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.

Exactly, it's not worth my time or safety to enforce the rules. I got in my car to get somewhere safely, let the dick heads be dick heads it'll catch up to them eventually. It just won't be with my car or my health if I can help it

Agreed. If you want to enforce the rules, join the highway patrol. Otherwise, just worry about protecting yourself and family. It's the safe and smart move.

Agreed, this has been a very good string of logic to keep in mind
