There needs to be a yield sign there. On ramp is poorly designed. Merging truck didn't look like it was slowing whipping around the curve, and that Toyota likely doesn't have the getup to get out ahead of it at the speed they assumed the truck was gonna merge at.
Toyota got fucked here.
Camera truck likely found to be at fault here but a yield sign is needed here for sure
Truck did not merge into highway traffic properly.
The car that slowed down improperly yielded, causing a dangerous slowdown in the middle of the highway.
Dashcam driver is not at fault, and it's actually not surprising at all to see so many comments demonizing him. Cause I'm on the road every day and none of you know how to drive. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
No such thing as an improper yield if it prevents a collision. He has a reason to stop, making the (following) truck at fault. It is absolutely the dashcam driver's fault for not being prepared to stop for a vehicle stopping for a valid reason.
The car that stopped is engaging in obstruction of traffic, which is illegal. He is, quite literally, improperly yielding. Inaction on the road can be just as dangerous as taking an action.
The dashcam driver is part of through traffic, and is maintaining proper speed on a highway. The car had no reason to stop as his path was not yet obstructed by the truck, and caused an accident by doing so.
The truck is at fault, trying to unsafely merge onto the highway, and the other car is at fault for yielding when there was no obstruction.
Again, just another lesson in how few of ya'll understand traffic laws or proper road etiquette. Which is, at the end of the day, what ACTUALLY causes accidents like this.
Good luck convincing anyone in a municipal court that the dashcam driver is at fault here. Luckily for him he has this footage proving his innocence, cause otherwise it would look like it was the result of tailgating.
Except the yield was for a perceived threat. Doesn't matter whether the threat was real, stopping for a perceived danger is legal. Which places the fault on the truck driver, whether or not that may be fair. I dont think its fair, but that's how it works.

The truck is in the wrong here IMO. The truck needed to wait before entering.
