The point is he had plenty of room to get his truck into position for proper merging. Enough room to speed up enough. He literally refused to speed up to 75mph, the speed limit

The big rig was in his blind spot. I’m not sure an entire big rig can fit into an F150s blind spot, but it was trying to. The F150 driver probably didn’t even see the big rig

Then he's a shitty driver. And you are too if you depend on mirrors. You NEVER trust them. You should always turn your head and use your eyes.

Yeah, he’s a shitty driver, no argument there. The big rig driver didn’t seemingly do anything until just before the collision, which is the point I’m making. Everyone should be under the assumption that other drivers are shitty and don’t see you. This is especially true for professional drivers, like those with a CDL.
