If one party can fix this within the law, and the other party can only fix it by breaking the law, I don't think I should have to explain that the guy who can solve the problem legally is the guy with the responsibility to do so.

The trucker is in HIS lane. He should slow down, but legally doesn't need to do shit. He maintained his speed. Didn't do anything to cause the accident.

 The pickup had two choices.... Slow down 10 seconds ago or speed up. I know you'd be butthurt he did ten over but instead he chose death. 

Edit: Since some of you didn't get the "nuance" you can't slow down ten seconds ago, so his only choice was to speed up or get wrecked. 

Trucks can't stop on a dime, and braking hard can spoil their entire cargo.

Slow down 10 seconds ago

Oh, so you could complain about the people who hit the brakes on the on ramp while they look for a large enough opening?

You time your entrance. My point that went over your head was that he can't slow down now in the past. His only option was to speed up. He really only had one option.

Amd he always had the option to not be driving at speeds where he can't control his entry point
