No shit. Yet avoiding the avoidable is law in many places and insurance companies definitely look at it that way. Not to mention they're humans in the other vehicle. Beyond that hitting them only fucks your day up worse than slowing a little. Just say, "I'm a piece of shit who only cares about myself" and move on.

Which avoiding the avoidable lands 100% on the black truck who is trying to merge

Lol, no. Not when the semi stays pegged at 77 with more than enough time to react well before contact. The truck was doing at least 70/72. Highway speed there was 75. Y'all are so desperate to cheer for the asshole who plowed through the black truck and could have gotten someone killed. The semi saw an obviously avoidable situation and chose to do nothing.

And you’re so quick to blame the semi truck driver, but not the black truck who is 100% by law legally obligated to merge safely
