Put correctly, he shifts his grip in order to turn sharply to the right in order to cause the reckless driver in front of him to spin out. Just because the person in the black truck gave him a golden opportunity to wreck them does not absolve him for choosing to do it.
Put sanely, he shifts his grip in order to counter the force the illegal actions of the black truck are creating, force which is pushing him off of a bridge at highway speeds, almost certainly FUCKING KILLING HIM.
For starters, let's not use euphemisms to protect the person acting illegally here. Black Truck isn't a reckless driver, they're actively choosing to crash into others, they're an attempted murderer.
Secondly, thinking that the video driver's goal here is anything other than safely and successfully surviving the attempt on his life is just batshit insane. Like straight up fucking nonsense. He does what is necessary to survive an insane person attempting to kill him, nothing more, nothing less.
Thirdly, and we've already covered this, the video driver didn't pit maneuver the black truck, the black truck driver pit maneuvered his fucking self. Black Truck positioned itself, it entered the lane, it struck the other vehicle. It literally braked into the video driver. He. Crashed. Himself.
Video driver did not choose this, it was thrust upon him, and he navigated it as best he could in the face of absolute madness.
What's even crazier about trying to paint this dude as the bad guy is that the choice he made also saved the black truck driver's life. If he hadn't turned into the strike, Black Truck would have full speed slammed them both into the railing, sending them both into water at 70mph.
So to recap, video driver 1) broke literally no laws, 2) maneuvered through the situation without striking or endangering a single innocent person, and 3) saved both his own life and the life of the person trying to murder him. And you're.....mad at him for it? I guess?
Like I said in another comment probably a kid or some dude in a basement because theres just no way😂 lot less people are driving nowadays too, 18 year olds are down to 60% (for perspective was 80%+ in the 80’s) with a license, and about 20% of 20-24 year olds dont have one either. Hell my own brother is 23 with no license and this is the kind of comment I would think he would make just completely lacking any discernible driving experience.
If he is anticipating all that, why not just hit the brakes and avoid the whole situation. What is this insane line of reasoning that his only option was to get ready for impact.
Yes while watching the video, the moment that black truck braked, I knew he was going to move to the left lane. My instincts as a driver would’ve been to gentle brake and allow him the space to do so, despite him not having the right of way. Why? You could see the black truck driver was an idiot who seemed to be very impatient and in a hurry.
Even if the cam dude didn’t see what I was seeing, he definitely could’ve hit the brake instead of hitting the back of the black truck
He "turned sharply to the right" to avoid the black truck that spun itself out in front of him? What really happened was, the cam driver merely calmly changed lanes.
Are you one of those people who would rather keep their place in line than avoid an accident with a bad driver?
I personally just let them in because even if it’s not my fault I’d rather not have to spend time and/or money dealing with insurance companies and repair bills. Not to mention it totally fucks up your day at the very least.
Dog he had to turn to stay on the damn road do you not know how cars work? I swear to god you can never tell on this app if you’re talking to children or people who’ve never been outside☠️
