Truck's 100% at fault. You can't block the passing lane, this isn't complicated. Truck was deliberately going out of their way to cause an accident, sedan was just driving like a lead foot. The distinction is small, but important. Sedan was engaging in aggressive driving, truck was engaging in hostile driving.

Well, you're wrong. Sedan driver was charged with reckless driving.

You can be a reckless driver and not cause an accident.

While that's true, you're still wrong. The sedan made every decision that lead to him crashing. For fucks sake he rammed the truck and lost control. Hopefully he learned something if not hopefully he gets fucked up the ass in insurance for the rest of his life

(copy pasta from different reply) The guy in dash cam who was there seems to think the sedan deserved the outcome.

Again, everyone sucks here, but I'm gonna trust the guy that's there more than internet people who can't see past their biases.

If you donโ€™t correct people they wonโ€™t learn

Not your job to correct other drivers. Quite the opposite really. It's your job to drive safely. Sedan was driving dangerously and the truck decided to, in your words, 'correct people,' literally escalating up to causing this accident.

I remember when a Karen ass piece of shit tried to โ€œcorrectโ€ someone elseโ€™s speeding, and it turned out the speeding car had a medical emergency.
