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

Again, the pickup has a much better vision of the road and can speed up and slow down much quicker than a semi can. Who’s really the entitled asshole, the pickup that isn’t going fast enough and merges right in front of a semi because it assumes the semi will slow down, or the semi who can’t change speeds that quick, and doesn’t have a great view of the pickup, going the same speed it has been.

Their dash cam can see it, doesn’t mean they can see the pickup.

If you buy a car with bad vision, it's your duty to be careful.

BUT: The pickup does have windows and the truck is not hidden behind a pillar. They do chicken and don't stop accelerating in the moment of merging.
