Ok, let me clear this up. If you watch the vid Just before
he looses control the driver holding the camera swerves to the right while speeding up. Then she hits the break as the
trucks rear end is sliding to the right. What happened was
as he went to pass her and change lanes she speeds up and
catches his bumper causing the truck to loose traction and
skid out of control. Cops use this maneuver all the time.
She’s crapping her pants that’s why she’s silent while the
truck is skidding into the ditch and her voice sounds
shaky afterwards. Then she stops to look and laugh at the
wreck she caused and probably to check her car for damage.
If this is not what happened then tell me how the truck
went into a skid. If you listen you can hear her car
accelerate while the camera is pointing up while he is trying
to pass. Simple as that.
I agree. She sped up as he was attempting to get into the left lane while nearing a car in front of him in the R lane causing him to turn harder to the left resulting in the crash.
The fact she laughs and gloats about it belies her intentions. And she’s a liar too. She said she was turning left in half a mile but she’s doing 50 mph and the video is 1:54, that’s nearly two miles. And she’d already been blocking him before starting the video.
She’s a rolling Left lane road block and an aggressive driver evidenced by her acceleration when he’s passing which is illegal in some states and countries.
There was no contact between vehicles, just him skidding out of control. Had there been contact prior to the skid, you'd have heard it, and she'd have been bitching about it. As it is, there's no crashing noise until after you hear him lose traction. Whether or not she sped up is irrelevant, as there was no contact made, and he was already speeding up himself. They are both jerks, but only the driver of the pickup can be cited for the crash. He's the one who was controlling his vehicle, but not his temper.
After reviewing the video again, and seeing further comments here about her claiming to speed up as he tried to pass her, I think she should be cited for impeding traffic, inattentive driving (while filming), and reckless driving on her own, but she still didn't contact his vehicle, and it was his acceleration and desire to cut her off that led to the crash.
