Dashcam footage of a terrible collision has polarized Australians, with a concealed detail fueling debate over the at-fault driver.
Sunday in Derrimut, Victoria, the footage shows a white van turning right in front of a car crossing an intersection with a green light.
However, the automobile appears to speed up after the van runs a red light, leaving social media users perplexed.
The video depicts a white van making a right turn while another car with a green signal speeds straight ahead and crashes into the van.
As many began to blame both drivers, the website Dash Cam Owners Australia and other users pointed out that the angle of the video would have been considerably different from the drivers’ actual point of view.
‘The dash cam does not have the same perspective as the driver, and it is very plausible that the driver saw the van aligned with their vehicle before the dash cam did. A commenter on the Dash Cam Owners Australia page commented, “A pillar.”
Despite the fact that the viewpoint may have been concealed, many nevertheless criticized the driver.
One person stated that the driver accelerated at the green light like a race car driver, while another suggested that an eye exam was in order.
‘0 to 43 km/h before impact. One user remarked, ‘You left the line with a considerable amount of velocity, but if the van hadn’t run the red light, you wouldn’t have hit him. However, if you hadn’t left the line like Peter Brock, you probably would have noticed him and missed him.
If you couldn’t immediately tell by his speed that he was going to run the red light, you shouldn’t have a license. You may have technically been in the right, but you were the cause of the accident,’ commented another.
“One of you needs Specsavers, and it wasn’t the guy who ran the red light,” a third person added.
