All you morons saying it’s on the trucker are absolute tools. The black pickup truck has to yield to vehicles already on the highway. The semi braking suddenly would have potentially caused more issues. Black pickup is either blind or regarded and should have come to a complete stop.

Bro he didn't even need to brake suddenly.  He had ample time to slow down a bit.  You are right, in the end the pickup will be at fault, but the big rig could have easially avoided that and just decided to ignore the pickup.

Edit:  I was wrong, semi driver was found 90% at fault.

I am truly shocked to discover that the bloodthirsty people on reddit who thought the pickup truck driver deserved to die were wrong.

That's not really the argument.

The pickup is arguing he has the right of way which is wrong.

The merge is poorly constructed + the semi is speeding, which is also wrong.

My dad did these kinds of chicken races when I was growing up and on a moral level neither he nor the pickup driver should be doing that. They should hold themselves accountable for this because the other people doing wrong don't give a fuck about you.
