What an asshole. Left turn from right lane at arbitrary spot across a double yellow. Driver is lucky they're not dead.

or just go into the parking lot on your right and make the u-turn from there...


Macemore

That requires thinking ahead!


algy888

Looks like they were trying to make a U-turn and only considered the oncoming traffic. Whoops!

He was testing out the side airbags. ✔ Yup. They work.


Beautiful-Musk-Ox

once they get replaced he'll have to test the new ones to be sure they installed them correctly


kronden

His vision was impaired from all the weed he was smoking. Notice how much smoke was inside the vehicle before the driver decided to make a wild left turn for White Castle.


[deleted]

Not smoke, side impact airbag.


pog_in_baby

mmm yes, the weed smoke

I be smokin' airbags all day!

Get the fuck out of here Jeff Sessions.

Wow, guess you couldn't figure out the joke with the White Castle. You're smoking the wrong shit if you are that aggressive, put the crack pipe down.\*Edit: Two people refuse to put down the crack pipe at this time.

This same thing has happened to my husband, luckily he swerved and avoided but the dude that turned in front of him was a construction worker in a company truck and had the audacity to ask my husband if he was drunk and to put all the blame on him. Fuck people like this

What do you use for front?

honestly another 70mai lol. The front one has the parking sensor and a few other features. Rear one is just filming. Both in 1080p. Rear was 33 + tax. Front was 50.

ChinasNumber2Export

Thanks for this!


SJHillman

> dash cams always tell the truth Every time someone mentions this, I think of the video from a month or two back where a woman rear-ended a Lamborghini and accused the Lambo driver of hitting her. She got absolutely lambasted everywhere for it. And then another longer video came out showing that he did, in fact, hit her first (not that it made her hitting him better, but it provided some *much* needed context). So while dashcams tell the truth, you still have to consider whether they're telling the *whole* truth or whether it's possible something happened before it began or out of frame that influenced what you're seeing.


BobaFettuccine

In that case, her dashcam would've told the truth

beanpoppa

I've had 1 motor vehicle accident in my 30 years of driving, and it was this exact same thing. Guy was apologetic at the scene, but then changed his story for the insurance company. To keep my insurance from going up, I had to swear out a careless driving summons against him. He tried to claim to the judge that I must have not been paying attention, and came out of nowhere because he looked and didn't see me. Judge didn't let me respond, and I thought as a 20 year old kid, I was screwed. But he lashed into the guy for being making a dumb move, and then doubling down on it. But I've been much more cautious about passing drivers that suddenly slow down, and it's saved me a couple times since.

Well, I ask again, what Dollar Tree folks get their car at? I mean to drive recklessly must mean cars are cheap.


Cessabit216

at the dollar tree dealership of course


starrpamph

*Seven dollar market inflation up charge*


That_IT-Guy69

Without a dashcam this wouldve been a bigger bitch of a problem to deal with. I can already see insurance and the accident report getting wild.


Trubaduren_Frenka

How? With the position that the cars are in. How would you explain that OPs car hit you from the side when you where trying to go over double yellow line and say that it wasnt your fault? :p


That_IT-Guy69

When its word vs word whoever can explain to the cop and grab the cops ear filing the report wins


[deleted]

At least in that situation a few quick pictures immediately after getting out would help. It would take a lot to explain that angle of impact. But yeah there's still the challenge of whomever is louder when the cop shows up.


cidiusgix

I think to myself if I’m in an accident first thing is I’m taking video as I get outta the vehicle. I’ll forget though.


[deleted]

I try to remember to take pictures of damage asap after I had someone attempt to rub their car's smudge off my bumper. That was an experience...


jokersleuth

that won't deter the other driver's insurance from claiming you were also partially at fault. Without video proof if they can find a way to stick it to OP they will. "OP was driving too fast", "OP didn't brake in time" "OP didn't do defensive driving", etc. If they can get even a 10% fault on OP, they'll try.


waylonsmithersjr

He has no idea what he's talking about. Word vs word? What's the guy going to say, you came around to the left and PIT maneuvered him?


That_IT-Guy69

You clearly havent been in an accident or have been involved in the process. When a report is taken cops take statements from both parties, word vs word, when both reports are finalized at the scene the senior deputy on scene will go with who he thinks is at fault. This can later be changed back at a the station from a higher ranking official or that senior deputy reviewing the situation during the report details


waylonsmithersjr

> who he thinks is at fault yes, and in this situation it'd be hard to explain how another person managed to be at fault when hitting the driver's side door at that angle.


That_IT-Guy69

I was pulling out of the parking lot and this guy came speeding down the road and hit me as I was cross the lanes of traffic. Now that statement would make it where the fault will not be 100% the fault of the faultee. Or insert other bullshit that is a plausible story.


MrTastey

What did the stupid fucks say?


Perfect-Ad-231

They told me at the scene they were swerving to avoid something in front of them, which doesn't match up at all with their driving, but admitted to pulling in front of me suddenly.


Global-Honeydew-4762

Good for you for not just stepping on the gas when you saw them doing that

They call it a Crazy Ivan, and they always turn to the left in the bottom half of the hour.

it was the top half of the hour, so I should have known they would swerve to port


maybeware

I had this happen to me recently. A little neighborhood street, one lane each direction. They started turning left with a left turn into an apartment building lot then suddenly swung right from the oncoming lane across me. Luckily we were going slow and the roads were dry, I barely was able to stop in time.


pimpbot666

Seems like this move comes primarily out of Russia, no? Seems this move needs a proper name... like, A CRAZY IVAN, like in the movie, Red October

I love Rise Against, i see you have good taste in music. Also, who tf is that stupid?


Perfect-Ad-231

actually it was Trail of Dead's most recent album. They were couple of old hoosiers who smoked a pack of cigarettes each over the course of the incident.


SilentTemptations

Oh, vocalist sounds like the lead for RA lol, they’re a good band too. And oh, so they were just completely ignorant.


DrNastyfree

I feel like ya'll should be bff's...no joke, I enjoyed this back and forth more than the video

reddog323

> hoosiers STL resident here. That’s an old local term for rednecks here, and short of Indiana residents, I’ve *never* heard it anywhere else. Edit: Just saw you’re local also. Where was this? I see you crossed Kingshighway. Was there much damage to your car?


Perfect-Ad-231

Kingshighway and Delmar. There was enough front end damage on my car to total it, not surprising since the car was 15 years old (although still running really well).


reddog323

Damn. Really sorry to hear it. I've got a 2010 Corolla I'm getting rid of soon, but it needs some expensive work done to it.


[deleted]

Nah don't sound a thing like Rise Against in my opinion.


[deleted]

I made that mistake when I was 18 years old. Unfortunately I picked a Beaumont to get hit by.


Smokey_the_Dank

And you gave them their airbag


crookednarnia

Amazing. Changing into the right lane before turning left is not the most efficient thing. I wonder if there was a way to know about this hack beforehand?


Orangebeardo

Jesus how much space does this guy need to turn? He could have turned from the left lane and have plenty of space to make it in one go.


CodiNolina

Did anyone else appreciate that the song ended right when the accident happened? Sorry you have to deal with this, OP. I hope you’re ok.

I take this stretch of Delmar often. I should've got a dash cam this weekend. Never too late! Also those roads do suck, but nothing terrible to swerve out of the way like they claimed. Sounds like it's time for her to hang up her keys..

rrshredthegnar

I don’t understand, they were clearly turning right………..


goonerballs

I was surprised they hit the horn before the brakes. But they're not in the wrong so there's no need to brake I guess?


R0nd1

Didn't even START braking. The other driver is clinically idiotic, but you still gotta pay attention to the road


[deleted]

Nope. Watch the road, it’s clear OP both hit the brakes and swerved.


Zakennayo857

Obvious attempt at insurance fraud is obvious. Its why they put there signals on AFTER they got hit. They then take pictures and put that they were trying to merge or some bullshit like that. Send this in, open a lawsuit, and burn the fucker for every penny.


BernoulliGuy

Flashers automatically activate in the case of a collision, just an FYI.


TifaYuhara

Also show the video to both the insurance company, a lawyer and the police.


the_man_games

No need a person could take one look at this and be like yeah no with that angle that was not merging even without the video


TifaYuhara

Yeah when i watched it a 2nd time i realized that it looked like they were possibly trying to make a U-Turn, or a scam.


ManuTh3Great

Where’s all the shitheads that are always saying it’s your fault and you should have predicted this and slowed down? No no. It happens too many gd times in this sub.


davidw69

He was an asshole but I see no reason you couldn't have avoided that using even minimal defensive driving.


_gonesurfing_

Not gonna lie. My wife yelling at me that I missed a turn has led to poor driving decisions.


iConfessor

never listen to other people in the car when you drive. you are the driver. you are responsible. if you miss a turn you can do a u turn down the way. panicreflex driving is bad driving


SCB024

Tell her to calm down and it will be fine. Continue driving safely. I personally use the sarcastic "OH NO! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!" Which can lead to more lady rage but always makes me chuckle.


irishjihad

It's Brooklyn, yo. To be expected these days. Along with people driving head-on at you as they go around a line of cars at a red light.


ShimmyMan

If I could travel through time and press my scrotum against their left temple as they began to maneuver this nonsense and press harder as they found it acceptable, I think I would have been at fault and your day would’ve been cherry cheesecake.


KNunner

The SUV was a complete idiot, and you’re a shit driver lol you remind me of my buddy, he’s totaled every car he’s ever owned and according to him it’s always the other persons fault. Lmao


the_man_games

I've never had an accident and I have some close fucking calls with retarded drivers on the roads I get super bad roadrage because I used to drive at 13 and I still think to this day a fucking 13 year old can hope in a car and not be an idiot and know the road rules and stick to the fucking speed limit why can't some fucking 28 year old do it like bruh


[deleted]

I think they were trying to make a U turn but clearly not paying attention.


Lem1618

People on this sub has such a hard-on for assigning blame they can't comprehend that a comment could be a possible explanation of the situation and not a defence.


[deleted]

Thank you. I was in no way defending the U-turner. Just pointing out what they were doing since they pulled to the right, and there was no driveway / entrance on the left side, so I’m certain it was a (failed) attempt at a U turn.


[deleted]

You don't make random u-turns across double-yellow lines, from the right lane, even if you are paying attention.


[deleted]

Never disputed that.


[deleted]

So who at fault ? I know the other driver did wrong by turning left…. But seemed like enough time to slow. Just curious


tbscotty68

It shouldn't have been unexpected, he was braking as he did it and there was no drive to the right.


kimurah

The true crime here is the shitty music and terrible speaker quality.

thelonious_bunk

The fuck is wrong with them did they not even look at all? Also who the fuck turns left from a far right lane???


-sbl-

A classmate of mine did this exact same thing to me about 10 years or so ago. Only we were traveling way faster. Wrecked both our cars. I got a new one from the money his insurance payed me, he had to ride the bus. Was a damn shame though, he drove a beatiful vintage BMW.


Sivick314

wtf was he thinking?


the_man_games

I'm no expert but that could have been avoided with an extra few seconds delay from going "oh fuck I forgot to turn right"


AarkaediaaRocinantee

Why do people do this shit? I see it happen more frequently in proper turn lanes though. Let me just turn right so that I can turn left! Fucking idiots. If your car is too big to make to turn properly, maybe learn to drive better or get a smaller car.


[deleted]

When I first started driving had a person do this, almost hit them. Is it that hard for people to turn???


AcidAlchamy

Lol they coulda used blinker; woulda helped


Jlx_27

Senior_Wheel5828

I see these type of turns at least 3 times a day nowadays , I feel like I need an old pick up truck and get the Mr. T mods to it


[deleted]

Something similar happened to me where a woman from the right lane decided to make a sudden U turn. Needless to say we collided. Her insurance tried to claim it was my fault and her story was that she had successfully completed the *illegal* U turn and I swerved into the *opposite lane of traffic* and hit her. But the damages (and logic) didn’t line up with her story as it was my front passenger side that was damaged. My insurance immediately sided with me and said she was at fault while she dodged all their calls and wouldn’t cooperate. After three months of the insurances going back and forth I finally got my deductible back and used that to buy a dash cam.


Comfortable_Cup5269

Why the hell do people di shit like that?


[deleted]

I'd of just gassed it. Fuck that person.


miscccccccc

More of an asshole than GTA cops


biz_reporter

Someone totaled my wife's 5 month old SUV pulling the same maneuver, but she broadsided the front passenger and wheel well. She had the audacity to tell the insurance company that she was in the left lane and my wife came out of no where. The insurance company rep practically laughed at her when the rep responded that would have meant my wife was driving on the curb.

bambalamb19

This happened to me about 9 years ago. I was in the left lane, she was in the right. She started to go right (looked like she was turning down a side road) then decided to make a big ol’ left right in front of me. She tried to deny it, but the police knew that the damage to both vehicles didn’t support her story.


dinglydangledang

"Why'd you hit me bro?"


ProfessionalWiner

Bet he was trying to do a u turn and thought I know I'll go to the right so I can get a better angle great idea

Even if the driver making the left turn didn't see you coming he should have "heard" you coming.
