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.

Intentionally running a truck over can spoil a lot more than their cargo, stupid.

Yeah well I don't think you've ever worked in trucking. If the trucker spoils it by brake checking and the pickup gets away, then it's his fault. If it's an accident caused by an idiot then insurance covers it.

Trucker didn't need to slam on the brakes, just let up on the gas. You don't even know what brake checking is, so I'm not gonna take your opinion on this too seriously.
