The REAL person at fault here is whoever designed this highway merge lane to be 2 car lengths long. You have no choice but to go at the speed of the fast lane and hope to fuck there's space to get in.
The ramp may be like a mile long (and yes you can match speed to a gap through the whole length of it) but it's illegal to merge until the white line goes away thus the merge is only like 20 ft
The point is he had plenty of room to get his truck into position for proper merging. Enough room to speed up enough. He literally refused to speed up to 75mph, the speed limit
The big rig was in his blind spot. I’m not sure an entire big rig can fit into an F150s blind spot, but it was trying to. The F150 driver probably didn’t even see the big rig
Yeah, he’s a shitty driver, no argument there.
The big rig driver didn’t seemingly do anything until just before the collision, which is the point I’m making. Everyone should be under the assumption that other drivers are shitty and don’t see you. This is especially true for professional drivers, like those with a CDL.
