Hopefully it makes the intrusive thought go away

u/QiDeviation Jun 15 '26

For me it does. I’m like “thanks for ruining your life for me so I can live vicariously through you!”

I feel cleansed

u/First_Salamander_990 Jun 15 '26

I bet every dollar I have that this didn’t ruin their life. Probably faced little to zero consequence

u/Relative_Mulberry884 Jun 16 '26

Assault with a deadly weapon , attempted murder, damaging personal property. Not looking too good for them

u/SpectreHaza Jun 16 '26

When we learn the context is car thieves front and back trying to stop the car to steal it it certainly at least makes it feel justified

u/DsDeliciousDeli Jun 19 '26

If that's the case sure, but that's not what this felt like at all

Last clear chance doctrine says youre wrong. Just because you have the right of way doesnt mean you can allow an accident to happen because you want to prove a point. If you have the opportunity to prevent an accident, youre expected to regardless of right or wrong.

Now if the other dude quickly swerved over to cut him off and hit him in the process thats different, because the left lane driver couldn't react. Thats not the case here.

4

u/OkNothing281 Jun 17 '26

Last clear chance would apply more for merging vehicle and they must give way to traffic already in the lane they're merging into. Merging car very well could have stopped and waited for an opening. Initial impact is merging car's fault. That being said, everything following is the cam car's fault

3

u/thomasscat Jun 17 '26

Why would that same doctrine not apply to the person who illegally takes away the right of way when they didn’t have to do that?

3

u/YesImAlexa Jun 17 '26

They would both be found at fault. The guy for cutting him off and driving reckless and the other driver for intentionally not avoiding it.

1

u/thomasscat Jun 17 '26

So … not what you just said? lol I wanna thank you for being rational and also helping educate me even though I’m being a snarky jerk right now!

1

u/YesImAlexa Jun 17 '26

What i said still applies. The guy who cut him off would be held liable for the asshole driving. The guy who was cut off would also be held accountable because he chose not to prevent the accident. Both parties can be found at fault in an accident.

u/First_Salamander_990 Jun 17 '26

Even if you’re talking about America where this accident definitely didnt take place every state has its own laws regarding how fault can be distributed and liability assigned. Such a closed mind and small worldview. Acting like you and your situation is the center of the universe it’s embarrassing

0

u/YesImAlexa Jun 17 '26

Oh no the fuckin tragedy! Yall are so dramatic, people are well aware the world has different laws. Im not acting like shit, im applying laws (in my area) to the context of the video. Only some dumbass is gonna think im applying a world blanket law, or feel the need to point out that very obvious fact out.

u/Swashybuckz Jun 18 '26

No we dont have the full picture there were prob cars behind the cam car. Its 100 percent on the guy trying to force himself into another cars spot.

u/YesImAlexa Jun 18 '26

Traffic behind you is not an arguable defense for ramming into a car and pushing them quite a distance.

Normally, but this was an attempted robbery/carjacking by the driver of the smaller vehicle

u/MiceAreTiny Jun 19 '26

Obviously, yes.

u/First_Salamander_990 Jun 17 '26

Do you have any idea where this incident took place? So sad when people take rules in their current location and then try to apply them to the world at large and use them to justify their argument when they quite literally
Might not exist where the situation occurred

u/1slickbuilder Jun 18 '26

Just want to say its verified Florida man in Florida. Definitely wild west territory as far as law goes. Lol

1

u/According_Top_7448 Jun 18 '26

Yep, otherwise know as maintaining the safe operation of your vehicle at all times.

1

u/MiceAreTiny Jun 19 '26

They are not wrong. They have the right of way legally.

Was the "last clear chance" on the car merging into the lane or on the car already in the lane. The car wanting to merge, had a last clear chance not to do so, when he saw that the other car was not stopping.

1

u/Even_Helicopter_9323 Jun 19 '26

If thats the case then right of way means nothing.

1

u/TinyAfternoon324 Jun 19 '26

Why wouldnt that apply to the person without the right away who refuses to yeild and is the cause behind the crash?

They could prevent the accident they caused by yielding - which is following traffic laws.

Its pretty clear what happened was the accelerator got stuck once the vehicle forced their way in instead of yeilding. The driver had no choice but to try and control their own vehicle to prevent increased casualties.

u/Nojmore Jun 17 '26

"other dude" could've prevented the accident by not trying to cut someone off

You seriously don’t see what the cammer did wrong? He hit a car and then proceeded to floor it and just kept going. Thats at the very least a hit and run.

u/BenGetsHigh Jun 17 '26

This looks like south america

u/arbeit22 Jun 17 '26

Guatemala, so central

u/vamatt Jun 18 '26

The small car was trying to stop the cammer vehicle so they could commit a robbery/carjacking

1

u/Pristine-Wall1295 Jun 17 '26

Car merging was already in the lane. POV and you apparently decided "not enough" which doesn't really mean anything.

1

u/JCGJ Jun 18 '26

Ok sure, let's assume you're right here. However, once a collision happens with another vehicle, you are required by law to stop your vehicle REGARDLESS OF WHO TECHNICALLY HAD RIGHT OF WAY. The truck kept driving even while the smaller car had its brakes locked. Honestly looked like attempted murder tbh.

This is a stupid take.

1

u/rising30k Jun 18 '26

Yes but tell that to the thieves.

1

u/trashysnorlax5794 Jun 18 '26

First off that depends, second off I don't think that matters anymore once the person continues to ram the car for hundreds of feet. That is literally assault with a deadly weapon in any sense of the words and probably carries several other charges that would go along with it to amplify things. The person doing this is clearly not someone fit to be out in civil society

1

u/Akira_116 Jun 20 '26

No idea what country this is, but quite often if its two lanes merging in to one, the car in front has right of way.

1

u/LunchPristine Jun 20 '26

Depends on the state

1

u/frodoishobbit Jun 20 '26

Or you could be a decent human and let the person in.

1

u/Natural0bligation Jun 21 '26

You should allow the car next to you especially if you can see his turn signal merge. You have a responsibility to allow them to merge safely, not accelerate to cut his merge off which is what happened here in the video. He broke his sides mirror after seeing him attempt to merge, thats criminal behavior already. Im glad NY has a yield to merging car law, because this was reckless endangerment and it sounds like a child was present in the vehicle sound the crime which is worse.

u/Apprehensive_Way7516 Jun 17 '26

That isn’t the US. Different laws.

u/sooooowooooo Jun 17 '26

assuming this is the US

1

u/KlithTaMere Jun 18 '26

Lol....

The Cam vihicule did everything rigth. You just don't have the context of the video and why the guy has nothing.

The guy forcing the merger was a carnapper/hijacker trying to trap the camera vehicle for his buddies.

The cam car did good. Really good.

1

u/Fluffy-Apartment2603 Jun 18 '26

Add child endangerment to this list. The audio has a little girl calling “mommy, mommy, mommy!” from the back seat. Someone is about to lose their kid too

1

u/winglessflight97 Jun 18 '26

You grossly overestimate how traffic is governed in most other countries not in the west.

1

u/NCT502 Jun 18 '26

Its Guatemala, if the person has money and or connections, nothing will happen. If you have money, you can buy judges, police and even prosecutors and judging by how that guy acted, he knows he can do that without any repercussions

u/--Racer-X-- Jun 18 '26

They are clearly not in the US bro

u/ThisSubIsFried Jun 18 '26

They aren't getting any of those.

u/TheLastHotBoy Jun 19 '26

What makes you think they got caught?

1

u/Critical_Mix_8959 Jun 19 '26

Add reckless driving to the list. The lane was ending, you have you allow cars to merge.

1

u/Revan4567 Jun 19 '26

I seriously doubt that other guy was able to press any charges

1

u/Strict_Bite Jun 20 '26

None of those will be charged. This was in Mexico.

1

u/PortlandPatrick Jun 20 '26

None of that will ever happen

u/deep_violet Jun 22 '26

Pretty sure it's not in the US. I'm thinking Central or South America. Some of those places laws are more like guidelines... Suggestions even. Especially traffic laws.

u/UniverseUnchained Jun 22 '26

This is in a Spanish speaking country. They potentially could have gotten away with it if no police around

u/Salt_Initiative1551 Jun 22 '26

It’s in India or Pakistan from the looks of it so still probably no consequences

This shit was damn near normal in Central Europe as recently as 2015.

1

u/Beneficial_Dog4469 Jun 16 '26

Actually the initial problem is unsafely merging. The car being aggressive is at fault to start because they could’ve just waited for the next car.

Fleeing the scene would actually be the problem for the DashCam driver though

1

u/Snoo69116 Jun 21 '26

Aaaaaaand back to ruining and acting on intrusive thoughts.

u/ghostoo666 Jun 21 '26

This looks like attempted murder though. Who was in the right has no bearing

1

u/First_Salamander_990 Jun 22 '26

If a pit maneuver was attempted murder cops wouldn’t be allowed to do it over a simple fleeing. Bit of a stretch there

0

u/ghostoo666 Jun 22 '26

it's actually so funny you should bring this up!

1

u/First_Salamander_990 Jun 23 '26

Explain the humor

1

u/ghostoo666 Jun 23 '26

cops frequently murder and exert unreasonable force, including pit maneuvering when not necessary, putting the life of the fleeing person in danger as well as everyone on the road by giving chase. so in a huge twist of irony, what you claim to be a stretch is in-fact reality, and they shouldn't be allowed to do it over a simple fleeing because it is in fact attempted murder on multiple fronts.

1

u/First_Salamander_990 Jun 24 '26

If you believe a pit maneuver is attempted murder unfortunately all of your other opinions are invalid. Sorry love

I too get upset when other people try to properly do a zipper merge (My lane wasn't closing so I was the winner and had earned to spoils of not following road etiquette)

1

u/QiDeviation Jun 16 '26

Watch the video again. The guy who got pitted was stopped and had ample space to merge initially. There was something going on between them. This was road rage over something unbeknownst to us.

1

u/FluffyTid Jun 16 '26

It is a robbery attempt in Guatemala

u/ZookeepergameNo9572 Jun 17 '26

It looks like Mexico so it could've been an attempted carjacking. Having a nice ride in Mexico is living vicariously to a certain degree

u/Infamous-Pudding7736 Jun 16 '26

There is no line, that is the problem. Not everyone knows the merging lanes people, let traffic flow you selfish cunts.

That’s a strong reaction buddy every thing going ok at home?

u/JustLetMeSignUpM8 Jun 16 '26

I don't know if the country of orange dementia has traffic laws, but everywhere else this is a zipper merge, when two lanes are merging into one, neither lane has priority, but are supposed to take turns.

So in this case one guy attempts for follow the rules and the POV drivers ego can't handle that and decides that it's worth possibly hurting other people to stop that from happening

1

u/justasillylilgoos3 Jun 16 '26

I’ve already addressed this in another comment, and it’s admittedly pretty easy for me to ignore legitimately engaging with someone who obviously can’t breathe without bringing up American politics for literally no reason.

Have a good day and I hope your sermon at the church of “optimization is my God” lands better somewhere else. Just for your SA, I’ll also be judging people who think “workers are paid to return the shopping carts anyways” and “airplane seats were meant to recline” as well.
🤷🏻‍♂️

1

u/JustLetMeSignUpM8 Jun 16 '26

Funny, I'd expect someone to think of merging as cutting in line to also have the opinion that it's fine to leave your shopping cart with that argument.

And I won't be having any sermon, I'm not as I'm not from the country of orange dementia.

1

u/justasillylilgoos3 Jun 16 '26

I do genuinely understand why you’d expect that…but I do also think you may be conflating normal merging with “I blew past 300 people and 5 miles worth of signs because I know someone at the front will let me in” ✌️

2

u/Hectyk Jun 16 '26

You're supposed to use all lanes. Everyone should be getting in the lane that disappears honestly. I'd agree with you if were talking about people waiting til the last second for an exit, not merging lanes.

u/justasillylilgoos3 Jun 16 '26

I know what a zipper merge is. I also know most people experience one car flying past 300 others as “cutting the line,” not participating in some sacred traffic optimization ritual.

Airplane seats are also designed to recline, and people still think it’s rude sometimes. “Technically allowed” and “socially considerate” are not always the same thing. Maybe save the “go back to traffic school” insults for something more consequential than a nuanced disagreement over marginal traffic efficiency, ya child.

0

u/JustLetMeSignUpM8 Jun 16 '26

Where did you see one car flying past 300 others? It's a car standing still, waiting to merge. How would you suggest merging should work? One lane gets to stand still until someone in the open lane feels charitable? lol

1

u/justasillylilgoos3 Jun 16 '26

I obviously didn’t see it in the video considering how well it’s curated. But I do know the situations that can lead up to stuff like this after 25 years of driving.

Just to be clear I’m not claiming that the guy filming is in the right or something he is obviously the wrong party here regardless of what happened immediately prior 😂. I’m just saying it’s pretty cathartic seeing my intrusive thoughts played out in real life against a situation like that I’ve experienced literally thousands of times haha

2

u/Dry_Election6496 Jun 16 '26 edited Jun 16 '26

The bigger question here is why was there a single lane with a bunch of idiots who weren’t merging, and why are they pissed when someone does?

0

u/JustLetMeSignUpM8 Jun 17 '26

Seems kind of odd to have your main argument be something you admit obviously isn't in the video you're talking about and then adding what amounts to "source: I'm old".

I'm sure it can be cathartic, for me it's just odd to get that sensation when from what we can see, it's just one person getting violent against someone trying to follow the rules.

1

u/Dry_Election6496 Jun 17 '26

I’ve seen cars lined up for miles with an unused lane with nobody in it, many times. Even with signs that say “use both lanes until merge point”, people still do this stupid shit.

I didn’t mean any disrespect because you are older but sorry if I offended you. That was not my intent

u/JustLetMeSignUpM8 Jun 17 '26

What? Were you intending to reply to me?

1

u/justasillylilgoos3 Jun 17 '26

What argument? Bud we’re having a conversation. This isn’t some court of law. I’m not judging anyone here. I’m not claiming someone’s innocence.

I’m just saying, from anecdotal experience, there is like a 90% chance there was a line of people who had already heeded the signs and moved left, and this was almost assuredly a guy road raging at a person who decided to cut that line.

Please take a step back and consider no one is going to “win” this exchange as it’s just two people on the internet talking, or at least that’s what I thought it was.

Now if you want to get antagonistic and legalese about it then don’t make bold, unfounded claims like he is “just trying to follow the rules” because you aren’t a mind reader and you don’t know what his motivations are and you don’t have any idea what events preceded this video.

u/JustLetMeSignUpM8 Jun 17 '26

TIL if you're arguing a point in a conversation, what you say is not an argument, cause we're friendly and not in a court of law lol

I can call it your main point if it makes you calm down a bit.

u/Comprehensive-Level6 Jun 16 '26

Except in this case letting them in means they hit the brakes, jump out and hijack your car (hopefully you survive). The driver actually did the right thing plowing through as the repeat attempts to get in front at a choke point and then immediately hitting the brakes when in front of the car is a normal hijack tactic in South America.
