Date: March 8th, 2018 11:40 AM Author: Comical Hot Affirmative Action First time I watched it looked like she had space but the trucker sped up to prevent her from merging. Upon multiple viewings, I'm inclined to believe there were some retards further up in the left lane who slowed down which created a problem for the car's merge. In that situation, it may have been difficult for the truck to slow down in time. I didn't have sound on. He may still have not slowed down/sped up to prevent the merge. If he did that at all, he's clearly partially at fault. The accident didn't have to happen and the girl could've been hurt. Her merge attempt wasn't perfect but the trucker made the situation worse than it had to be obviously. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3912809&forum_id=2#35561239) |

Date: March 8th, 2018 11:46 AM Author: appetizing half-breed dopamine Just watched again... she's 100% in the wrong. She had about 1 1/2 car lengths to get in there. She was being an impatient cunt and didn't have the room. When the trucker made it evident he wasn't going to slow down, she should have slowed down and pulled in behind the trucker and waited til she passed the trucker in the right lane.

People are fucking idiots that have never driven a truck. I constantly used to bitch at my wife for tailgating truckers or doing stupid shit like cutting them off.
I was like, you realize it takes him way longer to stop his rig than an average car right? It was like talking to a wall.
She would also constantly tailgate truckers and pick-ups towing trailers/boats. I would say, "You know what percentage of trailers are boats are connected wrong?" She had no clue that most people are idiots.
Two rules of the road: 1.) NEVER cut off truckers. 2.) NEVER tailgate (Particularly any vehicle towing anything). |

The fact that the car merged in front of the truck (albeit with little space) when traffic was not significantly slowing (note the lack of brake lights) means that the collision likely wouldn't have happened if the trucker hadn't accelerated. |

Date: March 8th, 2018 1:50 PM Author: fluffy den Nobody's denying that the car driver was stupid. That doesn't mean the truck driver is blameless. He should have slowed down before she ever tried to merge, to increase the following distance after the first car merged (especially if he's hauling something making it very difficult to stop).
As tempting as it is to try to teach bad drivers a lesson, it's not ok to do so by increasing risk of death and dismemberment. |

"but denying a rude person access"
Is not privileged conduct.
"in a situation where there was not adequate space"
Objectively false, as proved in the screen cap.
"The trucker mitigated by going over on the left hand side of the road."
And, more importantly, aggravated by accelerating.
"The bitch had plenty of time to get back in the other lane, yet she did not."
And the trucker didn't have to do anything. There would have been no collision absent his acceleration. |

this is no different than if you're at a stop light, im behind you, you don't see the light change (or you do but decide not to move), and i accelerate and crash into you, then accuse you of impeding traffic. yeah, you're liable for impeding, but im 100% liable for the wreck. your car was there to be seen irrespective of whether you were obeying traffic laws.
even if she was being a dick the most she's culpable for is a civil infraction. her merge wasn't the proximate cause of the accident. the trucker accelerating upon seeing her try to merge was the proximate cause. |

|
Date: March 8th, 2018 1:36 PM Author: Geriatric Market Generalized Bond It was too small a space for her to try to merge so initially it was her fault for creating a dangerous situation. If I was the trucker, I'd reluctantly hit my brakes to let the person in and be pissed about it.
IMO it's clear the trucker saw her. When she cuts in front of him he speeds up. You can tell because the gap between him and the nissan in front of him closes and neither the nissan or pickup in front of it touched their brakes. He also veers to the left before impact reacting to her trying to invade his lane.
My conclusion is that they are both to blame at different points, but the accident should have been avoided and was ultimately caused by the Trucker's aggressive response. |

you’re the kind of idiot who thinks brake checking is okay because the trailing car is presumed at fault in a rear end collision. |

Follow the fucking law. If you don't have right of way then don't proceed.
I'm not saying the trucker isn't an asshole and even though the car driver will have to pay (or his/her insurance will pay) and possibly get a ticket, the truck driver be dealing with hours of BS that could easily have been avoided. |

this is like the jaywalking or brake checking example. you can’t just wait for someone to make a mistake and then murder them becayse you “have right of way.” there are other factors at play and i suspect that this truckdriver will face consequences. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2018 8:51 PM Author: flesh boiling water old irish cottage Man, they're way too generous handing out driver's licenses if you fuckers drive (big "if"). And I'm trying to explain to you what the is law pretty much everywhere.
Let me try another way. For the truck driver to be at fault here, he would have had to rear-end the car. He did not rear-end her. Look here: https://youtu.be/UAlSskuIWHE?t=40s
All side damage for a merging car. That means the car loses.
"this is like the jaywalking or brake checking example."
Jaywalking is complicated because cars have an enhanced duty to try ot avoid hitting pedestrians because they're more likely to be harmed. Brake checking is a fine line but generally speaking, unless it is malicious if you rear end the car ahead of you then you are paying. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2018 10:17 PM Author: Spectacular bipolar skinny woman toilet seat If you think this turns on whether he hit her back bumper or side panel, then you’re dumber than I thought.
As far as I know, in most states, there is a general duty to avoid collisions when it’s safe to do so.
You seem to be arguing that the trailing car is at fault if he rear ends someone who brake checks him on the freeway. Or that you can intentionally run down a jaywalker. |
|
Date: March 8th, 2018 10:25 PM Author: flesh boiling water old irish cottage "If you think this turns on whether he hit her back bumper or side panel, then you’re dumber than I thought."
Actually, that is significant here.
"As far as I know, in most states, there is a general duty to avoid collisions when it’s safe to do so."
Not really, no. You seem to not understand wtf "right of way" means. Under your rule, it would be meaningless.

Date: March 8th, 2018 8:45 PM Author: Mentally impaired community account hospital ok, i watched this shit again. here's what i perceive as happening:
1. traffic is going up a slight hill. 2. all left lane traffic, including the semi, accelerate while on the uphill. the semi starts accelerating around the 11 second mark, before the merging woman even appears on camera. you can tell by the timing of the lane lines. the semi accelerates slightly more than the cars in front, causing him to gain on them. 3. merging woman first signals a merge at 16 seconds. at that point, there is not enough room to safely merge. it appears to be a larger gap than it is due to the wide angle of the lens in the semi's camera. lane line markers are 10 feet long with a 30 foot gap in between. looking at the lane lines when the merging woman first signals, there is maybe 15-20 feet at the absolute most between her and the car in front of the semi, and ~10 feet between the rear of her car and the front of the semi. at freeway speeds, that's an absolutely retarded merge. the california dmv handbook says: "Any time you merge with other traffic, you need a gap of at least 4 seconds, which gives both you and the other vehicle only a 2 second following distance." 4 seconds at 65-70 mph is about 400 feet. 4. merging woman crosses the lane line between 17 and 18 seconds, 3.5 seconds after clearing the front of the semi in the right lane and 1.5 seconds after signaling. probably not enough time to ensure a safe merge. as she merges, she slows down more, causing her to fall in line with the semi. even in such a dumbshit move, she might have pulled it off by accelerating very close to the truck in front of the semi. 5. by 19 seconds, when the merging woman is headed into the left lane, the semi is both pulling left and slowing down in relation to the lane lines in an attempt to avoid an accident. at this point, the merging woman has 4-5 seconds to pull back into the right lane and brake before running into the truck ahead of her, which she does not do.
verdict: merging woman at fault. semi was accelerating before she appears, not in malicious attempt to stop the merge.
also, TMF is right: the burden is on the merging car to avoid accidents or disruptions to the flow of traffic in the other lane.

He may have been accelerating in anticipation that she would try to merge, but as you point out it would have been a retarded merge anyway, so the trucker actually had good reason not to let her do it. |

Date: March 8th, 2018 8:49 PM Author: Brilliant sadistic tank theatre 1. Obviously, the trucker was in the right -- legally speaking. Merger must yield. LOL at calling the 3mph "acceleration" malice or whatever. Are we even sure he could see her?
2. You should NEVER try to merge that close to a truck. What would happen if the person in front of her braked? What if he shitty car couldn't hit the extra 10MPH highway boost? You ALWAYS should drive defensively.
3. You are in a 3,000lb box one foot above the ground. He is in a 30,000 box 6 feet above the ground. A collision is equivalent to a train running over a soda can. When driving, you MUST understand that trucks handle closer to trains than cars. Research youtube vids of trucks going downhill in the snow, or truck-car collisions if you don't understand this.
4. She's lucky she didn't die, and potentially kill others, due to her negligence. That merge was a death wise, especially considering the proximity of the second truck. If there was another truck behind her, she would have most certainly died. Driving isn't about being badass or testing the limits of the law. Its the most dangerous thing we do on a daily basis and should be treated accordingly. |

Date: March 8th, 2018 10:11 PM Author: flesh boiling water old irish cottage No, it isn't. JFC. The truck did nothing in response to the car, which nearly caused an accident. The truck could have, at that moment, sped up or slowed down, without any liability because ultimately the truck had the right of way. My point was that even though it didn't end in an accident, the car would still get a ticket if a cop saw because it was breaking the law.

At the end of the day, it is primarily the person who is changing lanes, turning, etc.,'s responsibility to make sure there isn't an accident. Similar to how if there is an ESTABLISHED car firmly in front of you, it is your fault if you hit it. The merging car was in the best position to avoid the accident. The merging car is basically always in the best position to avoid a merging accident. That is why we assign them blame. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3912809&forum_id=2#35567079) |

Date: March 9th, 2018 5:13 PM Author: pearl alcoholic spot Trucker at Fault for multiple reasons:
1) He shouldn't have been in the left lane
2) He's one of those people that doesn't maintain speed in the left (passing) lane, which generally fucks up the flow of traffic, causing people to weave in and out of lanes (making it more dangerous for everyone). This is evidenced by the fact that someone else merged into the lane right before the person he hit.
3) As soon as the blonde (not sure how this fact is confirmed?) puts her signal on and starts merging into the lane he accelerates to try to stop her.
4) The point at which she continues to go in and he continues to accelerate he did not make contact and she was near another truck. Therefore, he should have slowed down. He was the only one who could have prevented an accident at that point and chose not to.
Don't get me wrong, I hate people that merge into your lane when there is little room to. But I also hate people who ride in the left lane too slowly... they are the cause of a huge chunk of accidents. |
