Possiblity that the guy getting passed was planning to turn.

People are trying to blame the guy filming for this, seriously? Given that those utility poles are probably around 200' apart, and calculating the speed based off the fact it took him three seconds to go that distance, 200'/3s = 66'/s which translates to roughly 45mph, which is the speed limit on that road, the driver was going the speed limit. The driver slowed to make his turn into a driveway, but the impatient driver in the Infinity wanted to illegally pass on a double yellow line instead of waiting patiently. Even if the camera car didn't signal his left turn into the driveway, there is absolutely no reason to pass a slowing vehicle illegally unless they put their hazard lights on and are beginning to pull off to the side of the road. The only other times you can cross over a double yellow is if you are instructed to by law enforcement or a traffic controller, or if there is an obstruction blocking your path. Neither of those two things were present here and the black Infinity almost caused a serious collision.

Both of them are at fault. The guy illegally passing and tailgating the cammer gets most of the fault for the reasons you mentioned but the cammer still has an obligation to check their mirrors to see if it’s safe to make the turn.

@@B345T1N355Official If you are making a left turn, from the furthest left hand side of the roadway, you have no reason to check your mirrors. No reason at all. The only circumstance where you'd need to do that is when you hear an emergency vehicle approaching. None of the blame, literally none of it, goes on the camera driver in this instance.

@@stobe1563 wrong, from this roadway you would go as close to the centerline as possible, not into the other lane, but again if the cammer checked his mirrors he would see the dude trying to overtake, yes the overtake was illegal but since the cammer could have totally avoided the accident, there's some fault on the cammer

@@B345T1N355Official So you don't even know how traffic law is written based off this statement, "as close to the centerline as possible, not into the other lane." Also this, "the cammer could have totally avoided the accident, there's some fault on the cammer," tells me you don't even know what happened in the video considering the wasn't a collision between the two vehicles. I really hope you never find yourself writing an accident report cause it'll be all sorts of screwy.

Did you signal that turn well in advance? Or did you wait until you've decelerated and then pop the signal on as you turn the wheel? Or maybe have the right-hand turn signal burned out. People in general are not suicidal - my guess is that he thought you were going to turn right.

Even if there was no signal at all it's still double lines and you don't get to cross them to go around, so even if this guy did everything wrong that doesn't excuse the other driver it would just make two assholes on the road instead of one

Odds are OP was driving exactly the speed limit on a backroad which everyone usually drives a lot over the speed limit, combined with a late signal with braking beforehand means the driver went for a pass as they were probably annoyed at you for not traveling at a reasonable speed given the traffic conditions. This exact video is important to why you should always start signaling before you start braking so the people behind you don't assume you're a timid unsafe driver, and so they don't pull maneuvers like this trying to avoid your dangerous, unpredictable behaviors.

Wrong on all counts. Your assumptions on OP’s actions, which none of us know for sure, still don’t excuse passing on a double yellow.

@@Shannon-pb7ut It doesn't make any logical sense why the car would go for a pass if OP was signaling a turn- it simply doesn't make sense. The much more reasonable answer is that OP's signaling was delayed at best, at worst not even occurring, which gave the black car false confidence in their ability to pass OP.

@@Techdolphin200 people over take turning vehicles all the time, you must be an inexperienced driver to say “it doesn’t make logical sense” no one on the road makes logical sense which is why you have to drive defensively. Good on OP for quick reflexes and avoiding an accident due to a reckless idiot 👍🏻

I agree this was an illegal pass but you also should’ve checked your mirrors in case somebody did some shit like this. Both of you are at fault but I would have to put more fault on the other car because they passed when the line was clearly solid. 75-25.

He was going exactly 45 mph, the posted speed limit on that road. Maybe you'd know that if you knew how to do basic mathematical equations.
