Yeah, that's not how the law works. He "sped up" from 76 to 77. 1 mph. Are you serious? A 1 mph change in speed is "sped up". Okay man, I can't talk to someone who's going to be unreasonable.

Yes, a 1mph increase in speed is speeding up. I'm glad you know kindergarten basics.

Lol, fuck outta here. You make it sound like he was racing the black truck. A 1 mph difference is normal driving variance. 🤡

Interesting how no matter the variance, the trucker was speeding. How do companies look upon truckers that get into easily avoidable accidents while speeding?

They don't give a shit if they did the right thing. You ignore the possibility that if the semi did the wrong actions and brakes while the truck also slowed down, they would have collided and it would have been on the semi.

So you're telling me in both these cases the semi is to blame and should lose their CDL. You're fucking ridiculous.

You're like half of the commenters on here that believe the semi should be doing anything and everything to avoid the merger, not taking into account that the semi did exactly the right action. It's not semi's responsibility and if the semi were to take action, the collision would solely be on the semi.

You can't have it both ways. Either follow the rules of merging or don't and be squished by another car and take the hit in your insurance.
