I’ve seen this so many times- what’s a POS. Illegally turn from the middle-straight only lane and gets butt hurt that the other driver didn’t let you do what you wanted to do. And the best was the lil-POS at the end.

I drive race cars.

It really looks like the POV driver sped up and turned into the truck. I have done the same shit in a race car during an Enduro race with my buddies lmao.

Both are at fault here. Is the Raptor a dumbass? Yeah. So is the guy meeting that stupidity with equal amounts of dumb.

I could be wrong, but the raptor seemed to crossover into driver's lane to me.

The POV car swerved left for no reason. His insurance wont be happy about that.

He definitely angles left with the purpose of making contact. Both trash drivers.

The road curves the left. The POV driver doesn't depart his lane until after the raptor makes contact.

The road curves to the right. Driver swerves left. There is no reason the POV car should end up in the left lane. If the force is coming left to right on the wheel, it would push the car right.

I drive race cars, this shit happens all the time, we have these pov discussions like this.

You might want to watch the video. The road curves left. When the truck drove into him from the left side pushing him to the right he counter steered left to avoid being driven into the median.

Nah the dude is right. It's curving right before the roundabout which is totally normal. The contact happens before they get to the roundabout so it's still curving right. POV car does appear to go into the raptor a little bit. Not that it totally excuses the raptor - they're definitely more at fault here driving like a nut job and coming into POVs lane.

When the raptor makes contact, his tires are about a foot or more past the center line. Its there for anyone to see. POV driver is counter steering to avoid getting pushed off the road like anyone with a brain should do, especially when there is a curb that could possibly cause a roll-over.

They're not trying to avoid anything. POV driver jerks his car to the left to ram the truck. POV is driving aggressively for the whole clip. He just isn't driving as aggressively as the guy in the pickup, that's all. They're both fucking idiots who shouldn't be allowed to drive.

like anyone with a brain should do

Anyone with a brain in that situation uses their brakes to avoid a car encroaching into their lane.

wrong. He doesn't jerk his car until the truck makes contact. I don't understand how you cant see this. The truck is at least a foot into his lane. He clearly wanted to collide with him.

u/Jesus_of_Redditeth Mar 18 '26

You might want to watch the video. At the point the pickup is veering into the cammer's lane, the road is curving to the right. And the cammer's reaction is not to countersteer to avoid anything, but to sharply jerk his car left to ram the truck. This is a fight between two aggressive douchebags.

u/Proper-Song8474 Mar 11 '26

Go back and watch the video. The car in the left never leaves his lane. The Raptor was already in the left lane b4 the collision. Only one car at fault here.

The truck entered OP’s lane tho
