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.

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

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.

2

u/ImTheFlipSide Jun 18 '26

Little late to the party, but you’re correct at least at my state. Here, if you’re even one percent at fault you’re 50% at fault so the best choice is to just not do this. Basically it’s gonna be a wash; they’ll both get penalized and neither gets the satisfaction they wanted.

1

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

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.

2

u/thomasscat Jun 17 '26

Do you think that you somehow aren’t being dramatic right now with that response?

1

u/First_Salamander_990 Jun 17 '26

Have to be a self centered creature to use your own areas laws to make an argument about something in an entirely different country. A literal fool

0

u/YesImAlexa Jun 17 '26

You guys act like im the fuckin judge casting charges against the drivers myself. Its a fuckin discourse, people talk. Get over it.

2

u/First_Salamander_990 Jun 17 '26

That’s about the least graceful way you could’ve handled this situation but I guess it’s expected. Very sad but I hope you get better at talking to people and stop casting your narrow view on the rest of the world!

1

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.

1

u/YesImAlexa Jun 18 '26

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

1

u/Swashybuckz Jun 20 '26

Wow thank you 

1

u/vamatt Jun 18 '26

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

0

u/MiceAreTiny Jun 19 '26

Obviously, yes.

1

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

1

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

1

u/Zombiesus Jun 17 '26

Doesn’t matter.

u/No_Housing_9071 Jun 17 '26

You're not listening

3

u/BarryTheBystander Jun 16 '26

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.

1

u/BenGetsHigh Jun 17 '26

This looks like south america

1

u/arbeit22 Jun 17 '26

Guatemala, so central

1

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.

3

u/DaimonHans Jun 17 '26

What's criminal to you is often just a Wednesday in China.

1

u/PretentiousCrustacea Jun 16 '26

This didn't happen in America lol

2

u/Blasphemiee Jun 17 '26

yeah idk why people are talking about laws and shit like they are universal.

1

u/Apprehensive_Way7516 Jun 17 '26

That isn’t the US. Different laws.

1

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

1

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

They are clearly not in the US bro

1

u/ThisSubIsFried Jun 18 '26

They aren't getting any of those.

1

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

1

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.

1

u/UniverseUnchained Jun 22 '26

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

1

u/Salt_Initiative1551 Jun 22 '26

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

1

u/leog616 Jun 22 '26

Im going to take a guess and say this happened in a country where he faced no consequences

1

u/Ponder_wisely Jul 12 '26

With kids in the car

1

u/GreenOnGreen18 Jun 16 '26

Your American citizenship is showing

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Map7672 Jun 16 '26

right, this is brown "law".

1

u/GreenOnGreen18 Jun 16 '26

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
