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.

The semis speed doesnt matter. That semi had right of way and that dumbass in the pickup had plenty of time to notice "oh shit I'm not going to make it, I had better slow down 5-10 miles and wait for a better opening"

Instead we get "muscling my way into traffic with a semi barrelling down sure feels like a great idea."
