Watch as driver pulls out of junction missing oncoming traffic by inches… but viewers are divided on who’s to blame
THIS is the terrifying moment a driver pulled out into traffic, avoiding a collision by just inches and leaving viewers divided over who’s to blame.
The clip was posted to TikTok showing dashcam footage of the scary near miss filmed by a motorist named Sam.
The video shows a black Vauxhall hatchback pulling out from a junction onto a main road, forcing Sam , who was already travelling at speed, to brake sharply.
A shout of “woah” can be heard as Sam honks his horn loudly in anger at the move.
He can also be heard breathing heavily in shock while he comes to a stop.
Meanwhile, the driver of the Vauxhall in front gave the thumbs up and accelerated away.
Their actions left social media commenters divided, with some condemning them for being reckless.
One wrote: “Unambiguous cam car in the right, applied brakes hard – as required – and genuinely saved themselves.”
Another added: “Whoever says the dashcam is at fault should… have their license taken away.”
The fact that the junction was marked with give way lines was also a focus of the criticism against the Vauxhall driver.
However, some users didn’t see an issue.
One person argued: “Did they flash him though?
“Sounded like it and he thanked them.”
It comes after a motorist sparked a debate after gliding past 20 cars queuing at traffic lights as they “can’t read road signs”.
Meanwhile, people were again left divided by a plus-sized driver’s note about “bad” parking.
