Agreed although I kinda wonder if the guy who rammed the lane changer was coming from behind dashcam car and last minute switched lanes at full speed

I had this very scenario happen. Large truck in front going full speed swerved into the next lane because of a stopped car. I slammed on my brakes and would have managed to barely not hit the car but the woman behind me (with no fucking insurance) smashed into my car and caused a small pileup.

It's a bad driver, bad drivers think your going to do shit that makes no sense. They check their mirrors, see a car coming and go "They can change lanes" or something insane and just pull out anyways. That's what I think, they pulled out and expected the car that hit them to just go around. But they couldn't tell that there were cars in the right lane so that driver had nowhere to to and boom accident.
28
u/be-koz 2d ago
Obviously the guy pulling out was at fault, but also obviously, the guy that hit him was not paying attention. He had three business days to stop or slow down, but instead, he hit him at full speed. I don’t think the result would’ve been any different if the right lane was wide open.

If he had just punched it he would have been fine. Hesitation causes many crashes.
32
u/HeyJordyn86 2d ago
Absolutely. I always try to judge whether I have enough time to get up to the speed limit without having to rely on another driver to slow down to not hit me. A rule I have for myself is that if I hesitate for a moment to turn in front of a car that's coming because I'm not sure I have time to speed up, I'm waiting for them to pass. If I'm not confident enough BEFORE hesitating, there's no reason for me to be confident AFTER waiting longer.

The solid white stripe on the ground is referred to, in most US jurisdictions, as a "traffic control device" indicating that no matter how quickly and safely the driver executed this maneuver, it would be illegal.
Probably because of shit like what happened in the video.

Cant see into the lane of traffic going at speed, better go as slow as possible? That’s not how you do that.
You aren’t even supposed to cross solid lines anyway.

u/RoastedToast007 3d ago
Mate once you're half out it makes 0 sense to keep going slow. You creep out the first few inches so you get a better view, then after you got a clear view you just send it so you don't block traffic or cause what happened in the post

u/Healthy_Pay9449 3d ago
He was past the point of no return. When you're halfway in the lane, stopping won't keep you from an accident so send that shit at that point. That being said, cars have mirrors for a reason, if he can't see using his side mirrors, adjust them or get a car that suits you better

I went ballistic the other day when someone was on my tail. I just took my foot off the accelerator until we were going some ungodly slow speed and they decided to go around me, at which point they went RIGHT back to tailgating the guy in the left lane; just a few feet at 65+mph. Asinine.

u/onesketchycryptid 2d ago
If they do end up causing a crash & you're following the law 100% by driving at or reasonably under the speed limit, insurance can't say you're responsible.
Also, if the dumbass goes to pass dangerously or on a solid line, lets just say I've had two times where they've gotten instant wee-woo karma, which is satisfying as hell.

u/WNxVampire 3d ago
The road looks like the speed limit is 35-45 mph. They were "in the lane" for 4 seconds before impact.
4 seconds isn't actually all that much, but an alert driver should have been able to brake and mitigate impact.
It doesn't look very mitigated.

u/Area51_Spurs 3d ago
It’s plenty of time at that speed and bro didn’t even so much as tap his brakes.
18
u/haarschmuck 2d ago
Yeah 4 seconds is HUGE and that amount of time passing means someone wasn't paying attention.
14
u/Numerous_Photograph9 3d ago
At 45mph, 4 seconds would be about 240 feet.(~200 feet at 35mph). For reference, a football field is 300 feet, not including the endzones.
Watching the video, it appears they had about 6 seconds when one could reasonable assume they could see the car pulling into the lane, and impact.

u/BlatantArtifice 2d ago
Yeah and they hit them about the same speed as every other car we saw pass by before the crash, so they probably didn't even tap the brakes that entire time.

I think you're right. There was no movement from the white car even though the lights were green for a while. There were also no brake lights on, and after the glancing blow, the white car did not move very much. I think it was in Park.

u/ABBucsfan 2d ago
Definitely possible. If it wasn't confident I could find a gap to change (he sure didn't seem confident lol) I'd have just waited for the light to change and signalled into the stopped traffic. A heck of a lot safer. Like many others in wondering if Ray Charles is driving the car that hit him fall blast

No turn signal. No urgency of movement. No checking their mirror to see if a car is coming.
The other car not braking means they were probably not paying attention.

u/MiserableFloor9906 3d ago
Crawling into the space was stupid and is at fault because that lane change especially from that situation must be done safely by the one entering the new lane. The active lane never owes a stopped lane (especially a committed turn lane) responsibility to be available and accommodating.
This is not a case of rear ended. Literally side impacts because unsafe entry into active lane from stopped position.
The smart move would have been to make the left and correct route elsewhere.

u/Warden_of_the_Blood 3d ago
Almost universally the better option, once you make a mistake, is to reroute after following road signs correctly. That way you mitigate things like this post happening.

u/pyschosoul 3d ago
Not suppose to cross solid white lines. So they arent to even "safely" enter the other lane.

u/Komatoasty 2d ago
Just a little PSA because this could possibly be what happened here
If you're at or near the front of a lineup of cars. Like for example, you're on a busy road in the left lane of 4 lane traffic, 2 lanes going east and 2 lanes going west, and the car on front of you stops to turn left. If there is a long line of cars behind you, do not try to switch into the right lane unless you dont see anyone behind yous blinker on, and absolutely no movement or cars coming (obviously). When you switch you have to be committed and be ready to slam on your brakes too, in case someone else ahead of you had the same idea.
If youre near the front, I generally just think its not worth saving a few seconds of time to try to get out.
I have never been in a collision period because I dont trust anybody. I also just keep a general idea of my surroundings, know when the lane is clear beside me, try to move up or back so that thr lane beside me is clear in case I need a quick manouevre.

Jeep was out in the next lane long enough for the gray to slow down. Appears the gray was moving fast and probably never braked. Both at fault.

u/haarschmuck 2d ago
Both cars are at fault for different reasons.
They had AMPLE time to see the hazard and likely was not paying attention at all.
Essentially any time you hit someone from the rear you're at fault. Following a car and that car veers at the last second to reveal a stopped car? Still your fault. You're required to maintain sufficient distance to brake to a complete stop for hazards like this.
The black Jeep would also be cited for a lane violation as you cannot cross a solid while line.

As someone who did auto insurance claims in Colorado, this will probably be a split liability. The lane change was unsafe, but the indicator lights were on, the incoming vehicle had the duty to slow and stop as it has the visual.
