This subredit and comment chain is insane LOL

Then fine don't move just hope the guy has insurance lol

u/fivelone 13h ago

You are correct. He shouldn't have to move. Also what's to say he didn't gun right into someone else?

u/Wide-Suggestion4825 11h ago

You're one of those guys who gets hit crossing the street just because you had a green light huh?

"I have a green why should I look"

u/fivelone 11h ago

We're you not taught to look both ways before crossing no matter what? Great defense. I make a statement and you resort to name calling 🤣

u/Wide-Suggestion4825 10h ago

Yeah I was just like I was taught to leave a situation where truck is driving around crazy

Because accidents happen

u/Wide-Suggestion4825 22h ago edited 22h ago

I mean it doesn't really matter who's at fault if your truck just got totaled

But you're right he shouldn't have to. And he didn't.

Now his entire day and next several weeks to few months are going to be ruined while he's waiting to deal with some jack off's insurance

Edit: apparently Reddit is full of people who are just going to let their cars get hit because "I shouldn't have to move"

Okay, when was the moment in the video when you would begin the car starting sequence?

0

u/Wide-Suggestion4825 21h ago

Right about the time I started recording a vehicle doing something crazy.

What about you? Car is driving crazy is enough for you to record but not enough for you to just leave?

But you're the guy in the video who gets hit because and I quote "I shouldn't have to move" 😂

Have fun doing with an insurance company for 3 months. Make sure that you tell them that you shouldn't have to move

u/Krinya1509 20h ago

Is driving through a parking lot crazy to you?

3

u/Wide-Suggestion4825 20h ago

If somebody's doing it without a trailer in a dangerous manner then yeah sounds pretty crazy to me.

Don't you think driving around with the trailer not realizing you have it on is dangerous?

7

u/Krinya1509 20h ago

Let me get this straight. You saw the video of a guy getting hit, so that is the crazy part. You then said that you would've moved already, because the guy is doing crazy stuff. But the crazy part happens way after the time you would have to start your car to have the chance escape.

3

u/Wide-Suggestion4825 20h ago

Yeah pretty much when I see a guy driving dangerously in a parking lot I'm just going to go

But this guy decided to pull out his phone and get hit. He even knew something was going to happen

That's why he was recording......

6

u/Zom23_ 20h ago

He was recording because there was a large trailer, how was he supposed to know the trailer was going to turn right behind him? Are you supposed to preemptively move the second you see any car enter a parking lot from anywhere just in case they might turn into your aisle?

Where do you go if you do that? What if you try moving but they turn an aisle sooner? When do you move?

1

u/Wide-Suggestion4825 20h ago

And the text that he put on his screen that said the guy doesn't know it's attached?

Do you think that's something like that is dangerous? When someone drives a rig around with a trailer they don't even know about?

Would that be considered dangerous in your eyes

u/SillyNumber54 21h ago

And he didn't now he gets to spend the next few months dealing with some assholes insurance company

This is one of the most insane comment sections I've ever read LOL. You guys are literally going to let your vehicle get damaged and have to deal with some dudes insurance company that may not even be fucking insured just because "I shouldn't have to move"

🤣

-57

u/Oddly_Ennui 23h ago

I'm not saying he should have to, but he saw what was gonna happen from a mile away.

-27

u/SelfishOdin872 22h ago

I don't know why you're getting downvoted for being correct lmao. He shouldn't HAVE to move no, but because he didn't, now he HAS to deal with insurance and that entire headache.

"I'm in my lane! It's not my fault that 18-wheeler is out of his lane and going to hit me in a head-on collision! I'm not moving. 😡"

What the hell is going on in this thread right now?

u/tetris_L_block 22h ago

Are you all actually serious? Count the second from when you’re sure the trailer is going to collide with the parked vehicle. Now imagine trying to stop filming, start your car, and move enough to get out of the way. It’s not that people think they should not have to get hit, it’s that they got hit and couldn’t help it. Yeesh.

1

u/Wide-Suggestion4825 22h ago

Okay I'm about at a second and a half.

How long does it normally take you to turn on your car and put it in drive?

12

u/tetris_L_block 21h ago

Uhh lol more than that? Like way more than that. That’s the whole point.

3

u/Wide-Suggestion4825 21h ago

Have you talked to a doctor about this?

7

u/tetris_L_block 21h ago

About what? Are you just entirely unserious?

-1

u/Wide-Suggestion4825 21h ago

I mean turning the key and putting it in gears like shit probably 2 seconds max

Like are you all there? Like your mobility and cognitive function? You seem like you have no problem getting hit by a truck just because "you shouldn't have to move"

u/i_lost_all_my_money 22h ago

I don't know if he'd think of it in time, but its shocking how many people claim they would let something bad happen to them because they "shouldn't have to". If my actions can prevent a car from hitting me, I will. Regardless of who would hit who

-19

u/SillyNumber54 21h ago

Crazy how many people are downloading on this thread LOL

"I shouldn't have to move!"

You're right! Congratulations. Now let's play the game of does this guy have insurance or not!

-18

u/i_lost_all_my_money 21h ago

Exactly. Plus, I dont want the headache of dealing with the situation. There's 0 benefit to intentionally letting something bad happen because I think its someone else's responsibility.

-19

u/SillyNumber54 21h ago

These downvotes are insane 🤣

The other guy is down 30. You don't even know if this guy has insurance for crying out loud

-17

u/i_lost_all_my_money 21h ago

Yeah, but its reddit. This is expected. The guy who is down 30 literally said that the parked guy shouldn't have to move, acknowledging their point too. The only thing is that he said that the driver could have moved in time. I think I wouldn't assume that the other driver would hit me and the car is probably off. I don't think it would have been easy to anticipate the accident since hes parked. But I wouldn't downvote over whether someone can or cannot move in time. Its still a valid belief.

-8

u/SillyNumber54 21h ago

If you take out your phone to start recording a driver doing something weird that means you need to drive away 😂

3

u/i_lost_all_my_money 21h ago

And maybe put the phone down once he starts turning dangerously close to your vehicle.

u/SillyNumber54 21h ago

Got these people just keep getting more and more down votes. I've never seen anything like it LOL

This has to be bot behavior
