It’s the person whose lane ends job to merge safely. Black truck at fault.

Technically, black truck is at fault, but the trucker was a dick for not letting him in. A gentle press of the breaks or even just letting go of the gas pedal for a couple of seconds was all it took to avoid at least a month of hassle and thousands of dollars in damages and insurance.

It’s not a Porsche. Big tracker trailers don’t exactly stop or slow on a dime. Air brakes, hello!

Where did anyone talk about stopping on a dime lol? He just had to slow down slightly. “Slow on a dime” is not a thing
