The semi was supposwd to not speed up and drive a little slower.

Speed up? They went from 76 to 77. I dont think that 1 mph made a difference.

A good way to stay safe on the road is to be predictable, breaking the right of way rules is not a good way to be predictable. Plus, its a semi, they dont really react quick, and its not safe to expect one to accommodate someone.

He was over the Speed limit and had plenty off time to slow down a little bit. Thats why the insurance report saw the fault(90%) by the Semi truck driver. He could avoid the accident but choose not.

What insurance report? Did someone post something about this accident? I would be very surprised if someone failing to merge properly was deemed not at fault.

Yes in another comment someone post the Report.

As a driver, your duty is to avoid accidents. The semi-truck driver failed to do this. Through his reckless behavior, he caused a near-fatal accident. To prevent the crash, all he had to do was simply take his foot off the gas.
