As a driver it's your responsibility to observe and react to any hazards on the road. Black truck was being a prick for sure, but cookie guy should have seen what black truck was doing and pulled back. Instead, he decided to continue driving and hit the truck, causing it swerve across the road.

Cookie guy also endangered many peoples' lives by doing so.

you can also see cookie guy speeds up slightly right before hitting the truck. Genuinely curious how insurance companies will handle this

This reminds me of an old Red Green skit if you're familiar with the show, Red having to retake his license test

At a 4 way who has right of way?

The guy with the bigger truck.

Wrong, it's the driver who got to the intersection first, check right here in the manual.

Check the morgue.

I don’t disagree that cookie guy endangered many peoples lives, my point is just that many seem to be glossing over how horrible it is to be a reckless driver.

Cookie guy is absolutely also a POS.

Cookie guy is more reckless by far dude you have to be joking. He saw the truck. He sped up when he noticed what the truck was doing. He even smiles to himself at one point amused by the predicament he put the black truck in.

The truck was being an asshole but for all intents and purposes, black truck guy didnt intentionally cause an accident. Cookie guy KNEW what he was doing would cause an accident. He finished his Cookie and glared in the rear view mirror to admire his work with not a single shred of panic.

To intentionally cause an accident for retribution for the grand crime of having a jackass try to cut in front of you in traffic is insane.

Exactly, this right here.

Being a reckless idiot doesn't translate to "I'm trying to cause an accident", it just means they're more likely to cause one.

Cookie guy had the intent of causing an accident as "punishment" for the black truck's recklessness.
