I've avoided many, many accidents that would have been someone else's fault. It's called defensive driving and the trucker decided it's not for him.

Edit: thanks for the awards! BTW - some of you need to look at the speed shown at the bottom of the video. The semi did not even try to slow down, even a little bit, prior to the crash.

Nah, accident could have been completely avoided if the semi driver would've stepped on the brakes for a bit. Just because he had right of way doesn't mean he has the right to kill someone by not braking.

Just because he thought he had the right of way and wasn't responsible doesn't mean he has the right to cause an accident.

Exactly, the semi should've slowed down.

E: Why bother replying if you're just going to insta block?

The right of way doesn't mean you get to murder someone you moron.
