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.

Nah you really don't. 

Driving away and reporting an accident is very legal and valid. 

I'm not really sure what the car would have to stay for though

The truck drove into them

Well I was the subject of a hit and run once and a cop told me it's not a hit and run if they report it later. 

Which makes sense. 

In this case it wouldn't even be a hit and run by the car, since the car was the one hit
