Yes it is very easy to sit here and say I would have done this that or the other thing when in fact you may not have. In real life panic could set in and the driver not do anything at all but sit and watch.
On the other hand we are just seeing it from a frozen start point and making the call upon on that. If paying attention the driver may well have seen the truck coming down the right side well before it hit the intersection and got the hell over and out of the way. Things like this happen all the time and people avoid them. If the driver had taken that option then the video would probably not exist since it would have ended as a non event.
Even as it is, the driver had time to realize what was happening and stop. In that same time they could have gone right and around that black car to the far right lane that was wide open.
You guys are over analyzing what was put up just to show that motoring out of the way is
sometimes an option. I do not see how it was not an option here. Now whether it would be seen as one at the time that depends on the awareness and reaction of the driver.
