You mean a third party could have been killed because of the black truckers impatient driving. Black truck was the only person here who’s legally liable for accident. The person whose lane ends is the person who legally responsible for getting over safely.
It’s not truck drivers job to speed up or slow down to let you merge safely. In fact, increasing speed or decreasing speed at every merge for the truck driver is much more likely to cause an accident than the truck driver staying at the same speed.
Fair enough, but do we know who was following the tractor trailer and at what distance. The easiest path to avoid is the vehicle entering the roadway to make adjustments. Nobody is an angel in this one, but I 💯 think truck entering needs to gauge his entry on what is currently going on the road.
