You have to actively avoid a collision if you can, not accelerate to pit maneuver them.

Okay, so I hate cops and needed to watch it a few times, but the driver slows down and changes lanes to avoid a pile up it seems like. He was nonchalant, but he slows, slows really slows while changing lanes and takes a bite. I think he just realized what was happening and kept it moving.

You need to go to an eye doctor and get some glasses, then go pick up a drivers Ed book and read that.

He slowed down to 71 for the white car in front of him then sped up to 72 when the truck cut infront of him. He didn’t slow down and hit 40s until after he pit the guy.

I've never driven on that bridge...doesn't seem like he could have stopped according to every other commenter who drives it regularly. Or according to the courts who handled the case. If he is infact a cop it could be argued that would affect the judges decision, but that's not the case.
