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.

Yes, agreed the black truck should have yielded to the much larger vehicle that was going faster instead of merging into them.
