“My friend,” writes commenter @ilir2323, “That is going to be very expensive.” Reader @skys_the_limit_18 asks what happened next. The creator of the video writes, “Blue truck got towed and driver cited a ticket.” “It’s called following distance,” says @nuketown5822. “No matter how abruptly someone stops you always need enoough following distance to stop. Always. He’s in the wrong.” “Good thing he did not turn to the side walks to avoid that hit,” writes @jobzapata21, noticing the pedestrians on the sidewalk right by the scene. “This is why you travel at a safe distance,” advises @q.u.e.e.n1.0. “Don’t speed and pay attention to what you’re doing as well as other drivers on the road.” “Looks like white car was waiting for pedestrians to pass so they could turn into a driveway,” surmises @geniemiranda. “Blue truck was too busy scrolling TikToks.” We post videos such as these as part of our coverage because we hope there are specific behaviors drivers can learn and implement to help make our roads safer for all of us.
