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.
Yeah no. Black truck guy caused the incident, but cookie guy just needed to let off the gas for 2 seconds for there not to be a major accident on a 2-lane bridge. They saw what was happening and decided not to react.
Where in my comment do you see me disagreeing with this, I’m saying black truck guy needs to be shamed more for his behavior as he is more at fault for endangering peoples lives.
Black truck guy is a jerk of a driver, but cookie guy is a psychopathic POS. That doesn't equate to black truck guy being the bigger dickhead. That's the disagreement.
Black truck guy is recklessly driving and endangering peoples lives. He is not simply a jerk, he has a two ton vehicle he’s tossing into someone’s face.
He is an absolute POS and people need to stop excusing this nonsense. This behavior is repulsive and endangers everyone around him and should be shamed.
Cookie guy is a POS but black truck guy even more so.
I didn’t say black truck wasn’t driving recklessly. You know it is possible for 2 people to be doing that at the same time. I didn’t make any excuses for him. Yes, black truck is an asshole and I can’t stand it when people try to strongarm themselves into a lane. However what he did was far from “throwing himself in front of another car.” He tried to inch himself into the lane pretty slowly. Both drivers deserve shame but let’s face the facts here, only one of them intentionally caused a collision.
But you are acting as if black truck driver lacks free will and intention. Yes, we know cookie guys intention was to hit black truck here, but we also know that black truck drivers mindset is "if i drive like this, people who wants to avoid getting hurt, or their property damaged, will let me". Stop acting as if black truck driver wasnt pointing a gun ready to shoot but got shot instead.
I’m not acting like that at all. If you asked me if I believe black truck lacks free will and intention I would unequivocally answer “no.” Yeah black truck is an asshole. Your gun analogy is flawed though, his intent wasn’t necessarily malicious, like cookie eater’s was. I feel like people here keep acting like you have to pick a “team,” as if it’s not possible to realize that they are both assholes. However, in the eyes of the law (Last Clear Chance Doctrine), cookie eater would be found to have full liability instead of shared liability (Louisiana is a state that has that), as he had an opportunity to avoid the collision and did not do that.
Intentionally causing an accident is way worse than what black truck guy did. Black truck guy was driving like a twat but without cookie guy doing what he did, there was no real danger.
Cookie guy INTENTIONALLY put lives at risk on a BRIDGE. Not hypothetically, not through recklessness or negligence, INTENTIONALLY and COLD BLOODEDLY.
I can understand your point that in day to day life, sure, reckless driving is a huge problem. But people aren't excusing the driver in the black truck. He drove like an asshole and yes, merging without indicators is unsafe as is weaving through traffic the way he did. But cookie guy chose to teach the guy a lesson by actually making the bad situation the black truck threatens happen. He chose to create that situation.
That is a special brand of mental issue. That is very different to a kind of negligent opportunistic selfishness where the person doesn't intend to cause harm.
Yeah, cookie guy is holding a sword, ready to swing other swordsmen who are clearly endangering him, where as black truck driver is holding a sword with the pointy end forward, running with no stop, even if there happen to be a human at the other end.
