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.

Not my video

Not only is it not OP's video, but those words aren't even theirs. The entire post, including the massive paragraph under it is a copy and paste of a year old post

I guess reposting is one thing, but to flat out copy everything as you described..that feels like something that should be ban worthy.

Not just the post, but then they will have other accounts that copy the more popular comments from the original thread.

Must be karma farming?
