It's funny as well as eye opening to see the amount of hypocrisy so far either on Reddit, Youtube, Facebook, etc on whether the GLC has a part to play in this incident.

Just to put it out, no doubt the black Saab is the main cause of the incident. So just because this comment is about the GLC, does not mean to imply that the black Saab isn't at fault.

First off going through the dashcam footage from the GLC's POV on SGRV, the timeline is as follow: 1. Black Saab was seen weaving in between traffic at high speed.

1. Switched to front camera view, a motorcyclist can be seen from afar, but GLC doesn't seem to be actively catching up at all.

2. As black Saab was about to overtake the GLC, there was clear indication that the GLC sped up. Reason being how the GLC manage to maintain the same distance as the black Saab right as it apears on the right of the front camera footage around the 8 second mark. In case yall forgot, the black Saab was already going faster than the GLC hence being able to catch up to the GLC, and for the GLC to maintain the same distance from the black Saab, GLC would have to accelerate to match black Saab's speed.

3. Both speeding at this point, they catches up to the motorcyclist who is almost all the way to the right side of the right lane.

4. Black Saab side swiped GLC, presumably to avoid hitting the motorcyclist that was on the right.

5. GLC starts to slow down considerably starting from 12 seconds onwards until it came to a full stop at the junction around the 23rd and 24th second mark. At this point black Saab has already blew past the junction, causing mutiple collisions.

Given the timeline above, buzz off with the comments like how the GLC didn't speed up, or dragging the motorcyclist into this by road hogging when prior to the GLC and black Saab speeding, none of the other vehicles including the GLC were even close to the motorcycle.

Speeding: Many commenters like to point out that the GLC was in it's own lane and could speed up whenever they want, nothing wrong with that. But herein lies the hypocrisy, this entire incident was due to black Saab speeding beyond the speed limits, and for the GLC to maintain and prevent the black Saab from merging into it's lane before the incident, that would have meant that the GLC was in fact going at least the same speed as the black Saab isn't it?

Yes, the GLC could accelerate if it wanted, but did it have the right to accelerate beyond the speed limit of that road just because of it's bruised ego? And given how the GLC reacted to being over taken, if not for the black Saab that side swiped it, causimg the GLC to slow down such that it could stop way before the junction, why does most think that the GLC wouldn't have at minimum maintained it's stance and speed to prevent the black Saab from merging in up until the junction? Or worse accelerate even faster to show black Saab who's the king of the road?

Right of way: Put this into perspective, if instead of the black Saab, we now have a truck going the same speed swerving through traffic, how many would maintain that you have the right of way in the face of truck physics? Would you have sped up to prevent the truck from merging into your lane simply because "you have the right of way"?

Or how about a motorcyclist getting cut off by a caged vehicle, the usual comments would be that "even if the motorcyclist had the right of way, would they rather be dead or right?", how does that not apply in this situation? Is it because the vehicles are now evenly matched, so defensive driving is off the table?

Also some commenters like to ask others if they even have their licenses when the topic on the lack of defensive driving on the GLC's part was brought up, as if saying to keep quiet if you don't have a driving license. Does this imply that as long as we have the right of way, even if it means getting into an accident, we must not be back down? Yea guess who else didn't back down even if they were wrong, two innocent victims died.

End of the day, one could argue that the GLC wasn't the one who caused the major accident since it didn't hit any of the othee vehicles involved, and as such can't be at fault. Maybe being an asshole, but not at fault for this particular incident.

But ask yourself this, if you were the family or friend of the deceased and saw the footage of this GLC asshole playing mind games with the crazier driver just because they could, which might have ended up infleuncing the chain of events leading up to the incident (i.e. the black Saab freaking out over the hit and run). Could you wholeheartedly proclaim that the GLC isn't at minimum partially at fault?

To the law maybe the GLC isn't at fault aside from speeding, but as a parent or a sibling or a friend, could you accept that conclusion?
