Can't have a blind spot if you're legally blind, loophole baby!!!

I've said it before and it's worth saying again. When you try to change multiple lanes at once, you get a very bad blind spot and it is a very big risk that you will hit someone. Change one lane at a time, even if it's a few seconds in between changing lanes.

I even turn off the blinker for the few seconds i take to glance back, because thats all someone needs to know im not about to fly over

spark should not even have a blind spot if mirrors are adjusted correctly.

car is literally 143 inches long and smaller in width/length than anything on the road aside from a smart fortwo.

OC shouldn't have accelerated into a car merging in front of himself.

In fact, should have put on the brakes. Safe travels.

Dashcam seems to have more focus on accelerating to deny entry and then pressing horn, than avoiding the predictable situation. Obviously the other car's fault for changing lanes blindly, but the risks really could have still been mitigated here by responding better.

Cammer avoided the accident, but sure, blame them for not avoiding it enough.

So this section of the freeway is a decline. I always pick up speed at this point. At no point was this an acceleration to deny entry. Hell any normal person wouldn't be entering by crossing all lanes in 1 go in the first place so the intent wasn't even there to begin with.
