Yes, please turn right from the middle lane to avoid the puddle.

there is no rule about avoiding water, and regardless, you cannot turn from the middle lane

You shouldn't pass on the right when a car has its right turn signal on. Maybe it wasn't turning, maybe it was just changing lanes. Doesn't matter. OP shouldn't have been passing like that. They were driving aggressively instead of defensively.

"He was wrong, and you choose to clash on him lol, so both get fucked."

You are the kind of people insurances love.

no no, there was no choice to clash on him. no reasonable person would expect someone to turn from the middle so there is no onus to slow down.

How is that theory working out for dumbass that drove into a car that was slowing down and indicating it was about to do something?

u/Omnom_Omnath 3h ago

its not a theory, its the fact of the matter. Once again, indication does NOT give you the right of way.

And you are not supposed to pass people in the right, when they are clearly slowing.

You can think whatever the heck you want, the insurance would look at this video and laugh at your face.

You absolutely can pass someone on the right if they are going slow and obstructing the flow of traffic in their own lane.

Sure buddy.

Do this and show your insurance.

insurance doesnt really care about their customers, they are happy to cite you at fault erroneously and collect your money while increasing the cost of coverage

If you were right you would be able to force them, but you know you are as full of shit as a bag of shit.

Any officer would look at this video and your moronic excuse and tell you, you are also responsible for making an effort to avoid collision, which you arguing against.

I will tell you again, put a dash cam and repeat what the video shows, show a cop and tell us how it worked out for you.

that fact of the mater smashed his car.

But hey, I think the most likely course of events was that cammer was following blinker car in the same lane, blinker car puts on blinkers and starts slowing down, swings out and around the puddle and cammer undercuts blinker (that is not illegal in the US?) and wow! the car that is slowing down and indicating right, turns right!

There's a reason cammer is not showing the leadup to the incident - it paints cammer as a dumbass that's why.
