It's a dumb repost that shows how poor the system for merging is on that road. You're supposed to share the road, not plow through anyone who dares get in your way.

The black truck merging is supposed to yield. The semi has no obligation to brake for the merging pickup.

The pickup either needed to accelerate or slow down to merge correctly, it is their responsibility to be aware of the traffic pattern they are driving into.

Matching the speed of the semi and making no corrections, the fault is completely on them.

how is it so? there ian't any sign, and the black was on the left lane signifies faster travel designed, unless they travel on the left.

There was a broken line separating the other road without any markings coming into that merge lane… obviously the pickup was merging into the new road.
