Truck-kun was the villain in this isekai. A new sub-genera was created that day.

I see someone had early access to that new Tesla jumping car.

What in the shit was that fool trying to accomplish?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Whatever it was, it looks like they did it.

Flatbed was going too slow and SUV is late for a hair cut

Yeah, but it did elegantly spanked that Civics butt.

They had a short amount of space to pass (unsafely) before it went back down to 1 lane and think of the inconvenience. They are so fucking lucky they don't have manslaughter of that pedestrian on their record---oniy because it happened to be someone walking who was fast and paying attention--exactly because of how dangerous it is to be a pedestrian.

Looks like he started trying to pass the truck before it entered the frame, then had to swerve back to the left to avoid the incoming car, clipped the corner of the truck, and the rest is on camera.

lol at that driver pulling a PIT maneuver on themselves.

Who pays for the shit he had to drop to get out of the way? And for the new pair of pants he needs

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 4 points 1 day ago

Basically he can make a claim on the driver's insurance, although I have a feeling the insurance might try to get out of paying for the pedestrian's shopping since that's kinda hard to prove the loss on and slightly nonstandard

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 days ago

Technically the driver's insurance, but it would take a lawyer. Ultimately they would be responsible though
