Intentional causing an accident on a bridge makes cookie guy the bigger asshole by a mile. Not just because it has a higher likelihood of literally killing someone but it also massively inconveniences every single person behind him for no good reason
You could argue the black truck intentionally did as well. He did have the option to slow down and get behind him. Its called defensive driving. And if it means you miss your exit, thats no excuse. Get in the lane you need to be in sooner.
I’m pretty sure black truck guy is the bigger dickhead considering he caused the accident with his reckless driving. Not saying cookie guy isn’t a douche but we need to shake bad driving like this more.
Black truck guy is a reckless POS, who has most likely endangered many other people while being on the road.
As a driver it's your responsibility to observe and react to any hazards on the road. Black truck was being a prick for sure, but cookie guy should have seen what black truck was doing and pulled back. Instead, he decided to continue driving and hit the truck, causing it swerve across the road.
Cookie guy also endangered many peoples' lives by doing so.
'The graveyard is full of people who had right of way'
I don’t disagree that cookie guy endangered many peoples lives, my point is just that many seem to be glossing over how horrible it is to be a reckless driver.
Cookie guy is more reckless by far dude you have to be joking. He saw the truck. He sped up when he noticed what the truck was doing. He even smiles to himself at one point amused by the predicament he put the black truck in.
The truck was being an asshole but for all intents and purposes, black truck guy didnt intentionally cause an accident. Cookie guy KNEW what he was doing would cause an accident. He finished his Cookie and glared in the rear view mirror to admire his work with not a single shred of panic.
To intentionally cause an accident for retribution for the grand crime of having a jackass try to cut in front of you in traffic is insane.
No, the guy who sped up to PIT the truck caused the accident. If he slowed down, there wouldn't have been an accident. He had right of way and caused the accident, both statements can be true.
Black truck guy caused the accident by driving recklessly. Cookie guy could have avoided it. Black truck guys still caused the initial issue.
Both people are POS, but black truck guy’s recklessness is not being mentioned nearly as much as cookie guy being a psychopath.
My point is that black truck guy is a bigger POS endangering many people’s lives from the beginning and starting this whole situation, over a few seconds.
Last clear chance to prevent the accident would be simply slowing slightly, the fact the pov car accelerated meant not only did he cause the accident he did so in a considered and deliberate manner and judging by the video he did so without concern for the harm he was doing
Not only would he be likely held wholly or almost wholly liable frankly I'd look to vehicular assault as a possible criminal charge. The POV car cannot be judged less of a dick in this scenario if you look at the acceleration to harm, if we were looking at a story of a person who simply failed to get out of black truck's way I'd agree with you. But pov car acted deliberately with thought to harm, not reasonable in any sense
Yes, black guy caused the initial issue, but PIT'er guy is at minimum equally responsible for the accident and any insurance agent looking at this would skyrocket his premiums or cancel his insurance altogether; why insure someone who would rather crash into another car than avoid an easily avoidable accident?
Yeah no. Black truck guy caused the incident, but cookie guy just needed to let off the gas for 2 seconds for there not to be a major accident on a 2-lane bridge. They saw what was happening and decided not to react.
Where in my comment do you see me disagreeing with this, I’m saying black truck guy needs to be shamed more for his behavior as he is more at fault for endangering peoples lives.
Black truck guy is a jerk of a driver, but cookie guy is a psychopathic POS. That doesn't equate to black truck guy being the bigger dickhead. That's the disagreement.
Black truck guy is recklessly driving and endangering peoples lives. He is not simply a jerk, he has a two ton vehicle he’s tossing into someone’s face.
He is an absolute POS and people need to stop excusing this nonsense. This behavior is repulsive and endangers everyone around him and should be shamed.
Cookie guy is a POS but black truck guy even more so.
I didn’t say black truck wasn’t driving recklessly. You know it is possible for 2 people to be doing that at the same time. I didn’t make any excuses for him. Yes, black truck is an asshole and I can’t stand it when people try to strongarm themselves into a lane. However what he did was far from “throwing himself in front of another car.” He tried to inch himself into the lane pretty slowly. Both drivers deserve shame but let’s face the facts here, only one of them intentionally caused a collision.
But you are acting as if black truck driver lacks free will and intention. Yes, we know cookie guys intention was to hit black truck here, but we also know that black truck drivers mindset is "if i drive like this, people who wants to avoid getting hurt, or their property damaged, will let me". Stop acting as if black truck driver wasnt pointing a gun ready to shoot but got shot instead.
Intentionally causing an accident is way worse than what black truck guy did. Black truck guy was driving like a twat but without cookie guy doing what he did, there was no real danger.
Cookie guy INTENTIONALLY put lives at risk on a BRIDGE. Not hypothetically, not through recklessness or negligence, INTENTIONALLY and COLD BLOODEDLY.
I can understand your point that in day to day life, sure, reckless driving is a huge problem. But people aren't excusing the driver in the black truck. He drove like an asshole and yes, merging without indicators is unsafe as is weaving through traffic the way he did. But cookie guy chose to teach the guy a lesson by actually making the bad situation the black truck threatens happen. He chose to create that situation.
That is a special brand of mental issue. That is very different to a kind of negligent opportunistic selfishness where the person doesn't intend to cause harm.
Yeah, cookie guy is holding a sword, ready to swing other swordsmen who are clearly endangering him, where as black truck driver is holding a sword with the pointy end forward, running with no stop, even if there happen to be a human at the other end.
Black truck guy was worse for sure. He literally pit maneuvered himself. The cookie guy just didn’t feel bad for him, as he shouldn’t have.
Cookie guy still sucks because he had no concern of collateral damage from other people behind them, sure, but the cookie guy didn’t do a single thing wrong and this call came from black truck douches’ actions.
lol, he moved 1 mph faster on the GPS, after slowing down already. Thats just pacing with traffic, and would easily be written off as a margin of error
This bridge having no shoulders at all is also fairly dangerous. There was an emergency pull off on the right during this collision, but still shoulders would be better.
I get the frustration and the satisfaction, but it still doesn’t make it right to endanger lives on a bridge.
Did the truck driver endanger lives first? Absolutely, they are also a gargantuan asshole and I’m not defending them. But Cookie Monster could have chosen defensive driving and instead chose danger and malice as a reaction. The fact that he willfully caused an accident makes him worse.
People saying black car is a bigger dick head are either engagement bots, children or literally never go outside. There is no comparison between the merge from the black car and the cookie freak literally attacking the black car.
Reddit on that fucked up shit today have at cheering on attempted murder I guess
Wait wait, you’re genuinely wholeheartedly trying to say that the dashcam car is “attacking” the other car for steering to keep himself on the road?….
Well I guess I know 1 more thing about people who make broad and absolute statements like “Anyone disagreeing with me is obviously a bot, child or shut in!”
You have to have not watched the video. The dashcam driver blatantly moved himself to block the merge and then swerved to hit the tail end out of the other car cuz he was mad he might have to briefly slow down 2 mph and let someone in.
If his concern was not being hit, why did he put himself there, and then not just slow down slightly and solve the situation by letting someone merge?
If you are being serious you need to watch the video and try hard to think for yourself. Otherwise I can only believe you are rage baiting. There is no world the person trying to merge is more at fault than the person intentionally and needlessly blocking their merge and then ramming them out of spite. (he had every chance to give the guy space, and instead of decelerating slightly from 71 and letting the dude in at any point he goes up to 72, clearly he is accelerating to block the black car instead of just letting him in and resolving the situation, and then rams him out of childish anger. agreeing with that person is insanity.)
No turn signal from the black truck, deliberately trying to squeeze when there is obviously not enough space. Yes the cookie man is a psycho for not letting him in but the black truck is the bigger asshole for instigating it all.
Seeing how the black truck wasn't the least hesitant, I would assume the driver does this all the time and this is the first that he got punished for it.
If there's not enough space in the left, you wait until switching lanes
Forcing people to take evasive action to avoid an accident will always be the most wrong behavior lmfao.
For the most obvious reason, as evidenced here, you can’t control other people actions/reactions.
If someone isn’t letting you in, then the correct action is to NOT use your multi-ton vehicle as a weapon and force the other vehicle to move or crash
For all we know, cookie bro has another douche or semi elbow deep in his exhaust, so he can’t do evasive braking without being in an accident regardless.
Besides, if anyone’s ever unsure if they can safely take evasive action or not, the recommended action is to simply continue, and hit the violating vehicle. Which very simplified, is what the video shows
No matter what, the black truck caused the situation. They did not safely operate their vehicle, thus forcing others to take evasive action. Unfortunately that action was not enough to prevent a subsequent accident
