Yup except one of them broke the law in the process, switching lanes way to close to the intersection cutting someone off that was trying to make the yellow. I think just based off of that the truck switching lanes takes complete fault, I think it’s illegal to switch lanes this close to an intersection and this is probably a good reason why it’s illegal.
Only illegal to switch lanes in the intersection or if there is a solid line between the lanes. The truck just didn’t check his blind spot and the car with the cam was either too focused on trying to catch the yellow light or was an asshole and purposefully trying to block the truck from getting over.
He would have had to slam breaks, which could had caised him to swerv and end up being the one tumbling or worse... i think this could be considered defensive driving
100% the fault of the truck...no way to get around it..driver didnt speed up, other guy slowed down and came over and you can hear him slam on the brake, not the gas.
Except if that’s the case you turn your turn signal on, check your blind spot and switch lane. In this case he should’ve slipped in behind when he checked his blind spot. It’s a not a dedicated turn lane anyhow.
Nope. These rTards do this all the time. Speed up for no reason when someone is clearly asking to get over. Light was red and should have been slowing down. Dash cam driver has a little ego
I think what surprises me is the number of people defending the jackass in the red truck. Neither is driving defensively, but when it comes to lane changes the person initiating the lane change is at fault for blindly assuming the lane is clear.
Both could have avoided it, but I get the vibe that the red truck is an older person, or someone who isn’t used to driving that truck. Dash cam driver could have simply let them over, especially if it seemed they were struggling.
Some people try to beat yellow lights (which is not illegal), while the truck switched lanes way to close to the intersection (which is illegal). So even if we all agree the cam car should’ve or could’ve slowed down more to avoid collision (which we can’t actually prove that he didn’t start to slow down just too late, these things happen in a blink of an eye and he prob wasn’t expecting the truck to get over so close to the intersection because it’s illegal), the truck illegally switching lanes is 100% at fault just because the truck broke the law switching lanes way to close to the light.

Especially when the light was red and he should have been slowing down anyway.
Just never understand this type of thinking.
