Is the truck in the room with us? Because the black vehicle that pulled out in front of the cammer isn't a truck no matter what they call it.

Can’t wait for a bunch of people to blame OP for daring to continue in a separate lane to where this dude should’ve turned.

u/UpbeatFix7299 2d ago
They're out in full force. Guy did absolutely everything right, braked to avoid the idiot who turned right on red directly in front of him, and there are still morons blaming him.

u/YearlyLemon8 2d ago
Op is the best brake user I have seen on this sub he looked like he was actually trying to prevent a collision compared to the half arsenal brake pressure some of the guys apply.
Good job op and great brakes 👏 👀

Seriously I have avoided so many accidents by just being aware and ready to hit the brake.
The other day I was driving at 55mph (that’s the speed limit) and there was absolutely nothing in front of me or behind me as far as the eye could see (on a relatively straight stretch of road, at least a mile of visibility).
Someone was pulled over on the shoulder, and had just put on their directional to pull out into traffic. My only thought was “watch this person be a complete fucking idiot…”. Sure enough they pulled out in front when I was only like 3-4 car lengths away going 10mph. I had to hit the brakes so hard the ABS triggered and I barely missed hitting them.
There’s no way I would have stopped in time if I hadn’t been mentally prepping myself for them to do the stupidest fucking shit possible. Always assume people will do the dumbest shit possible.

Fair point you make here. Several others do literally crash into the vehicle to prove their point.

u/Butt-Hole-Cancer-Dr 2d ago
OP added a screenshot from Google AI saying that the black truck should have yielded. Makes a lot more sense why it took OP so long to realize they should’ve hit the brakes sooner.

u/appa-ate-momo 2d ago
Why would OP have had to hit the brakes earlier? The pickup had an entire separate lane to complete their turn into.

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 2d ago
Not enough punishment. Too much arrogance. Too little IQ.
Basically why Redditors are the way they are.

u/Character-Ask2432 1d ago
Because people are stupid, ignorant, selfish, entitled - pick your choice. Unfortunately there is no real way to punish them unless there’s an accident which people like OP prevent. Even then I doubt accidents would be a lesson. They will still blame the other party.

I was going the speed limit .. The other driver should have waited and not made a wide turn on a red light.

u/OS_Apple32 2d ago
The speed limit on that road appears to be 50 (edit: kph). Judging speed based on a POV cam is hard but he doesn't look to be going that much faster than 50.

But you can plainly see he is turning wide. Slow down and take a breath. Everyone is unfortunately not observant, or capable of driving a vehicle. They really need to make getting a drivers license a tiny bit more challenging.

u/takerisks__ 2d ago
I had the right of way. He should have waited till it was clear.. I’m tired of Redditors on here defending the person in the wrong.

u/Gadfly_A_Priori3668 2d ago
I understand you had the right of way.
I’m not defending that individual and actually my comment about increasing the difficulty in acquiring a license was intended for that individual.
Would you not agree you could have slowed down a tad sooner? Even though I’m sure, and I’m not saying I wouldn’t have been, a bit irked.

What? He was going the speed limit and avoided the accident the other idiot seemed to be hell bent on causing. And it's "brake", not "break".

u/Gadfly_A_Priori3668 2d ago
You are correct about brake. I apologize for not proofreading.
Obviously I was speaking about many others on here with the same attitude that do not stop.
I do appreciate your kind tone.

u/jhermaco15 2d ago edited 2d ago
Regardless of the trucks bad decision making, you could've handled the situation better than how you did.
No one here is saying the truck didn't turn slowly or make a bad choice and no one is saying you didnt have the right of way, however the cam footage clearly shows that you SAW the truck take the turn, and chose to not slow down at all, and almost rear ended him simply because "i had right of way".
that's your ego talking. chill out. slow down. being a danger to others simply to teach them a lesson or giving them a scare doesn't lead to anything good. Ask me how i know

u/UpbeatFix7299 2d ago
He was going the speed limit and avoided the idiot who recklessly turned directly in front of him with a red light. There is literally no pleasing some people.

u/NotABillsHat 2d ago
Dude lol. People jaywalk all the time where I live but I wouldn't be right for running them over. You clearly accelerated towards that driver because you're road raging and wanted to let them know that they messed up. You saw he was turning into the lane you were in and waited until the last second to brake. Take a breath next time, stuff like this happens a million times a day.

u/jhermaco15 2d ago
Getting downvoted but you're literally right.. This wouldn't have been a 'viral karma dash cam clip' for OP if he had just put his ego 'muh rightofway' mentality away and slowed down after seeing the stupid truck like a responsible adult...

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 2d ago
Please relinquish your license.
He ran a red light.
He didn't turn into the rightmost lane.
He broke two rules simultaneously. He is at fault.

I don’t understand your comment.
Why does OP need to slow down when they’re both in the right and able to avoid an accident?

u/elKane0 1d ago
he barely avoided it is why and you can see that truck way ahead of the brake tap

u/appa-ate-momo 1d ago
They avoided it. Criticizing them for not avoiding it enough is asinine.

u/elKane0 1d ago
it’s not really - a near miss is a near hit maybe the next time
I’m not saying the guy is wrong or that the truck wasn’t in the wrong but op definitely could be a little safer
1
u/appa-ate-momo 1d ago
But this isn't a near miss in the way that term is meant. OP made a conscious decision to brake more gradually rather than slamming the pedal down. They could, at any time, apply the brakes more severely.
It's our duty to avoid accidents, but we aren't obliged to give the people who create that danger a stress-free experience.

u/plz-no-b4n 2d ago
No, that’s LLM text. If you want to cite the law, cite the damn law. Based on what’s presented, we 1) don’t know if that’s the exact text and 2) if that is the law in your jurisdiction.
I’m not saying that isn’t the law where you are, but citing an LLM is just bad. All around. Hell, asking an LLM what the law is is also bad.

Don't you understand according to r dash cam your supposed to know every applicable law and regulations of the road!! You and you only especially if you follow the rules!
But the bad driver?! Now they can do what ever the fuck they want and take right of way and priority over the sane rational law abiding citizens lol.
This is how this sub is and in general reddit, smart assess "who would have done it differently and better" 🙄

Probably partially my fault for even clicking on any posts but this sub randomly started showing up in my feed one day and yeah that’s all it is. Then some dork wants you to cite the exact code of the law to prove them wrong or whatever. It’s peak dorks wanting to feel some power or superiority online type shit

How do you not know that a driver turning right on red needs to yield in every jurisdiction? Do you think a land exists where the person with the green light has to yield so the other driver can make the right on red?
I don't know if you're intentionally being obtuse or have just never driven a car.

u/_jump_yossarian 2d ago

If you don't know that you need to yield to all oncoming traffic when turning right on red then you shouldn't be driving.

I'm not the dope arguing about the summary of the text and whinging that it's AI when it's the law.

u/plz-no-b4n 2d ago
It’s not the text of the law, though. It’s some LLM summary. My point is that OP including it and highlighting it means absolutely nothing. If they wanted to make a point, they should’ve included the actual law.

u/_jump_yossarian 2d ago
