So much wrong in that clip on both sides. But I don't think the cammer wants to make an issue of it, because then he'd have to explain why he was up against his governor trying (and failing) to pass in a 45mph zone. Completely unnecessary.

That 'gotta be first' mentality plays a big part in how unsafe things are out here.

 

Are you guys watching the same video as I am? The signs indicate that the left lane is closed but at the last second, it's the right lane that's shut down. That's why the other truck comes over.

maybe I need new glasses so I can see what everyone else is seeing...

 

Thank you Sir!
I was gettin' ready to go back to bed...

 

Ya guess I need glasses I didn't see that.

 

I seen it.

 

I didn't notice the signs...I watched the video twice on my phone... it displays very small.
But it doesn't really matter IMO. The truck in the right lane had absolutely no excuse for changing lanes when he did. There's no sign that says Merge Now Even If It Means Hitting Someone.

 

The signage shows left lane ending..but it is the right lane that ends up ending. Still no excuse for not backing out of it by either party.

 

Didn't see a 45 mph sign...the video was about one square inch on my phone. Don't know how fast he was going either.
I do know you can't merge left into space occupied by another vehicle. Whatever else anyone may have been doing wrong before the collision, the collision was caused by that action by the guy on the right. Who then took off, let's not forget. HE hit, HE ran.

 

I still can't understand why the OP is STILL trying to pass coming into a work zone when the signs were indicating HIS lane was closed, he had all the time in the world to just BACK OFF
This was definetely PREVENTABLE
I'd love to hear what the guy in the other truck is saying..."WTF is this guy doing?!?!"

 

I agree fault but on all three sides.
I’ve gotten to where I don’t even like another truck sitting next to me. Out in the open road even. Even a car. Just don’t like it.
I’ll approach with my blinker on. Nobody let me in? I just slow down. I’ll stop in the freeway if I have to. That’s how all those jam ups in traffic happening. People not letting others merge.
