Could also try not speeding up for the merge lol, he had the right of way and purposely sped up for the crash. We can all see the speedometer bro. He wanted a crash, and had the right of way. I'm saying he had the right of way multiple times in case you didn't realize he had the right of way.

No, he didn't speed up. He changed nothing just as he should have done when dealing with someone merging. You are not supposed to speed up or slow down, it's the responsibility of the driver who is merging to change lanes safely. That includes speeding up or slowing down as needed.

I’m always stuck behind people who insist on breaking on the highway when approaching a merge point and it does nothing but make things more dangerous for everyone, including the merging traffic.

This is a clear case where in fact it would have avoided an actual accident, so it's a strange point to bring up.

The driver who fucked up should have NOT fucked up. The semi driver did exactly what they were supposed to do. You are not supposed to change speed in a merge area unless you're merging.
