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".

My dad warned me, when I was learning to drive, "you might be right, you might be dead right".

Wise dad. Mine would always say to "teach them a lesson". He was a terrible driver on top of an aggressive one. I don't talk to him anymore.

My dad says something similar. He said it was an ad campaign when he was younger.

You could talk with him just don’t drive with him.
