Who caused the Wreck on 85-N?

The fact that the driver of the SUV couldn't control the vehicle is the drivers fault. not the kid in the Acura (or whatever he was driving).

Lolol. Where is the logic in that? Later, QD.

Sorry. What I meant was, If you were driving the SUV and you lost control, that's not my fault as the driver of the RSX. Although I may have weaved in front of you, the fact that you over reacted and lost control of your own vehicle is not something I should be punished for. Any sort of Driving class teaches you how to react in any situation (and to wear your seatbelts). The SUV driver lost control of his car because he didnt think logically in time to react, so he ended up over reacting emotionally and it got him killed.

i.e. If I am driving down a 2 ln rd (one going each direction) and I see a car coming towards me in my lane. The emotional thing would be to go into his lane as to not hit anything. but a class is going to tell you to go to the right. Even if you hit a pole or mailbox, a xx mile per hour accident is better than twice that (which is what would happen if you were to hit the other car head on).

You would not go into his ln because he may realize whats going on and swerve back and hit you at the last moment....

While I understand your post, there is one main, VERY IMPORTANT factor that's being overlooked for this particular discussion. We don't know how far/close the Acura was in relation to the SUV. That would make a big difference in the reaction of the SUV driver.

But the driver should be charged manslaughter because if he hadn't cut off the SUV period (no matter his reaction), it's "100% probable" that the SUV wouldn't have just lost control on it's own.

I'm bowing out of this until more facts come to light. Later, QD.

So in other words, brake-checking is ok..... next time i'm on the freeway, i'm going to slam on my brakes for fun, so the other driver can swerve and miss me... what do i have to lose, right? I mean he should be keeping control of his vehicle at all times... me posing a hazard shouldn't matter... shame on him !!!!

I'm suprised I didnt see this earlier....

Brake check all you want to. The issue is the person behind you should not be so close to you that if you had to slam on the brakes, they couldnt react. And if your doing 100 plus, you should be able to get far enough ahead where this wouldnt be an issue

and if you hit someone that brake checks you, you get the ticket for following too close. stay off ppls bumpers. rule is their should be a 2 light pole interval between u nand the car in front. gives you plenty of time to react.
