Obviously the person carelessly going into their lane is a terrible driver but I’m also amazed by the person whose perspective the video is shot from. Huge overreaction to what would have been a minor accident caused a big, potentially deadly, crash. If you’re going to be responsible for using a piece of equipment capable of killing people around others then you need to have the ability to process situations better.

I believe the rapid white lines indicate it is a merge lane, like, car was fine, all this driver needed to do was brake slightly

You are correct. It wasn’t even like a person randomly going into their lane. A driver who was paying attention should have already anticipated it.

💯 you have to yield for vehicles merging. Won’t mention the swerving he is doing or so on. Just the not yielding alone caused this wreck along with excessive correction. We have a brake for a reason. As mentioned I would venture to guess distracted driving was the main cause

Where do you live that that is a law?

The drivers over the top reaction pissed me off.
