- pengaru 5y agoAs if their braking is a reliable indicator of precisely when they see what...
- bitshiftfaced 5y agoI think it can be, but for me it's more a question of whether the right-lane truck braked for the stopped truck or for some other reason.
- pengaru 5y agoNot only are they unpredictable humans in general, but truckers are often the most sleep-deprived inattentive drivers on the road. Having been personally involved in a collision with one where my vehicle ended up under their trailer at highway speeds, when the trucker abruptly swerved into my lane to avoid rear-ending another truck they were tail-gating without paying enough attention to brake in time, I find this thread of discussion patently absurd.
- seoulmetro 5y agoPeople don't realise how much "swerving to get out of the way of your own mistakes" costs the person you're swerving into. It's so sad to see it, but then they claim "oh but it was empty". People use it as their resort when following too closely, I wish they'd just accept their mistake and crash into the back of the car in front of them. But that would be too clean and logical.

- pandaman 5y agoThe truck probably was braking as the cars that merged to the right from the lanes with the wreck slowed the right lane.
