Doesn't camaro come with a steering? That guy couldn't keep it in the lane
I am surprised some believe rig had something to do it. I guess they believe he should have slowed down after seeing camaro driver was behaving like a fish out of the pond and allowed him to overtake from right! He/she was driving as he should have and remember they can't slow down or speed up like a car. The actual game was between pickup driver and camaro driver. And for some reason I believe it wouldn't have been so bad had camaro dropped that BS lane change where camaro driver wanted to push the pick up truck out of the lane (and almost collided) and then drop the idea of tailgating. I do not like pickup drivers in general but there is nothing wrong he did until he decided to play games with him but even after that major blame goes to that nut driver.
This is why you shouldn't use turn signals. If the Camaro driver had just moved over, the truck would have been mad but wouldn't have had a chance to speed up to block him out.
Although, there were several better spots the Camaro driver could have used to pass on the shoulder.
The Camaro lacked space to change lanes. There was a vehicle in front of the pickup truck when the driver in the Camaro attempt to squeeze in. The driver in the pickup failed to diffuse the situation by refusing to move over when given the opportunity, resulting in both drivers along with the driver in the rig crashing into each other.
Drivers don't get to force themselves into traffic because they did not scan the road ahead. Not tailgating allows drivers to do just that. The driver in the Camaro had no idea what was going on. The Camaro even ran up behind a trucker carrying fuel before getting behind the pickup truck.
Not sure why people are calling the rig driver and the camera car idiots - they did not do anything. The camera guy got way closer than I would have after seen that behavior, but he didn;t actually do anything wrong.
It's very clear that both the truck and the camaro are at fault, and both should lose their licenses for at least 1 year. driving on a concrete road in 2+ ton metal death traps at 70mph is not the time to play games or test who has the bigger balls. if some moron is driving aggressively, let him pass. your pride may be hurt for 10 seconds, but who cares? you don't know the aggressor, or anyone else on the road, and you will likely never see any of them ever again...so just get over it and drive safely. this was so avoidable it makes me cringe.
In case nobody noticed there was a car right in front of the pickup when Bozo tried to squeeze in. I know that would **** me off and no way the Camaro gets past me. I slow down for tailgaters just as he did,
In my book the Camaro guy was guilty of stupidity and the pickup guy was guilty of malice, and I can't see where the semi-truck driving did anything wrong whatsoever.
If someone behind you in the left lane wants to pass, move over and let them by. How do you know they are not on their way to the hospital or some other emergency?

And you saw what the outcome of that can be. Do you think the pickup driver is feeling so smug now? You would rather stand your ground and be involved in a crash like this than to let the **** get past you?
I don't know if anyone was injured in this case but when cars collide like this it is a function of physics not fault that determines who gets injured or killed.
Camaro driver is guilty on several counts. The camera recording nails driver with wreckless driving, failure to yield right of way, an inspection ticket for having a light out and finally causing an accident and endangering lives. Probably talking on the phone or texting as well. The idiot with the camera could have been a participant; let's hope his recording turns up in court.
FYI folks, the Camaro driver was drunk and blew a 0.19 BAC.
WHAT a surprise!
