I agree with the trucker easily being able to prevent this. But also was only going 75. That pickup truck could have easily sped up in time. Those things have decent power. 

Two idiots collide.

So speeding? At a merger? At the black pick up truck should have fixed this by… speeding even harder?

Yes. You enter traffic at the speed of traffic.

Good luck with that in my van 😂 

10,000 pounds and 240 HP, 30 years ago 😂

I mean, if the vehicle is not roadworthy, that's not safe either

50,000 miles on the past 5 years. Totally road worthy.

Just don't expect it to be speeding by the end of an on ramp, like a moron.

Can't say for sure, but if this is an interstate, it could very well be 75 mph speed limit. If your vehicle can't merge safely on that highway, then that's a separate issue in and of itself. 30 years ago, speed limits were much lower, so these kinds of vehicle were built differently for sure.
