re: Stupid girl driver video - anyone know her?

Whether the truck should have been in the left lane or not is irrelevant to the issue of the wreck. He was in the lane and has no legal responsibility to slow down and let her in regardless of her blinker. Even if he's being a dick by speeding up, he has no obligation to let her in just because she puts her blinker on. A blinker isn't there to say "Hey motherfricker, this is what I'm doing and frick you if you don't like it", it's there to say "this is my intent". As the driver changing lanes it's her responsibility to make sure she has enough room to do so. She didn't. She gambled that she could force her way in just so she wouldn't have to wait behind the other, slower 18-wheeler. She lost.

This is absolutely spot on. Honestly, good for the trucker for standing up for his right of way. If this was a schoolyard, the Volkswagen would be suspended for bullying the trucker.

Maybe she'll learn a lesson from this.

I would not bet the farm on this.
