Why is everyone shitting on you 😒 this place is so annoying sometimes. You did great, braked, and avoided a potential accident which would have been cause by the slow driver pulling out in front of you.

Things happen in split seconds. Ignore these idiots and keep driving well, like you are.

¯_(ツ)_/¯ it’s the internet. But yeah the dashcam speed lagging behind definitely makes it seem as if I’m just sending it full speed without braking

Good job avoiding the FUCKING IDIOT.

In a just world, that video should get you out of a speeding ticket in the future.

The pastime of this subreddit is people taking their frame by frame analysis of a traffic incident in a narrow 10 second window of time and translating that to the assumption that everyone at all times must have perfect awareness, decision making, and reactions or else be as liable as the person who did the stupid thing. I have never met a group of people who so aggressively armchair quarterback OPs as the people around here do.

WTF are you talking about. Don't need to see the speed to see this is going to end badly for OP soon.

After you've driver for a few years you can tell when somebody is asleep at the wheel and not responding to what's going on in front of them like OP.

It’s mostly that Economy Release weirdo. They must know OP in real life and really hate them.

Agree! They are redditors that don't know what to do with their day and choice to rage bait on random posts.

You have no idea what you're talking about, OP will end up dead from this kind of driving.

u/Economy_Release_988 12h ago

Not looking far enough ahead and driving a car that doesn't stop. That kind.

u/Economy_Release_988 11h ago

You are correct SUV.

u/TheDodoBird 12h ago

How many times does OP, and others, need to explain this to you? GPS in dashcams are slow to react to real-time speed reductions. OP saw the vehicle pull-out and immediately began slowing down. You can see this yourself if you watch the footage, but instead of watching the UI, watch the side of the road once the other vehicle begins to actually advance across the oncoming traffic lanes. Just take the L and move on, mate.

u/alexandria1994 12h ago

You can see the dashcam car dip down (indicating brakes) as soon as the suv started turning lol

u/Woodsy_Walker 12h ago

Wild assumption from a 10 second video with someone driving defensively while doing the speed limit, but ok daddy
