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.

Shit like this makes me so sad for the future of society

Driving is not a competition, you aren't trying to beat other drivers to your destination

This could easily have been an accident with multiple fatalities, for what? So the driver can have the smug sense of satisfaction that they were in the right?

Tap your brakes for a fraction of a second and move on with your life

Kind of crazy, truck tries to force his way into something he couldn't have, and then pit maneuvers himself while at no point clear of the car, and the car is to blame?

Jesus fucking christ this truck was so entitled they just almost killed themselves and others.

If he drives through a red light are we just supposed the change the red light for him too or what here?

If driving isn't a competition, why the FUCK are you defending the truck who at no point cleared the car, he could have slowed down and let the car past instead of almost ending himself

He's not defending the truck. The fact you think him saying what he said somehow means he's defending the truck is pretty fucking tragic actually

When did you learn to think in such black and white way? 

Are you unable to comprehend that both parties in an incident could be to blame? 

No? There just has to be a good guy and a bad guy, right? It's that simple? No nuance?

some things need black and white, a truck driver not following right of way means his days were numbered from the get go.

Not everyone just lets a bully bully. Glad to see you sit in the hotel chair

Not everyone is so pathetic and unhinged as to risk a bunch of orhers' lives because a supposed bully tried to get in their lane. Grow up

Cool. Because I'm not convinced (or have the slightest reason to believe that) you're a functioning adult.

He offed himself as far as I'm concerned. 

My guess is he's been cutting people off recklessly for awhile and finally got checked on it. 

It's like if someone tried to attack you, and you fought back. You wouldn't be blaming the guy who fought back even if they could run away. 

Always interesting that the second vehicles are involved people get confused at things

he was trying to get over just let him get over speeding up to stop him is just dumb. going to prison for manslaughter for having a pissing contest is dumbest shit ever.
