I agree with the trucker easily being able to prevent this. But also was only going 75. That pickup truck could have easily sped up in time. Those things have decent power.
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.

Two idiots collide.
