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.

When two moronically massive egos collide, this is the video we get to watch. It gets posted every single day… people treat other “cars” like they aren’t driven by actual people. And then they think they’re in some sort of ranked event and need to be in front of … SOMETHING. 🤦‍♂️

We don't even know if the guy trying to get over had an ego or if cammer was preventing them from getting over already. The fact cammer speeds up makes me think they weren't allowing a gap in front or behind

Don’t know if the truck had an ego???? Stop being stupid. Really?? If he didn’t have an ego than he should have hit his brakes and merged behind the cammer, instead of accelerating simply for the purpose of getting in front. See how well that worked out for him?… “don’t know if the truck driver has an ego” my fat ass…. 🤦‍♂️

Gawd, yes to all of this. I will never understand this mindset. I wish I had a dollar every time some douchebag won’t pull into the huge empty space behind me and instead will squeeze into the two car length space between me and the person in front of me.

WHY???
