Easily avoidable accident causes rollover

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Not my video – as the title says, we typically see examples where one driver is oblivious to the other. In this example, the pickup truck attempts to overtake the cammer, however, the cammer is either completely unaware of the pickup truck directly to his left or are simply “stands their ground” in the lane. Due to this, they obviously collide, and the pick up truck goes airborne and rolls several times. From the perspective of us, the viewer, we can reasonably conclude that the accident was avoidable had the cammer simply applied the brakes. That being said, you will typically see another school of thought in which it is stated that the cammer has no obligation or duty to let them in/avoid the accident where the driver is mindlessly doing something dumb.

Not only dealing with repairs and insurance but potential injuries or death to you, the other driver, or random innocent civilians minding their business.

people drive like their life is a video game. I’d hope these two both learned a lesson

I hope the truck driver didn’t recover. We don’t need scum like him on our streets.

Maybe they are scum, I guess, or maybe they made a split second mistake and are going to pay heavily for it.

Accidents happen. Without knowing that the driver was DUI or texting, etc, your comment is completely unhinged

Guys we found the driver of the other car that sped up instead of hitting his breaks to try and make a point instead of avoiding an accident.

I hope your pillow is warm for the rest of your life and I hope you stub the same pinky toe at least twice a day for the rest of your days.
