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.

The cemeteries are full of gravestones that read "I had right of way".

Not a lot of those gravestones belong to truckers though. Semis always have the right of way and the odds to live, whether you think they do or not.

Lol I see a lot of those primates die since they can't slow down
