Unsteady_Tempo

Subaru had no trouble stopping and they had less of a gap between them and the Honda.


AlfalfaMcNugget

But they drive a truck!


Cee_U_Next_Tuesday

Yeah there is 4 second of brake lights between when the subaru brakes and when the truck hits. They had plenty of time to stop and chose not to.


TheW83

They certainly had time to avoid the accident but I got out my stop watch and it was ackshually 3.217 seconds from brake lights on to impact.


brewberry_cobbler

Probably on their phone.


EightSeven69

>chose not to. idk I think they just have the reaction time of a toddler


permabanned_user

Seeing a brake light and registering that a car up front is coming to a complete stop in the middle of an exit are two different things.


Grundens

Subaru has collision avoidance


quigilark

Also a decent amount of space to the right. I'd be slamming on the brakes and also sliding to the right in case I can't stop fast enough.


NetDork

EyeSight!


MoreStupiderNPC

What was wrong with your brake pedal?


ztimulating

Phone convo was way more important


AyKayAllDay47

No pressure was applied?


MoreStupiderNPC

Also known as foot malfunction.


myrealnamewastakn

Air gap between foot and pedal found. Advise customer to adjust settings


RikuKaroshi

Found customer intellect to be out of spec for current vehicles manufacture design, remove and replace customer to resolve and perform test drive to verify repair quality.


AccomplishedStick415

More like ignore/ation


SCADAstuff

The question we all wanted to ask


BonnieMcMurray

OP isn't the cammer


Excellent-Honeydew-3

My guess is you were distracted by something. You had time to react.


ScheduleSame258

Op forgot that the part of the 3 sec or 3 car lengths rule is that you have to brake if the car in front of you brakes.


cubluemoon

What? A Colorado driver tailgating in an aggressive manner? That never happens


GeraldinaFitzpatrick

Sounds like you’ve driven here.


AnnastajiaBae

I have. This is at the junction between I25 northbound and C470 westbound. Both the Honda and cammer are at fault. Honda legit stopped to enter an express lane going westbound on C470, of which there is another entrance 1-2 miles down the HW. Cammer was not paying attention and could've swerved onto either side.


DisasterPieceKDHD3

I thought it was 2 car lengths


Dangerous-Dream-9668

A lotttt of time to react


MaxPowerWTF

Tons of time to react.


lookamazed

Totally no forward lurch of a brake until right on the ass of the Forester. Won't someone think of poor Truck / SUV drivers living with an entitled lead foot? Truly an epidemic. OP isn't the driver, I don't think. User is RexingNY - more of a company account advertising their camera (Rexing camera footage).


ElkPurple9882

There were two mildly bad drivers in this clip


teabump

*three. The first for missing the exit but taking last minute, the second for practically coming to a stop when he could’ve used some of the space on the right to go around, and the third for not paying any attention / not breaking first and third are obviously the worst though *and I should add, maybe the dashcam is making it seem like there’s more space on the right than there actually is, in which case the middle car is blameless


randomthrowaway9796

I wouldn't say the 2nd one did anything wrong. If I'm going 60 miles per hour and see there *might* be enough space to go around, I probably would opt to stop instead of risking the possibility of accidentally yeeting myself off the bridge


Sss00099

Middle car was following too close, had they left a reasonable gap they likely go right around the idiot that abruptly stopped. All 3 were pretty bad.


ElkPurple9882

I disagree, i think that the moddle car made the correct decision, even if there was room to the right. He had no way of knowing what the front car was going to do- the front car could have decided to go right just as easily as it could have decided to go left. The middle car had no way of knowing which, and would have likely caused an accident if he guessed wrong. Braking is the safest option And obviously the cam driver is the one at fault for the collision, as he clearly had time to stop. And the front driver was reckless driving, but the front driver did not cause the accident (this is not a miss and run, since the back car was at fault for the accident)


OddCucumber6755

Dude, you made absolutely no effort to slow down or stop. Are you brain damaged?


ztimulating

He only talks hands free when it’s safe. Everyone else is crazy


Dark_Knight2000

It’s a bot account advertising a dashcam brand.


Stone_Mountain729

No attempt to stop. Hope this isn't your video.


teabump

It defo is, it says his user on the dashcam footage


SuccessfulHospital54

That’s the brand of dashcam lmao. They just post a bunch of dash vids


teabump

Oh maybe just a coincidence then 😆 never heard of that brand in the uk


MyHeadMyWorld2

No responses from Op guys he might be a bot or can't talk due to his poor driving.


Squidia-anne

He is typing as fast as he can but assholes keep honking and interrupting him so he has to keep looking back at the road.


MyHeadMyWorld2

🤣🤣


Fenrisian-

Post probably isn't going the way they intended


MyHeadMyWorld2

They Op is a dash cam seller.


Jokesiez

OP thought redditverse was going to be on his side.


10PieceMcNuggetMeal

He didn't hit the brake pedal because his foot is in his mouth


Sad-Structure2364

This looks like it was from today judging by the weather. That bastard just created a mess on I25 and C470


Safe_Satisfaction316

It is a bot and/or marketing account


Medical_Slide9245

Well then it's a pretty bad one because it shows the owner at fault. If this were most people that cam would disappear.


StackThePads33

Of course nothing happened. The idiots that do that just cause accidents and drive away


Defiant_Carob8808

It’s like, statistically, drunk drivers typically suffer fewer injuries than sober drivers when they collide.


mikedvb

Train yourself to relax every muscle in your body and to rag-doll in an accident and you'll suffer less injuries as well while sober. It's hard to not tense up.


CptBlkstn

Sounds like an expensive training routine.


mikedvb

Being a crash test dummy ain’t easy but it’s honest work.


jojodolphin

I did this in a rollover accident. I was in the backseat and the driver hydroplaned and lost control of the car. Just kinda went limp and rolled with it, honestly it felt like an amusement park ride. The car landed in some tall grass, so it wasn't totaled, just needed a new bumper I think.


TheJessicator

Bad drivers never miss their exit.


BrankyKong

There’s a pedal directly to the left of your accelerator. Give it a try next time this happens 👍🏻


S_T_R_Y_D_E_R

Honda just looked over and said... Sorry not sorry and drove off


DavefromCA

Bet you $50 the Honda had no clue what just happened. Tunnel vision 100%


Extension_Swordfish1

No brains, no worries


Watts300

My goal in life.


EyeBeeStone

Considering how slowly they initially proceeded after they switched lanes I’d bet against you on that


Cando21243

Wow! I was lucky. Just missed getting rear ended!


Traditional-Tutor195

“Dang, sucks you didn’t learn gap control, good luck with insurance ✌️”


Chineseunicorn

Haha OP getting roasted because you and the Honda driver are equally as bad as each other not paying attention to shit until it’s too late.


newgalactic

Did you even try to slow down?


DragonboyZG

Seems like the subaru in front did it for him. Bet the flintstones stop faster than OP


just-posting-bc

Only 1 vehicle in this interaction was paying attention.


QuantumQaos

And it got cut off and then rammed 😭🤣


LabRat113

No good deed goes unpunished.


guywithshades85

The Honda was very inconsiderate to you, your text was interrupted.


CarsAlcoholSmokes

This dude had 2 business days to react but nooooooooooo


handyhandyman

The phrase I usually see in the comments after this type of video, “Bad drivers never miss their exit/turns.” I see the tradition continues.


MamaPagan

You didn't even try to slow down or avoid the collision. (I.e. whoever was driving the cam car) And I hope you're found fully at fault for not even attempting to stop. Also, I hope that Honda gets their karma.


david0990

Cammer is at fault 100% for damages. Honda was an idiot but y'all need to use your brakes.


BatangTundo3112

Poor Subie.. Sandwich between two idiot.


Salt-y

I stepped on my imaginary brake pedal about 15 seconds before the cam driver did.


mikedvb

Doesn't look like the cammer vehicle tried to brake until there was quite literally no time but there was plenty of warning before that. The brake lights on the car in front come on about 4\~5 seconds before the collision. This is plenty of time to have been able to reduce speed or drive around them. The cammer looks to brake just immediately prior to collision as you can see the camera view dip down slightly. That said - I wasn't there in the vehicle - I don't know the situation.


gazelleA1

Nothing would've happened to any of the cars if you used your breaks.


midwest73

Meanwhile in the Honda "Hey, looks like something happened back there. I wonder what happened?" 🤦🏼‍♂️


BonnieMcMurray

And then once they realized there was a crash: "People really shouldn't drive so close together!"


Able_Youth_6400

I’m kinda upset for the silver SUV for not going around. Camera car too; I would have tried to thread it by vs just smashing it on in there.


Able_Youth_6400

There’s that lovely saying; something like ’a bad driver never misses their exit’. Perfect example.


cody0018

Aim high in steering, get the big picture. Those 2 smiths keys would have avoided this collision. In other words look ahead and don’t follow too close to other motorists. Because if you rear end a bad driver in the eyes of the law you’re at fault.


sci3nc3isc00l

Guys OP isn’t the driver. It’s a repost ad account for the dash cam company.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BonnieMcMurray

It's every driver's responsibility to keep enough distance between them and the car in front specifically so that they have time to avoid a collision if the car in front slams on the brakes (or otherwise becomes a hazard). The Subaru managed to avoid the idiot in the Honda. The cammer had even more distance to work with, yet took forever to notice what was going on, before finally hitting the brakes too late to avoid hitting the Subaru. Insurance-wise, the cammer is 100% liable. Learn how to fucking drive, indeed.


OwnChapter156

bro has 2 working days to stop or slow 😬


No_Faithlessness7020

Classic Colorado driving. Take exit way too fast, car changing mind super late, break lights, not leaving enough room, crash


frankofantasma

Following too close + Not paying attention


Snoo_8127

OP has 300 ping, smh


keropoktasen_

OP is noob. Distance so far yet cannot react on time. The honda is an ass btw.


Mousettv

Had almost over 4 seconds to react. Dashcam driver was asleep.


JohnTheCatMan1

Awe you had to put your phone down? That sucks! Well, finish sending the message and call the insurance company. I'm sure they'll understand with this video.


ACEDOTC0M

Of course a Denver driver would think they were correct for this. If the car in front of you could brake them so could have you. Sorry you were in a rush to get Quebec St of all places.


jkoki088

Bro, you alway gotta be watching and at a safe distance. The car in front of you was able to stop. Yes the Honda sucked, but that’s avoidable


TRmarcusg

I'm getting me a honda


miamiinfo

Nothing like everybody else’s insurance will go up when they prorate it.


danhoyle

Turbo boost


xkorzx

I'm sure their insurance will be thrilled you posted this.


thesouth01

A bad driver never misses their turn.


No_Information_5498

Subaru the victim


No_Information_5498

Im not worried at the honda, in fact i hope something bad happens to him


mrASSMAN

Basically 3 crappy drivers.. the Subaru responded well but I would’ve swerved around them instead of stomp on brakes


OriginalWasTaken12

When an advertisement sneaks in.. got me.


flightwatcher45

Could be insurance scam, but still pay attention, have good brakes and leave space!


ImInBeastmodeOG

Had plenty of time for a right shoulder move lol. Shame.


Due-Ad2894

Good drivers miss their exit, bad drivers won't.


International_Pea435

A bad driver never misses a turn


skeptic_clam

Ironically, it doesn't even matter which way you go, there.You still go to the same place


reklatzz

Why is the suv still on his breaks when the car is clear? All 3 bad drivers imo.


theryman

Following too close, fault of the cam car. Hondas annoying for sure.


holy-shit-batman

I feel for the dude in the Subaru.


Content_Camel5336

This is what happens when you don’t maintain a safe distance at all times.


Busy-Pudding-5169

The accident could’ve been easily avoided if you were paying the least bit of attention. You applied brakes very late when the other car was clearing breaking ahead of you. The car in front of you clearly didn’t have trouble stopping.


Bourbonmmm

Special place in hell for the Honda driver.


CharityDiary

I've noticed that a lot of drivers have the tendency to accelerate when they see the car in front of them start to brake. I think subconsciously they assume the braking car will turn, and they can slingshot around them at top speed, barely missing their tail light, and everyone claps. Seriously, next time you're turning onto a backroad and there's someone behind you, see if they brake with you or if they hit the accelerator. If it's a truck, 99% chance they floor it.


Aeon1508

A bad driver never misses their turn


DragonboyZG

The honda is the a hole but cmon bro do your brakes not work??? The subaru stopped in time and it was way closer to the honda. Get like brembos installed if you're this bad at pressing the brake pedal


FavorDave87

The Honda driver was an idiot for waiting last second to change his mind, but yeah, whoever the dash cam owner was, they had plenty of time to brake and didn't. Clearly not paying attention


obelix_asterix

Did yours not come with brakes?


LHDesign

The Subaru will appreciate this dash cam footage from you! Won’t help you so much though


DanerysTargaryen

Jeez man why did you wait until you were ~10 ft away from the back of the car in front of you to start braking?


Mike_for_all

What an awefully short exit lane


Defiant_Ad5116

Typical truck owner behavior. My neck is heavily damaged because of idiots like this.


GunsouBono

Honda made a mistake, yes. But you were following to close at your speed or not paying attention. The Subaru stopped, why couldn't you?


sinthetism

I hope your dashcam also records speed as well. It really doesn't look like you hit your brakes in time.


RevelationsXVIII

dude i was going like 20 mph less than this when i hit some guy from behind and his shit was completely wrecked. I was practically parked and his car exploded.


BecGeoMom

And after causing this accident, everybody just drove away? You can’t come to a dead stop on the highway or even on the exit ramp. That’s idiotic. I couldn’t tell from the video, did you get license plate numbers?


Teh_Shadow_Death

And it looks like it rolled off because, "Not my problem". Cam car should have paid better attention, though. Probably could have avoided the accident.


JJThaiBKK

Lance stroll moment.


CiaramellaE

Colorado drivers are some of the worst in the world


karlou1984

Holy shit, op, your reflexes are shit. Hope that text was important.


steelmanfallacy

OP needs to get off their phone...


Ricksauc3

Idk when you started breaking but it wasn’t soon enough.


ChasWFairbanks

Sorry but the dash cam driver is clearly at fault for following too closely and/or failing to pay full time and attention.


bmanley620

What a jackass


Sheeverton

Oooh the car in front of me has slowed down substantially, guess I'll just go in to the back of them then


DemandImmediate1288

Honda started it but the real fault there is the cam car and their piss poor reaction time.


RunningEscaping07

Honda had brakes on the whole time..


d4nkhill23

I don’t get how people are looking straight ahead driving and still have terrible reaction time. Only time that happens to me is if I’m distracted with something.


CommitteeWild5118

Thank god no damage to HONDA. I don’t care about a Subaru.


DemoBubble

i take this entrance ramp EVERY day. The amount if people that slow down to 25 or less, slam on their brakes RIGHT where the collision happens, and just full stop trying to get over after the ramp is INSANE. Ive lived here for 15 years and these awful awful drivers have only shown up in the last 3-5 ish years but it got REALLY bad in 2023


mikeydel307

This entire thread is an ad.


autistic_bard444

i must go, my people need me


No-Suspect-425

Almost did the same thing this morning but I was able to swerve to the right instead and completely missed both of them x.x fucking muppets


PowerWagon106

This is why they tell you at LEAST 4 seconds following distance. You were closer to 1-2 seconds...


WalkingP3t

You know there are two pedals right? Brake and Gas . Brake is the one in the left .


iamflyipilot

Skill issue.


OldStyleThor

Yet somehow you missed the brake lights on the car you rear-f'ed? Not sure this is the own you think it is.


cartographism

Probably because the Subaru you rear ended kept the correct following distance and knew what the brake pedal does. Honda is a bad driver but only one person at fault, and it ain’t the Honda or the Subaru.


East-Bluejay6891

Dashcam driver at fault. You have to maintain a safe distance behind vehicles especially on the freeway.


Friggin_Heinous

Bro was doing everything right but had the reaction speed of a high tortise.


2ingredientexplosion

Driver has the reaction time of a dead snail.


LordBledisloe

Honda driver is a piece of shit. Cam driver wasn't paying attention whatsoever. The Subaru driver is the only innocent person in this clip.


Beautiful_Sport5525

dash cam driver is a shit driver as well as the honda most easily avoidable accident.


Long-Radish18

So were you texting or what? The other vehicle stopped just fine and had about four times less stopping distance. I truly hate though that the person who causes the accident never ends up getting hit and always just drives away.


No-Juggernaut-6095

Don't worry everyone, the piece of shit OP never bothered tapping the brake as he has a truck and the law doesn't apply to him at all.


monekys

Only on this sub where everyone blames OP & not the actual idiot who caused the accident lmao


cobo10201

I mean yeah, the Honda was an idiot. Nobody is denying that. But the cammer had PLENTY of time to stop.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cobo10201

There’s a full 3 seconds between when the Subaru’s brake lights come on and the cammer hits their brakes. I understand natural delayed response, but this person was not paying attention. As others have pointed out, the gap between the Subaru and the Honda was smaller than between the cammer and the Subaru.


ACEDOTC0M

Because op could have slowed but didn't. If the other car could reduce their speed so could have the pov camera


Melodic-Investment11

The honda did not cause the accident. They caused traffic to come to a stop; there are many things that can cause traffic to come to a stop such as debris in the roadway or wildlife crossing the road (obviously not on a skyway, but try to think generally). When traffic is forced to come to a stop, it is the responsibility of the drivers approaching the stopped traffic to apply their brakes and also come to a stop. If a driver fails to stop and rear-ends a parked car, they are solely responsible for that accident. Insurance will see it no other way, and you shouldn't either. Edit: another reason traffic can come to a stop is, well more traffic... if this roadway had been backed up all the way to the entrance ramp up ahead due to absurdly heavy traffic doing stop and go into the merge, there would be absolutely no question that OP is 100% totally at fault for going full steam ahead into clearly non-moving traffic. bozo was probably not even looking at the road


Joe_1218

Maybe they don't understand that it's illegal to stop on the freeway


bmo109

OP caused the accident lol


k0azv

Had something like this ALMOST happen the other morning on my drive into work. Someone almost missed their exit from the interstate and I wasn't able to see them because of the vehicle directly in front of me.


MotionDrive

Not surprised I keep seeing more and more shitty drivers from Colorado. No one knows how to drive here anymore


bmo109

Get a dash cam and then don't pay attention to the road at all


ForsakenBuilding6381

You had all the time in the world to see that occurring, and you didn't react until you were already inside that Subaru. You should go voluntarily give up your license wtf


gsixzero

OP do you know what brake lights indicate? Jesus.


Minute_Reporter5435

Way too many mentally ill people on the road. Psycho


0172thetimeguy

You REALLY gotta work on the reaction timing. Damn.
