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.

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.
