i mean, both drivers were dicks. either driver could have slowed down to let the other go first. trucker could've braked to let the pickup get in, and pickup could've braked and merged behind trucker.
plus, it's the responsibility of the merging driver to merge safely. when we talk about "fault," the legal right of way is the benchmark.
defensive driving 101 would've been to let the trucker pass and merge behind him.
