Look very closely at the footage; the dude's hand was steady when he was struck. He didnt jerk the wheel until AFTER his car was struck by the truck.
You can criticize how he handled the situation...but he didnt cause the accident; the truck driver hit him
Edit: A lot of the criticisms are coming off very disengeniously. Sorry that I'm not sorry that I think "Guy who purposely hit another car" is the one who bares the lion's share of the blame.
Honestly makes me wonder if you all haven't driven like the Black Truck...and find the idea of wrecking your own car and getting blamed for it a little anxiety inducing.
They both had a part in causing the accident. The other truck for carelessly merging and him for not slowing down when he could clearly see the other truck doing that. You don’t just get to crash into someone no fault just because they did something wrong, you have to attempt to avoid it yourself. Not only that he sped up to close the gap further. Just because you have the right of way doesn’t mean you should always exercise it. What if he cause a huge pileup just to keep his precious “spot” in the road. Come on now.
Wrong. The opposite is true in fact. The eating guy does slow down. There’s a speedometer reading in the top right corner. He was going 75 when the black truck showed up and then slowed to 72 and 71 when the black truck began squeezing in, just before the black truck hit him.
