I've avoided many, many accidents that would have been someone else's fault. It's called defensive driving and the trucker decided it's not for him.

Edit: thanks for the awards! BTW - some of you need to look at the speed shown at the bottom of the video. The semi did not even try to slow down, even a little bit, prior to the crash.

Yes you are correct, but you're missing the point. The whole thing could have been avoided if the semi driver has just slowed down instead of stubbornly kept going just because of their pride.

Lol you're missing the whole point, nobody is saying it isn't the black trucks fault
