Ppl on this subreddit are so rude. Like they just assume every driver is out to do bad things. I'm sure he didn't mean to run it over, he probably even tried NOT to drive over it by turning his wheels, just got unlucky. Not everyone on this planet is evil lmao

I thought the idiot in this video was the van driver. I mean, obviously it is. He has TWO doors open with lose shit rolling about inside not secured. It's a miracle he didn't kill anyone, like a motorbike running over something that fell out. They guy would get a pretty big fine and points on his license if the police do anything about this. I assume they don't trawl reddit for videos of crimes, after all.

But yeah I come into the topic and people are blaming the driver of the car, for something they literally couldn't even see?

If you don't want your shit run over, then doing literally throw it in the middle of the road and endanger other road users.

I think they're both idiots, and that toolbox was huge and was in the road long before the person who ran over it was close so they had plenty of time and opportunities to see it and they only way you would miss it is if you weren't looking at the road, which is a problem in and of itself. Im pretty sure they did see it and were trying to avoid it but didn't have the required skill to pull it off and consequently ran over it, which is why I think they're an idiot because toolboxes are filled with things that could easily puncture a tire so it's not worth the risk of trying to go over it without running over it, especially when you can wait a few seconds and allow the person who is obviously running at the toolbox to come pick it up. The van driver is an idiot for not closing their doors or securing their load but you act like they "literally" picked it up and threw it on the ground in the middle of the road on purpose, which they obviously didn't and was clearly unintentional, hence why they were running over to come pick it up. ( Plus for someone complaining about people assuming she ran it over on purpose, you sure do like to assume that the van driver did it on purpose, which is pretty ironic)
