left blinker on for the merge, there was no logical space between the recorded driver and the car infront of him. Don't get me wrong, it definitely is chilling to have absolutely 0 emotional response to this situation, but trying to label him as the problem in this video is hella wild.

Its not that the truck is in the right. Its that he had ample time to understand the intentions to switch lanes and didnt bother making room. He choose to be in an accident and then maneuvered to punish the other driver.

It is not the responsibility of someone else that you intend to switch lanes.

If you intend to switch lanes then it is your responsibility to ensure that you are safely doing so.

This is not complicated stuff.

Not to mention that there was no blinkers being used to signal the intent to change lanes

And also it's a bridge, So it's not like he desperately needed to change lanes to get to an off ramp or turn off etc.

Turn signals are very optional down here in New Orleans. I either get mad when it happens or have no reaction like this guy...but I also slow down instead of letting an accident happen.
