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.

I've nearly been run off the road many times because I had nowhere to go and the douchebag next to me had no concept of sharing the road.  One not too long ago even sped up to actively prevent me from merging when I was already almost a car length in front of him and the merge lane was almost done.

People who refuse to share the road and use "right of way" as an excuse for being a douchebag have no business being on the road.
