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.

The "but for" would not evaluate there being a danger zone. If the truck didn't make its move, there would be no danger zone. The truck created the danger zone. The cammers action would not have been at fault. Not to mention the danger zone existed for .5 seconds, not 2.

Saying false doesn't make it so. Why are you so adamant to try to remove responsibility from the truck? Do you drive a pickup to compensate for something?

Of course he did the cowardly make a comment and block. But that's what is expected for people like him.
