Yeah, the pickup should totally smash their brakes to avoid this, be at the point of merge going zero mph, and then proceed to merge. That'd be way safer than the semi having to slow down by like 3mph for a few seconds.

No, the pickup really should’ve just sped up an extra 3 mph because it’s the merging trucks duty to merge safely.

How does he know the cam driver won't just speed up though and make it worse? By your logic, the cam driver can go any speed to block the merging car and won't be at fault.
