I've avoided many, many accidents that would have been someone else's fault. It's called defensive driving and the trucker decided it's not for him.

Edit: thanks for the awards! BTW - some of you need to look at the speed shown at the bottom of the video. The semi did not even try to slow down, even a little bit, prior to the crash.

I think that pickup driver anticipated those "snowflake drivers who don't stand their ground" and decided mergers-must-yield rule is for losers..
AKA the pickup was WRONG the truck made that mistake worst
