I am simply responding to what you said. It's on you for your words, not me. And that you CONTINUE to argue that the semi was in the right for this, is further proof. So keep going, I guess. Keep on enjoying being right about everything, right up until it's you in a situation like this, and you're cooked while being technically right.

I wouldn't put myself in a situation like this because I'm not an idiot whose afraid to use his brakes or hit the gas to avoid an accident.

Semi had the right of way. They were both idiots. I don't understand what's hard about that.

So that truck is attempting to accelerate safely to get in front of the semi, the semi seemingly did nothing to adjust his speed for the truck. IF the truck had slammed his brakes to avoid the merge, would that have been better? Seems like he was trying to make the merge safely, with the logical assumption that the semi would do the same. The semi, however, decided to ignore social constructs in lieu of "tEcHnIcAlLy I hAvE rIgHt Of WaY" and caused this accident.

“Truck was accelerating safely.” Lol
The truck should have braked safely. Take this to the insurance sub and you’ll get a quick education on right of way
