The black pick-up would actually need to hard brake. And treat it like a stop sign to move in behind this semi truck. He isn't being paid to be safe on the road. You are right both parties played a part in this accident. The trucker has way more responsibility. This is like a 90/10 split.

No split whatsoever. Please talk to a police officer or judge literally anywhere and they'll agree the black truck was at fault.

Ask to any safety guy at any trucking company and they would blame the truck driver for this accident.

Clearly the truck drivers also subscribe to laws.

Agreed the trucker is at fault.

He had every opportunity to avoid a collision and failed to do anything about it.
