The confusing situation of a 16-seat car squeezing a truck on the highway ( Video : OFFB).

After the video recording the above situation was shared on social networks, a Facebook account named P. Nguyen commented: "Drivers should change their perspective when merging. As someone who wants to merge, I always think of giving way to oncoming vehicles, and only do so when it is safe. Even when going from a small road to a large road.

Don’t selfishly think of forcing one or more vehicles to slow down so you can merge into the lane. There are two issues related to safety and awareness. First, you are the one who wants to merge, so you are in a safe state. Take control and don’t turn that situation into an unsafe one.

Second, in terms of consciousness, if you merge into a lane recklessly and cause a whole convoy to brake suddenly, that is selfish.

Wish you civilized and safe driving".

Agreeing with this point of view, nick Pham V. commented: "Although it is possible to compete to merge into the lane a little bit first, but the speed is slower than the car going straight, we should understand them.

In that situation, they could have stopped, but it was very dangerous. What's more, the car in the merging lane forced the car going straight to brake suddenly, but then the car that had just merged slowed down again. The car behind lost momentum and could get stuck in the left lane and could not pass. That situation was truly selfish and dangerous.

The 16-seat car in this situation was too hasty, if it broke the mirror, it would have to pay. If it could have gotten ahead, then just go. The driver of the small truck did not understand that with the speed and design of the car, the small truck could not accelerate as fast as the 16-seat car, so why accelerate? If the driver can avoid a dangerous situation, he should avoid it.

Meanwhile, member Tung B. said that in this case, the merging vehicle had already run out of lane space, so the vehicle in the inner lane had to slow down and give way; in this case, the selfish part belonged to the 16-seat vehicle.

"Watching the video carefully, I saw that the truck had just entered the lane, while the 16-seat vehicle was in the right lane. But if the truck entered slowly, the 16-seat vehicle should also slow down, because the truck had signaled from quite a distance, and the 16-seat vehicle would arrive a while later. The 16-seat vehicle should give way a little, because the acceleration lane is out of the way anyway.

"I was driving from afar and saw a car on the right asking to enter the lane, so I slowed down, or if the left lane was empty like in the video, I slowed down a bit and followed the black car. Why did I have to fight like that? The road is clear," commented user Hoai D.
