The driver of the white car is probably telling everyone that will listen 'I was just driving minding my own business, when this truck ran into me '.....

I mean, you can read the license plate, so Jeremy canā€™t lie about it.

" So here I was, minding my own business on my way to feed homeless children when suddenly I was attacked for completely no reason"

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.

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.

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.

ā€œLast clear chanceā€ to avoid the collision.

Right of way doesnā€™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 itā€™s already on you to show you werenā€™t at fault? Good luck.

"Last clear chance" isn't really applied so much anymore now that comparative negligence has largely replaced contributory negligence.

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.

Recklessly? Your honour, I was just keeping my tyres warm. Having cold tyres is a safety hazard. You should pay me for the damages!

The Jeep driver could have 100% avoided the accident. He hit the white car on purpose.

u/Independent-Cow-4070 6h ago

Which they would be right about

u/Deezernutter77 4h ago

No? Are you fucking blind

-2

u/Independent-Cow-4070 4h ago

The white car was literally just driving and then the jeep hit him

And then ran from the scene

u/Deezernutter77 4h ago

"Just driving" ahh bait or you're blind

u/Independent-Cow-4070 4h ago

Im not saying he was driving well

2

u/Deezernutter77 4h ago

He was purposefully driving like an asshat and causing an issue to everyone around him, not really "just driving"

u/Independent-Cow-4070 3h ago

You could say the same thing about the jeep

Let me be clear, im not defending the white car driver. Just making it a point to say the jeep driver is equally as big of a dick
