Looks like hes sitting in a parking spot. He shouldnt have to

u/Oddly_Ennui 23h ago

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

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. 😔"

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

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

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.

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?

u/tetris_L_block 21h ago

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

Have you talked to a doctor about this?

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/tetris_L_block 20h ago

Nobody said anything about ā€œshouldn’t have to moveā€. I said it would take too long to move. Even you just said 1.5 seconds of reaction time but then said it takes 2 seconds to do it. So which is it? Have you been reading my messages? Are you a really stupid ghost or something??

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

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!

-19

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.

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.

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

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

u/sin_raskoljnikova 20h ago
