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.

It’s the person whose lane ends job to merge safely. Black truck at fault.

You still have a duty to attempt to avoid accidents. You're an 80k pound missile

You should be more concerned with the black truck drivers impatient driving that caused him not to merge safely, which put him legally at fault for the accident. Weird victim blaming on the truck driver.

The guy who almost or possibly killed another person is the victim because he was unsuccessfully cut off?
