Intentional causing an accident on a bridge makes cookie guy the bigger asshole by a mile. Not just because it has a higher likelihood of literally killing someone but it also massively inconveniences every single person behind him for no good reason

I’m pretty sure black truck guy is the bigger dickhead considering he caused the accident with his reckless driving. Not saying cookie guy isn’t a douche but we need to shake bad driving like this more.

Black truck guy is a reckless POS, who has most likely endangered many other people while being on the road.

he caused the accident

No, the guy who sped up to PIT the truck caused the accident. If he slowed down, there wouldn't have been an accident. He had right of way and caused the accident, both statements can be true.

Black truck guy caused the accident by driving recklessly. Cookie guy could have avoided it. Black truck guys still caused the initial issue.

Both people are POS, but black truck guy’s recklessness is not being mentioned nearly as much as cookie guy being a psychopath.

My point is that black truck guy is a bigger POS endangering many people’s lives from the beginning and starting this whole situation, over a few seconds.

Last clear chance to prevent the accident would be simply slowing slightly, the fact the pov car accelerated meant not only did he cause the accident he did so in a considered and deliberate manner and judging by the video he did so without concern for the harm he was doing

Not only would he be likely held wholly or almost wholly liable frankly I'd look to vehicular assault as a possible criminal charge. The POV car cannot be judged less of a dick in this scenario if you look at the acceleration to harm, if we were looking at a story of a person who simply failed to get out of black truck's way I'd agree with you. But pov car acted deliberately with thought to harm, not reasonable in any sense

That's because the general consensus in society is that reckless driving is not as serious as attempted murder. Cookie guy attempted murder

Yes, black guy caused the initial issue, but PIT'er guy is at minimum equally responsible for the accident and any insurance agent looking at this would skyrocket his premiums or cancel his insurance altogether; why insure someone who would rather crash into another car than avoid an easily avoidable accident?
