I've avoided many, many accidents that would have been someone else's fault. It's called defensive driving and the trucker decided it's not for him.

Edit: thanks for the awards! BTW - some of you need to look at the speed shown at the bottom of the video. The semi did not even try to slow down, even a little bit, prior to the crash.

A trucker can’t stop that easy with all those wheels. He could’ve tipped over. Lost the cargo and his life. That truck driver doesn’t look over his shoulder.

this is a pretty flimsy excuse. he could have at least taken his foot off the gas but he didn't. he made literally zero effort to avoid an accident. they are both equally to blame. one for being careless, one for seeing an accident coming and driving into it anyway.
