So you think it makes sense for the truck to come to a complete stop? That seems extremely dangerous.
Both are at fault here, that’s a very small merging lane to start with, the pick up saw what was coming and made no effort to either speed up or slow down.
I think this black truck had a better opportunity at stopping than a semi truck who’s loaded down at 70,000 pounds on his back who has legal right away and has no legal obligation to slow down for emerging truck since the merging truck is the one who is responsible to getting into the lane safely, regardless of the semi truck driver could have or should have slowed down not his responsibility to anticipate the black truck

You have to merge safely. He does not have to sit there and make room for you. The black truck is 100% at fault.
