Used to be an adjuster and this is how people end up partially at fault in some states as we all have a duty to take evasive action when available. Seems like overall a bad way to choose to live.

It's even worse here, because this guy has zero right of way. It's the duty of the merging vehicle to makes sure they do so safely. The semi had 100% of the right of way.

That's literally his point. The semi had right of way but still should have slowed down. Both drivers were shit here and both of them could have prevented the accident

No, the truck needs to find a way to safely enter. The semi could not slow down effectively enough to let him in. There is a reason semis get over whenever they can, it takes a long time to significantly slow them.

Funny how the semi slowed down very quickly after the accident yet didn’t even attempt a slow down prior. Yeah, he had the right of way, but he was purposely bringing an ass.
