Does this mean that this driver can’t drive through noisy areas?

In a video published on 28th Feb, a Hyundai driver with his head in the clouds attempted to change lanes on the expressway.

The cam driver, situated at Lane 1, was cruising along the road when she noticed the blue vehicle’s actions.

Wanting to alert the Hyundai driver of her presence, she sounded her horn.

This spooked the unalert driver, who sharply swerved to avoid a collision.

His reaction reminds me of a chinchilla, a species that is easily spooked by anything and everything. 

However, as the driver had oversteered, this caused him to lose control of his car.

The blue vehicle then hit the front of the cam car as it quickly slid towards the expressway barrier.

This led to the Hyundai driver quickly shifting gears and reversing to avoid a second collision.

The Hyundai’s sudden stunt scared other drivers on the rest of the lanes, all of whom narrowly avoided getting hit.

As the blue Hyundai manages to stop his vehicle in the middle of the first and second lanes, the cam driver could be heard wailing loudly after being hit.

Netizens’ reactions

I agree that there should be a balance. While the Hyundai driver should have been more alert, the cam driver should have been prepared to anticipate a potential collision and acted accordingly. 

There is no way an alert driver would make a mistake like this (although that second swerve to avoid the barrier was pretty cool). 

It takes a certain skill level to pull something like that off.
