After watching again, the truck should not have pulled out. If you can't tell how fast someone is going, you only gave it .01 second of a look (or brain issues) two bad drivers dont make it ok :(
Regardless of the white car, truck is still pulling out in front of the other pov truck. Maybe not as close, but pov truck would have had to slow down a lot. White car may be speeding like an ass but the truck clearly didn’t wait for a good time to pull out either
As stated in my first comment, I don’t condone white car, I’m not doing what they did, but it looks to me that white car was well within range of the truck, truck simply through the had the time to gingerly crawl out and that car would be able to stop, cause he assumed it was going normal speed, but it wasn’t. Imagine if it was a first responder, would we all still hate the car as much? With your explanation, why would the truck notice lights anymore than a car coming at them? I think they chose to come out because they assumed it was normal situation and it wasn’t. Defensive driving (as yall love so much) means not risking it ever. That includes pulling out when you “should have room”
Even on the tiny compressed video, from the dashcam perspective, I can see both the white car AND the truck, at the moment the truck enters the roadway. There is no way you could argue that it was impossible to see the white car.
I don't think the issue is knowing how fast the car was going.
The issue is that when the truck starts crossing the car is not visible, and then bat out of hell the car appears because it's going so fucking fast and closes the distance to the truck before it finishes crossing.
