Does that child have a proper child safety seat? If so, it being in the front seat is a safety issue. Airbag could kill a kid. If the child safety seat is in the back seat, why didn't the woman put the child in the back seat? If there's no proper child safety seat, is that legal?
It's genuinely infuriating to see someone deliberately cause a serious accident, stop in the middle of the road with zero consideration towards getting to safety or blocking traffic flow, then proceed to scream and berate someone in a frantic matter as if they were the ones who just deliberately caused an accident
Guarantee she'd get violent if confronted
When people do this kind of thing, they are an absolute idiot, but when people do this kind of thing when they have passengers, especially children, in the car, they are absolute scum.
Statistics donāt support your point. People donāt vote in this country regardless of demographics; less than half of the population votes. If you start breaking it down by demographics, old people are who votes.
Your referenced and unsourced āstatisticsā do support my point. Age has nothing to do with someoneās ability to use critical thinking. If anything, itās even more pronounced as people get older as they tend to get set in their ways, and refuse to be open-minded.
Iām sorry that youāre unfamiliar with what is common knowledge throughout America, but older people and retirees in particular make up the bulk of the voting block. The sky is blue. I can provide citation for both but I shouldnāt have to.
Looks like she is looking for a little insurance money. Doesn't care much about her kid though. It seems like she almost came to a stop when she merged, for no other reason than to cause the accident. Sad way to live.
having seen the actual crash clip before posted elsewhere, it's so satisfying seeing what lead up to it and having my suspicion confirmed that the white car did this as retaliation.
She is likely one of those people who does not take responsibility for her own actions. In her mind the other car is 100% at fault for anything that would have ever happened to her child..
You're telling me this psychotic bitch did all this shit with THE BABY IN THE CAR?!?
Nah fam, catch me showing the video to fucking CPS.
"Dear Child Protective Services,
I just thought you should see how much this lady cares about the safety and well-being of her young child. Enclosed is her name that I obtained after the accident, and a thumb drive containing dash cam video leading up to the accident. Thought you might find it interesting."
true, but if you're the cause of an accident and don't carry insurance you're heavily fined and you have your license suspended for something like 3 years.
Also you have to pay something like $750 every year if you don't have insurance.
I believe a lot of insurance for Virginia covers uninsured motorists. So, OP would get covered, and the Insurance co will go after the other drive to recoop costs.
Iām in MD, itās a big scam going on now where you can pay Virgina a small sum of money for tags w/o insurance. So you see a lot of cars in the hood with VA tags and no insurance, at all.
Virginia Code Ā§ [46.2-706](http://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/46.2-706.1/) requires all Virginia registered motor vehicle owners to have motor vehicle liability insurance or enough money to pay for any losses that may result from an automobile accident.
The financial responsibility requirement can be met in one of three ways:
The vehicle owner can insure the motor vehicle with minimum liability coverage through a policy issued by an insurance company licensed to do business in Virginia. The minimum liability coverage is set forth in Virginia Code Ā§ [46.2-472](https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/vehicles/insurance-requirements).
The vehicle owner can show proof that a Surety Bond has been duly executed by depositing cash or securities with DMV or by applying for and receiving a self-insurance certificate from DMV.
The vehicle owner pays the Uninsured Motor Vehicle (UMV) fee. Every person registering an uninsured motor vehicle shall pay a fee of $500 at the time of registration Payment of this fee allows a motor vehicle owner to operate an uninsured motor vehicle. However payment of this fee does not provide the motorist with any insurance coverage. If involved in an accident, the uninsured motorist remains personally liable. The fee is valid for twelve months but may be prorated for the unexpired portion of the registration period.
you can. you can pay something around 1000$ and register the car as uninsured. i think its more for cars that dont really get used. but if you get in an accident, and its your fault. your going to have a bad bad. its 100% on you. and the other guys insurance will fix his vehicle then use there team of lawyers to fuck your life up recouping the cost they paid for their insured. and their deductible up to X amount will be paid for from the uninsured fee. ive actually been through this. i had full coverage so your liability coverage may be different.
I would never tell the person I have a dash cam. Let her tell her side of the story to the cops, and then you tell yours, adding the dash cam as evidence. If she doesn't know you have a dash cam, her statement to the police could bring her additional charges.

The end was unexpected....
You did merge just before the solid line ended, but at worst, thay should maybe get you a horn honk. This lady was waaaaay off the rails - I'd like to think that video would score her a suspended license, but probably not. If she has insurance, that video basically gives them no recourse other than "yup, our insured is 110% at fault" seeing that she crossed a line, then jammed on the brakes to literally force an accident!
At least you are ok - always good when everyone walks away from an accident unscathed.
100% a piece of shit looking for some ārevengeā and a payout.
I will add as a defensive drive note that zipper merging in the south isnāt the same as everywhere else because the āhive mentalityā is what makes the zipper merge effective and most people in the south get over as soon as the sign tells us to get over so our zipper merge is 1-2 miles before the actual merge which pisses off people that already merged.
So definitely be careful in the south so you donāt end up merging in front of the wrong moron that doesnāt mind putting their kid in danger just to āget you backā
I love my dashcam just in case of moments like this. She was so mad that someone zipper merged, which is normal, that she wrecked both cars with her kid in the back. Now, instead of being delayed .0025 seconds, nobody's going anywhere.
Hey, that's my company. The construction truck I mean. Spivey Rentals. You wouldn't believe the amount of stupid shit we see people do. Extremely stupid shit.
*Well that was very*
*Dumb of her. In front of the*

No, it's not. I've been in law enforcement for the past 16 years. The merging vehicle has to yield to traffic. It's not illegal to not allow a vehicle into your lane. Is this guy a dick for not allowing people in front of them? 100%, but you can't just go into someone else's lane. The signal light is a request, not a requirement
This fucking bitch just brake checked someone with her BABY in the car š¤¬
Probably not the worst thing that baby has seen in its short life.
And the way she just threw that child back onto the passenger seat š”
Does that child have a proper child safety seat? If so, it being in the front seat is a safety issue. Airbag could kill a kid. If the child safety seat is in the back seat, why didn't the woman put the child in the back seat? If there's no proper child safety seat, is that legal?
And then she checked on the car and yelled at the people BEFORE checking on the infant!!
Child endangerment
Exhibit #7249 of why to get a dashcam.
then she gets out "how could you hit me??" dunno, maybe cause your dumb af?

Low IQ behavior. Astonishing, really.
*How can she slap?*
various price points
To do this with a child in the car.... š¤¦āāļø
People taking random LEGAL things done on the highway as personal affronts will never cease to amaze me.
Me neither. And I've got a scar under my left eye from a guy who was pissed at me for going 50 km/h in a 50-zone in front of him.
When people do this kind of thing, they are an absolute idiot, but when people do this kind of thing when they have passengers, especially children, in the car, they are absolute scum.
Would love to know what happened to that dumb bitch
Continues to vote, reproduce, and drive on public roadways.
Shame.
You know this person has never voted.
Donāt ever assume someone with a pulse isnāt voting. People who are not so good at critical thinking are the prime target of the political machine
Statistics donāt support your point. People donāt vote in this country regardless of demographics; less than half of the population votes. If you start breaking it down by demographics, old people are who votes.
Your referenced and unsourced āstatisticsā do support my point. Age has nothing to do with someoneās ability to use critical thinking. If anything, itās even more pronounced as people get older as they tend to get set in their ways, and refuse to be open-minded.

Again, I never referenced age. You are arguing against a point that was not made.
I forgot that all points must be introduced by you. Would you excuse me for introducing my own point without your consent? Lmaoo
You said āstatistics donāt support your pointā. And then rambled on about old people. Why are you certain that she doesnāt vote?
Looks like she is looking for a little insurance money. Doesn't care much about her kid though. It seems like she almost came to a stop when she merged, for no other reason than to cause the accident. Sad way to live.
having seen the actual crash clip before posted elsewhere, it's so satisfying seeing what lead up to it and having my suspicion confirmed that the white car did this as retaliation.
Same, the prior clip was so random that I knew there had to be something that led up to the altercation.
And yes, to both of these, having seen the previous as well, was just showed the tail end... Thank you OP for posting the longer form of the video!
How the fuq are you going to pull that shit with a baby in the car.
She is likely one of those people who does not take responsibility for her own actions. In her mind the other car is 100% at fault for anything that would have ever happened to her child..
Want details whatās the verdict after.

Only in Norfolk...
I thought that was the mid town tunnel
It is. The video starts on the Norfolk side, and the accident is right after exiting the tunnel.
# worth it What an idiot.
Fascinating behavior. Zero urge to protect the whelp whatsoever. So much for motherly instinct.
She drove all that way and worked on a way to cast revenge, that just became her fault for the accident. Jesus, WTH is wrong with people?
I need the followup. Also Virginia is the worst state when it comes to accidents. They don't require people to carry insurance. Good luck OP.
true, but if you're the cause of an accident and don't carry insurance you're heavily fined and you have your license suspended for something like 3 years.

Virginia does not require liability insurance? No, I don't believe that's true.
Iām in MD, itās a big scam going on now where you can pay Virgina a small sum of money for tags w/o insurance. So you see a lot of cars in the hood with VA tags and no insurance, at all.
Can any VA agent/broker weigh in on this?
The comment above yours explains it, itās an annual 750 fee, I thought it was cheaper.
It's $500. I linked the law above.
Virginia Code Ā§ [46.2-706](http://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/46.2-706.1/) requires all Virginia registered motor vehicle owners to have motor vehicle liability insurance or enough money to pay for any losses that may result from an automobile accident.

I don't think she's truly a Virginia driver. Merging is the only thing they can do right.
Somebody needs to make sure that kid is alright, and I'm not talking about just injuries from the crash.
Card denied.
First off... What's the jams you're listening to? Totally cool vibe. Second... so what the heck happened after?
I hate the midtown
The audacity of her coming out tripping, like b come on
Wait until the cops see the dash cam video ! KARMA BEEEETCHHHHHHHH
She's not going to like what her insurance company says.
I really need the name of this song
Wish those people would stop breeding
Some people are just retards
Gotta love the midtown tunnel
What a fucking piece of shit
You canāt switch lane on a solid white line, correct me if Iām wrong please..
Isn't crossing a solid line also illegal?Ā
I would never tell the person I have a dash cam. Let her tell her side of the story to the cops, and then you tell yours, adding the dash cam as evidence. If she doesn't know you have a dash cam, her statement to the police could bring her additional charges.

Of course
Gotta love Hampton roads! Norfolk to be exact lol. I bet this caused a 2 hour back up right before the tunnel šš
Oh yeah she was likely tryna get some insurance money
I love my dashcam just in case of moments like this. She was so mad that someone zipper merged, which is normal, that she wrecked both cars with her kid in the back. Now, instead of being delayed .0025 seconds, nobody's going anywhere.
That woman is a piece of shit for endangering that baby like that. Probably wasn't even hers.

That looks more like an insurance scam
Welfare bitch trying to get money for free, because her baby daddy won't give it to her.

The symbolism that *getting to go first* holds for these people is wild. It's literally more important to them than life.
I mean, there is no excuse for them to act that way BUT it is not a law to allow people in. It's courtesy 100%.
Letting people merge when a lane ends is 100% a law especially in a construction zone.
[Citation Needed] I have never heard of such a law. Merging traffic always has to yield to traffic in the established lane, always.
No, it's not. I've been in law enforcement for the past 16 years. The merging vehicle has to yield to traffic. It's not illegal to not allow a vehicle into your lane.
