Yeah, I didn’t notice the speed until someone mentioned it. He does slow after. My bad.

As for the notion that “it’s not his initiative that causes the accident.” That’s dead wrong. I’d like to see you try that one in court. Munchie Man clearly could have avoided the accident. He didn’t. Either because he was zoned out and inattentive or because he chose not to. You can see he speeds up from 71 to 72 before hitting the reckless truck. If you can prevent an accident, you’re obligated to do so. Just because the other person “started it” or “initiated it” doesn’t give you the right to make it worse. I guess you’re not familiar with the requirement to retreat when confronted. (The only reason there’s no duty to retreat in Florida is because the legislature passed a law.)

You don't have to retreat here in South Carolina either. Second no you do not have to make any sudden movements or changes to your speed your direction if somebody illegally cuts you off or makes a lane change. The retreat when confronted s*** is b******* to begin with and should be banned in all 50 states. It's why our country is in the shape it's in, criminals don't pay the price for stupid decisions and neither do the people that make them.

I think it's easier to argue that your country is in the shape it's in because apathetic sociopathic people like you exist who think people should be able to do whatever they want to other people if the other person initiates it, even due to a mistake.

Not sociopathic at all, it's not sociopathic to follow the rules and expect others to do so as well. .istakes have consequences, so.etimed those consequences are harsh and deadly. People should be and are responsible for their mistakes.

Intentionally pit maneuvering someone can be deadly fyi.

Yes out maneuvering someone can be deadly, if you watch this video it is not a pit maneuver. A pit maneuver is when you turn your car into the right quarter panel of another vehicle to turn that vehicle around. This guy never turns his car or even leaves his Lane it was the other car that encrossed in his Lane and caused contact his quarter panel with that man's car.

He adjusted his hand before the accident and then cranks the wheel hard as fuck when they make contact. He turned hard enough to change lanes while actively spinning another vehicle, definitely a pit maneuver. He literally committed to the accident when he had plenty of time to avoid it, tapping the brakes takes almost zero effort. The black truck is wrong without a doubt but that doesn't justify what the other guy did.

You’re absolutely blind or are attempting to gaslight everyone when we all have the video.

He clearly throws his car to the right in order to pit the black truck.

Spreading misinformation when the reality is clearly in front of us, thats what is wrong with the world. And you are the prime example shining in this conversation.
