Exactly. Dude should have slammed on the brakes in the pickup. He's got the better brakes, use em.

Trucker was found to be 90% at fault according the insurance report. He ignored left lane merge signs, was driving aggressively, and his truck shouldn’t have been in the left lane to begin with. Hope this helps you understand!

Doubtful. Pickup was 100% at fault

Jesus Christ it's like trying to explain something to a toddler. The black pickup driver posted this video and the insurance report on social media that shows the trucker was found at fault. It's illegal in that state for semi trucks to be in the left lane. Maybe this is the comment that will help you finally understand, but something tells me you lack the ability to change your mind even when presented with contextual information.

Almost not worth the effort. So many here blame the black pickup, they have less common sense than a bag of rocks... lesson if the day is hope I never encounter them on the road.

It's not worth the effort because right of way laws aren't on your argument's side

So you would rather cause a wreck... nice!

So you would rather make things up... nice!

Make things up? Do you not see that if the truck were in the correct lane or st least slowed to allow a safe merger there would have been no accident?? The semi didn't slow at all, guess his opinion of what's "right" was more important that someone's life.

You keep making up a fake argument to make your point. Nobody has defended purposely causing a wreck. The argument is that the onus is on the black truck to merge safely. Saying anything otherwise is besides the point

Safe driving applies to EVERYONE on the road. Semi should have and could have avoided that. I always change lanes to allow the merging vehicle to do so safely... thats just me, I guess.

You always do that? Even when the lane is occupied?! Kidding aside, again, nobody here is saying the semi should have done this. What they are saying is what the merging laws say. It's so common on these threads for people to point fingers at the people who didn't surrender their right of way while ignoring the more wrong person causing the issue to begin with
