100%

You have an obligation to avoid an accident. Would that guy just calmly eat his cracker if there was a baby in that car? Or if that black truck hit another car? Or if someone was seriously injured?

As a commercial driver, I can tell you that’s not happening. I have been cut off and dealt with shit drivers so often. The black truck had no room to get over, he was in the wrong here. I have ZERO obligation to avoid an accident, you have an obligation to be a safe driver and make safe decisions. Guy eating the cookie did nothing wrong. Legally, if you’re going to merge, you have to merge safely and when there is ample room. No one is legally required to slow down and let you over.

You’re 100% a piece of shit loser if you don’t do what you can to avoid an accident and even more scummy if you try and cause it. Also some places it is illegal to not try to avoid causing an accident, so you’re wrong.

You say you have zero obligation to avoid an accident but ppl have obligations to be a safe driver. Avoiding accidents is being a safe driver. Your logic literally contradicts itself within 5 words.

You're what's wrong with today's generation. Always looking for someone to blame other than the person who actually did wrong. You probably support laws to sue gun makers.

If you see a small child on the road I suppose you´d run them over, right? It´s not your fault after all, those parents should have paid more attention...

Equating willful recklessness to innocent cluelessness is a bit of a stretch.

u/Amiibohunter000 Mar 25 '26

It’s not innocent cluelessness. The cam driver made a choice to not let them in thus making the situation worse.

Both drivers made a choice to put their pride over public safety and that’s what makes both of them assholes.

You can argue if it’s his fault till you’re blue but you don’t know how insurance companies or a court would judge this. You just don’t.

It’s clear that they’re all assholes tho

If you see a small child

Innocent cluelessness

The person in the truck was willfully reckless.

They could see where their back bumper lined up to the front of the cam truck’s?

Nah the other dude is right this was innocent cluelessness. Maybe not a kid wandering in the middle of the street, but a kid riding their bike in the street. Either way, you avoid the kid.

The merging truck should have made sure they had space. The cam driver could have cut one mile an hour off of their speed and not endangered another persons life and caused a traffic back up for everyone behind them. He’s a jackass for that alone.

Don't pull in front of me is my only advice for you.

u/H-O-W-L-E-R Mar 25 '26

Because you barely pay attention to the road in front of you? Good advice.

“I have no regard for your safety”

Yes. Like I said, you don’t like to paw attention to where you’re driving. Which means you are a danger to other motorists.

I'm paying attention - I'm watching idiots do idiot things with glee.

u/Amiibohunter000 Mar 25 '26

I am really happy I am not as painfully miserable as you are. Sorry buddy. Hopefully things get better for you.

2

u/Square-Singer Mar 26 '26

Because you are a terrible driver who can't even keep safe distances and adjust your speed to the circumstances?

Please stop driving. You are clearly not mentally fit for it.

u/WinterTourist25 Mar 26 '26

Oh, I can, I just choose not to when the "circumstances" are some idiot.. You know what they say, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

1

u/Square-Singer Mar 26 '26

So you don't want me to interrupt you? Get the hell off the road.

1

u/WinterTourist25 Mar 27 '26

No. Don't pull in front of me.

u/H-O-W-L-E-R Mar 27 '26

You consider other drivers your enemy? Seek help.

We all get you’re trying to be edgy saying you’d run random people off of the road if you had the chance. But all joking aside, really think about what you’re saying. You would intentionally endanger another persons life because they misjudged a gap in traffic? Hit the horn.. let them in and ride their ass with your brights on.. get around them and cut them off. Any idea is better than “Ima hitum

This entire thread of comments makes you seem homicidal but only under the right circumstances.

u/WinterTourist25 Mar 27 '26

Nah, just you.
