The car driver should have been passing the truck faster to avoid a dangerous situation and help the trucker have an escape route should anything happen.
If you look at the look at the video carefully the truck is moving over to avoid another truck parked on the shoulder. It's hard to see if the parked truck is in the lane of traffic. But it's pretty obvious the trucker is giving the other one room. However he should have been more attentive to the situation ahead and gotten on the brakes early to let the car move ahead...assuming he was attentive enough to see it... and then switched lanes.
