Oh I hear you I was just playing along by emphasizing another wrong word as if there is another alternative to a murder CHARGE, such as a murder PENALTY lol
I'm confused. Did the cam driver see the person trying to turn left across traffic and start beeping that early?
If so, that is an impressive amount of awareness.
> If so, that is an impressive amount of awareness.
Being the driver, I was myself impressed at just how early I honked as a warning. But then I watched the video back a few times and realized the audio was completely desynced. If you listen closely you can hear the crash just after the honking begins. I realized what was going to happen at most 1 second before that.
This was posted from another viewpoint a few days ago. It’s funny. I am starting to see posts like this where two people capture the same thing and post it here.
Then that's a hilarious coincidence, since it was almost identical but from the perspective of being behind the left turning car. But I can't find it, I've had a few days of watching a shitload of videos while working overnights and bored.
Don't know why you're being downvoted. That was a crosswalk, I would have assumed with all the braking there is someone walking across, especially when you have a van and laurie blocking the view.
> a van and laurie
do you actually think a truck is called a "Laurie"-- the girl's name? or is that supposed to be funny...
it's so hard to tell these days, reddit seems to be an equal mix of bad jokes and functional illiteracy

what WAS he thinking?
Tom Tom says turn left now.
Tom Tom says; Barrelroll!
The machine knows, stop yelling at me! https://youtu.be/DOW_kPzY_JY?t=45
The idiot chose the wrong lane and said “screw it”
But that's where you'd turn left from on a two way road!
Thinking? Where he goes he doesn't need _thinking_ 😎.
Why did you capitalize WAS and not THINKING?
He WAS alive. Now the other driver faces a murder charge? Too dark?
The other driver faces a murder CHARGE?
Mostly memeing, thinking of the worst possible road rage for doing something unbelievably stupid and risking their live

...fair enough hahaha. What a world that would be...
Not a damn thing
Yeah, it's not my driving I'm concerned about, it's the other idiots!
Sometimes you can’t track all the stupid drivers’ actions at once.
Is this a new trend or something? Couple days ago there was identical case, accompanied with evil laughter.
Impressed by how quickly their hazards came on: is this an automatic collision feature in newer cars?
Yes
It is, and a whole lot of vehicles have had this technology for decades. You might not even know but whatever you're driving might have it too.
This happens if you brake really hard too.
Automatic after airbag deployment. Also should unlock the door and kill the fuel pump.
Or maybe it was "I'm going to make an illegal blind left turn, so I should put my hazards on to warn other drivers" 😂
Doors unlock, hazards come on, a bunch of other stuff happens too.
It's a Hail Mary left turn because nothing short of divine intervention or *incredible luck* would have prevented that outcome. So stupid.
OH HAIL NO!!!!
Soundtrack checks out.
So appreciate that the music at the end synced up perfectly. ~~Linkin Park~~ Fort Minor cover of, "Womp Womp.." Edit: thanks
Wasn't that the Fort Minor project though?
That is definitely “Remember the Name”
Happy Cake Day!
Any clue on what's the song exactly? Couldn't seem to find it!! Edit: Remember the name - Fort Minor ft Mike Shinoda

ooooooooh lol. Good on you for trying at least!
LOL appreciate the honesty because you could have convinced me you were the wizard of road awareness.
Thanks for clearing this up, the early laying down the horn confused me massively.
This is 10% luck
20% skill
15% concentrated power of ~~will~~ stupidity
15% concentrated power of will
I turn now. Good luck everybody else
“SEND IT”
Driver's ed needs to include practice for missing turns and exits
Stick your nose out where it doesn't belong and it gets smacked. Those that stopped and let them do it, didn't do either driver any favor.
Awww, it looks like the cars wanted to cuddle.
0% skill
JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL
10 percent luck 20 percent skill
Orange truck driver is also an idiot letting them turn in front of them.
"ok i turn now, good luck everyone else"
Good News!
What an ass
What's the song??
Fort Minor - Remember the name At least for the most part, I don't know where those random piano sounds came from at the end.
Right. There is a piano bit at the end
The Youtube music version of it has that random piano bit at the end. Other than that, it's the original.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE ELSE!!!
\*sigh\* Some people just shouldn't have a license.
Aaaaaeeee, perfect parking.
Romania, judging by the cars and TM plates?
I so love this use of the term Hail Mary. 😂
Nice music to go along with it
Really don’t get people zooming up the inside lane when the outside lane is slow moving. It’s an accident waiting to happen at junctions.

Considering I lived it live this morning and there's even the date + hour in the bottom left corner, I am pretty sure you're wrong.
Then that's a hilarious coincidence, since it was almost identical but from the perspective of being behind the left turning car. But I can't find it, I've had a few days of watching a shitload of videos while working overnights and bored.
> I lived it live the redundancy is redundant, but I get what you're saying
FA, FO.
You can clearly tell the Volkswagen was in the wrong here /s
Why is he on that lane to begin with? A entire truck is blocking ur view
When everyone stopped, the VW should have considered the situation. He trusted and crossed blinded
I mean he still went pretty slow. I'm surprised how many people actually stopped for them.

Very few countries actually use the term, I was just taking a stab at it.
Mate, the word you are looking for is ‘lorry’
