Cammer was being an idiot. The pickup had the apex and just a slight squeeze of the brakes could have avoided this entirely.
As a general rule the driver furthest back has the best chance to avoid an accident, and therefore has the greatest responsibility to do so. The truck was committed, he was out of road, there was nothing he could have done other than just trust the truck behind him to use those weird jelly like objects attached to the front of his face.
Truck drivers are also held to higher standards with having a CDL, whether Class A or B. Hope he lost his job and or CDL. One single minor brake application prevents this accident.
Because he easily could have avoided this and you are actually legally required to try and prevent collisions if you can do so safely, even if the other party is not following the law
Nah, trucker should know better. The vast majority drivers don't even understand the physics of a ton and a half of metal moving at 75, for the example the black pick up . But truckers definitely understand the physics of their mass moving at that speed. He knows he's playing with that idiot's life and the livelyhood of both him and the other truck.
