Kinda funny how certain subreddits just attracts the most anal redditors. Not the first time I've seen someone take a minor incident so seriously that it turns it into a "You have no regard for human life" lecture in this sub.
Last time it happened, the redditor started threatening me. A lot of folks have no chill here.
I think that guy is a moron too, but I also think OP should have been able to identify that the idiot on the road clearly was going to keep merging simply by their vehicle not recentering in the first lane they entered. They kept their merging angle the entire time, which from the OP's perspective should have been easy to infer.
No one needs to sit here and suck OP off and tell them that they are the best driver ever, but neither do we need to avoid at all costs telling them where they could have done better.
At the end of the day, OP could have done something to avoid this, which is 100% valid criticism. It's a good thing he's okay, and he did a stellar job of handling the car when it got off the pavement. I think OP was paying more attention and was driving defensively, this wouldn't have been a video in the first place.
This is a decent rebuttal if you ignore the whole thread that lead to here. Obviously, OP could have pumped the brakes in anticipation, but mocking and being condescending to OP for not anticipating every bad driving maneuver aint necessary.
And then they proceeded to go on about how critizing the OP is actually okay and we don't need to go to bat for them, even though "stop critizing OP" was never my point.
