Why did the other car turn in? Was he trying to hit the oncoming asshole car, thereby making the accident much worse? Anyway, upvote for amazing title.

holy shit

The asshole car clipped the car on the right in the back left corner. It pushed the back slightly out to the right which effectively put that car into a left hand turn. It did not do it on purpose.

My understanding of physics, as elementary as it may be (I earned a C+) - the car being hit on the left side would push the car to the right like you said. The driver would have to correct the direction but it looks like he/she over-corrected. I dunno, I've never been clipped from behind going that fast.

It's not a first person perspective of the asshole driver. To do that it would have to be a dash cam inside the asshole driver's car.

Yes, this is the second-person perspective of the asshole... sadly, the first-person perspective of the asshole's victim.

Hopefully, that video was used as proof/evidence.

I'm sorry to inform you that your C+ was well deserved ;-)

The car was in fact hit on the left side. but it would only go to the right if it had been hit on the front left side. since the moron had hit the other car on the back left side he effectively turned it to the left. This is a technique trained and used i.e. by security personell for stopping especially front wheel drive cars. basically you just "turn" the car.

Take a model car, put your finger on top and push it forwards. no with your other hand push the back end to the right. result: car goes left. quod erat demonstrandum as my phyics teacher used to note :-)

dude might not be an asshole, just a typical driving phone "L"user... looked up... too late!

looks like he was impatient with the car in the far left lane (the one with the camera) and was trying to pass on the right, but just missed his window.

better zoom in and enhance the video to see the license plate

I blame Blade Runner for this.

Conan, also not to forget that the tires are still spinning and will alter the cars direction. if you push the back end to the right, even without steering correction the angle of the tires will now be intercepting the left lane.

Saddly I didnt see anything about this asshole getting caught.

I believe that would still qualify the driver as an asshole.

Holy FUCK!!! That was unexpected. Maybe she shouldn't have been texting while driving, huh? >:[

All for the sake of not wanting to lightly touch the break and wait for the gap to increase?
