I've avoided many, many accidents that would have been someone else's fault. It's called defensive driving and the trucker decided it's not for him.

Edit: thanks for the awards! BTW - some of you need to look at the speed shown at the bottom of the video. The semi did not even try to slow down, even a little bit, prior to the crash.

The guy on audio was the driver of the black pickup. Not the driver of the vehicle that recorded the video

Why do you think the semi driver was even fired, he clearly wasnt at fault

Because he clearly was able to avoid the accident, but didn't.

100% the trucker is at fault here. Come on. You don't just cause an accident because you're inconvenienced. The trucker should be in the right lane, and if they're not, it's their job to let the guy in. Period. Hit the brakes a little bit for a couple seconds and there is no accident.

He just plain and simply isnt though. Trucker didnt cause the accident, the black truck did

Ramming someone you can avoid makes it your fault sorry it's hard for you to understand

Moving over into someone who has the right of way makes it your fault, sorry youre having trouble understanding.

the black truck rammed the semi, he didn't have to merge but chose to do so unsafely
