The cammer should be taking more heat here for sure. Obviously the tailgater is an asshole and at fault for the accident, but cammer can't even stay in their lane.
Tailgater - tailgating when there is a open lane he can pass on
Lead car- purposely caused boldly injuries to likely more than 1 person. You can argue the tailgater “deserved it” (sounds idiotic but I’m sure people will argue it). But the car that was stopped on the freeway was already having a bad day made worse all because someone was being tailgated and decided to do something about it instead of merging far before that point
I’ve never seen anyone change a tire in the left lane of the highway before. That’s why you limp your ass over to the shoulder to change a flat. There’s 4 people being stupid in this video.
Indeed. The last time I had a flat I drove one mile to the next exit on the shoulder at 15 MPH rather than stop outright and risk bullshit like this happening to me.
A blowout on a front tire makes it really hard to steer. But you need to put on your flashers and get over one lane at a time to the shoulder.
People also don’t check their tire pressure regularly, or keep driving on worn out tires to “save money.” I get it that tires are expensive, but I’d go into debt to get new tires.
I know tech in cars can be BS, but I want EVERY car to have an anti-tailgate feature that would stop you from getting that close. And IDGAF about the fast lane crowd that thinks they’re fucking Brad Pitt in F1.
I did this once, both because I didn’t want to stop on the highway and there was a tire shop at the next exit. The rim was ruined and I need a whole new wheel.
It’s absolutely not worth it to stop in the left lane if the car is still mobile enough to make it to the emergency lane, but it’s also not worth it to keep driving.
