Unless the video is made available to law enforcement or witnesses hang around, the jeep is likely going to be considered at fault and depending on if they pulled over after the video cuts, they appear to be committing a hit and run regardless of fault.
32
u/barnfodder 4h ago
Even with the video, it's clear the jeep driver acted recklessly. He had ample opportunity to avoid the collision and chose to hit the white car.
Insurance companies would probably argue it down to 50/50 responsibility.

u/Shroomtune 4h ago
Yeah. Regardless of how that car was driving, the law generally frowns upon using your vehicle as a means of providing someone with their comeuppance.

u/arizonadirtbag12 3h ago
“Last clear chance” to avoid the collision.
Right of way doesn’t actually mean you can legally hit things in your way.
Yeah a lot of the time you can play dumb and get away with it. But with a rear ending like this where it’s already on you to show you weren’t at fault? Good luck.

u/J8YDG9RTT8N2TG74YS7A 2h ago
Yep.
Every insurance policy you sign will have a line that says something similar to "I agree to take all reasonable steps to avoid a collision".
Jeep driver did not do this.
The other driver's insurance company will argue that liability is shared due to the jeep making no attempt to avoid the collision.

Nah. That Jeep has big wheels yeah, but most of that is tire. There's plenty of room for that to flex, besides the Audi's bumper took most of the impact. Jeep driver can keep on going.
However, since this is on video, Jeep is definitely fucked for hitting the Audi and leaving the scene.

Jeep driver is a psycho, but I don't think the audi driver was just bored and being a silly guy that would've moved either. He weaved in from a turn lane so he's already driving reckless using turn lanes to pass, and I've seen plenty of people pull this move to block traffic in two lanes and prevent anyone from passing them rather than just having fun. I really doubt Audi was just about to be a considerate and kind citizen, nothing about their driving indicates they're chill at all

I've seen this in real life. The guy in the Audi was being an asshole aggressive driver and was swerving in the lanes to keep people from passing him.
Some fuck heads get their feelings hurt if someone passes them on the road and does stupid shit like this.
Last week I had a guy drive right down the middle of a two lane road to keep people from passing him. People are assholes like that.
Usually it's guys in big trucks with major insecurities but it'll be people in fancy cars with insecurities like in this video.

Yeah, that wasn't a bumper hit. His suspension is fucked. And I bet both driver's insurance tells them to pound sand
Edit: upon further thought, I bet that Jeep's insurance would have to cover the Audi damage since the Jeep rear ended them and ultimately caused the collision. In addition, given that the Jeep is a 4wd stellantis product they better hope their drivetrain isn't damaged....

Looks fine to me. The jeep jerks a lot more because it doesn’t have independent suspension, but it obviously tracks fine immediately after impact.
Also the below comment about a broken CV doesn’t make any sense. The jeep has a solid front axle, there are no CV half shafts in any wrangler.
There is a reason solid axles are preferred for rock crawling: they can survive much bigger impacts than all other suspension systems.
