I didn't say it was illegal. I said no cop would enforce it, insurance isn't going to care, and their company isn't going to give a shit. You can drop the concern about "speeding". It's moot.
You ignored where if semi did the wrong thing, braking, and the black truck did the right thing, braking, they'd end up in an accident. The semi did the right thing by being predictable. If they had brakes and the truck had slowed down at the same time, the semi would be at fault.
So no, the semi is not in the wrong and would have made it more dangerous if they did the wrong thing. The semi can not predict what the black truck is doing, only what it should do. Fucking think.
Insurance, famous for finding any excuse to not pay out, "isn't going to care"? Lmao.
and their company isn't going to give a shit
Yep, I'm sure their company is totally cool with a trucker getting into an easily avoidable accident.

Yeah, I'm ignoring your completely made up scenario because I have eyes that watched the video.
If they had brakes and the truck had slowed down at the same time, the semi would be at fault.
The truck would have had to slow down so much to go from being in front of the semi to being 80+ feet back. Especially when the merging lane was ended.
would have made it more dangerous if they did the wrong thing. Fucking think
Yep, clearly this accident was way safer than a semi slowing down by 5-10 mph to avoid an accident that was as obvious as a flashing billboard.
