    Parehong may mali...

    There are no winners here, only losers. Everyone is wrong.

    Let’s look at the facts: you have a person in the left lane filming the person behind them, who is obviously trying to pass.

    Were they tailgating? Probably.

    But when someone in the passing line wants to pass you, the normal protocol is to move over, not go even slower so you can capture it on film.

    In the video description, the uploader says that there were trucks on the right and because of wet roads she was afraid to speed. I’m glad to see that she’s a safe driver, and would almost believe her if it weren’t for the fact that she had no problem pulling out her phone and recording everything.

    Should the guy in the truck have tailgated or given her the finger? Probably not. But he didn’t deserve that kind of fate. Not by a long shot.

    Hopefully karma decides to pay her a visit, too.

    hahahahaha! but i think the driver of the car (who is recording the video) is at the maximum speed limit already.
    although, it is correct that the car could have given way, di ko napansin kung 2 lane lang yung road eh.

    Umabot na sa mainstream news... Ayaw magpa-interview yung nag-finger. Tapos hinuli pa ng traffic police for reckless driving, not wearing a seatbelt and leaving the scene of a crash, all because of the video.

    The video has created an uproar on the Web. Some have praised the woman for capturing the driver's bad behavior on video. However, others contend she herself played a part in the incident. The uploader has disabled comments to the YouTube video, citing "rude, uncalled for, and just downright mean" responses.

    The man drove away from the accident, but thanks to the woman's video, police say they were able to track him down. Jeffrey White was charged with leaving the scene, reckless driving and failure to wear a seat belt, according to WTSP.

    Speaking to the station, the woman said she hoped some good would come of the incident and the man would take the opportunity to improve as a driver. She also said that officials thanked her: Footage of the pickup's license plate led them right to White.

    Slow vehicles move to the right. Simple traffic rule.

    While the woman shouldn't have taken her hand off the wheel to video, especially seeing as it was slippery, she wasn't hogging the left lane.

    Guy on another forum did the maths and research. The area where she was filming was built up, with many intersections. She was in line for the left turn, and in the video, you can see them passing trucks. Not long after they pass the last truck, before she can pull over, the guy pulls out to overtake, pulls back to give the finger, then roars off to crash.

    The woman says he was tailgating her for a long time. If there's someone hogging the left lane not letting you pass, the correct answer is: whip out your cellphone and video THEM.

    While it's only proper (and legally required) to move right when you're not overtaking or if you're not turning left, they were passing a lot of trucks, as you can see in the video, which means little opportunity to cut right, and no legal requirement to do so. Although it's pretty obvious she was being totally passive-aggressive abut being within her legal rights by refusing to be intimidated.
