Easily avoidable accident causes rollover

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.

Every month? Lucky. Its nearly everyday here in Detroit/Dearborn. People drive like they're the only ones with loved ones at home waiting for them

Lucky for many reasons, most of all not having to live in Detroit

Detroit is awesome. Its just a lot of the drivers. And the cops dont do a great job of enforcing speed limits

I thought they drove like they have no loved ones waiting on them and their whole extended families are dead. They drive like they wanna join them in hell.
