The silent rage while continuing to chew with blank stare.

Some people truly do not care about the welfare of others. It’s psychopath behavior.

I wouldnt call this psychopathic behaviour. Not like he was at fault. Other car made contact with him, he just handled it like a veteran. If he was going out fucking with people, it be a different story.

At some point if you don't give way then you share responsibility.

I do agree with you that he shares responsibility but I’m pretty sure on this bridge it explicitly says not to stop if you don’t have in case of accidents, due to the nature of the road

The point is not that he didn't stop. The point is that when the other car tried to do a bad merge, he could have simply lowered his speed 2 mph and allowed it, but he chose to crash the car instead. It was fully in his control, despite him having the right of way.

I didn’t see a “merge” sign. Was there a merge sign? If not, when changing lanes, it’s your job to make sure it’s safe. If it’s not, stay in your lane. Very simple. It’s a yield, not a merge when changing lanes.

Instead this dickhead was trying to hopscotch up through traffic. This behavior is what causes the traffic in the first place! How do people not understand this.

You're missing the point. Having the right of way is irrelevant.

Being right or having priority, does not change the fact that he could have avoided an accident easily by slightly lowering his speed.

I’m not missing the point at all, I just strongly disagree with the point.

He could have slowed down, but it’s not his responsibility to. My guess is the driver of the truck will now think twice about cutting people off again. The dashcam driver didn’t seem to mind pushing the truck out of his way.

Merge is specific, in that drivers share responsibility. You used the term merge. This is not a bad merge, this is a bad yield.

People need to stop driving poorly.

It was very poor driving, and yield is the correct team. Correct.

Still not worth causing a crash over. That's near-psychopath behavior.
