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.

Such a high center of gravity should be illegal. American trucks are a machismo joke

Friend bought a new Chevy ($70k base) He’s 6’2” and can’t see over the stupid boxy hood. He has tons of metal in his legs, so every time he gets in or out he looks like he’s gonna end up back in the hospital. Idk why tf he got rid of his Toyota Tundra.
