I think there are at least 3 idiots here:

  • The suv driver. fairly obvious
  • The mixer driver. They shouldn't have been driving fast enough where sudden breaking would make them lose their load. Also may have been overfilled.
  • The property owner of the property suv driver is pulling out of. The tree/shrubs block a good portion of the view into the roadway. The shrub is overgrown into the sidewalk and makes it a blind turn unless you pull Into the sidewalk and the curb.
  • there may be a bunch of idiots with city planning/ zoning to allow the bush to be placed so close to the roadway in the first place

As funny as the gif is, this could've been avoided if there was one less idiot

Driver: I stopped 50 tons in 2 seconds

Internet Rando: you should not have made a mess on the idiots whose lives you just saved with your quick thinking.

Narrowly avoiding a collision isn’t the sign of a good driver.

Good drivers are the ones who prevent the risk of narrow misses to begin with.

I wholeheartedly agree with the other posters that the truck driver was driving too fast for that road and the load they were carrying.

Good drivers are the ones who prevent the risk of narrow misses to begin with.

There are always going to be mistakes, whether it's mechanical failure or operator error due to inexperience/sickness/lack of common sense. It's more proper to say a good driver is someone who turns a potential accident into a narrow miss.
