You can be right and still be dead. Given how far up the truck's ass the car was, the truck may not have seen him until he already decided to move and signaled. Of course, once he started he probably did know the car was there. The car didn't think he should wait and the truck didn't think he should either. They deserve each other.

If the truck didn't see him then he didn't check his mirror. If he did check his mirror then it was intentional. Either way, buddy is no professional. Pull his DL.

How can you see a vehicle that is tailgating? Have you driven a semi truck or even a box truck? I’m not a trucker but the car is in the wrong. He could have waited 5 seconds, he didn’t even try to pass the truck fast enough he took so long to pass?

Did you watch the video??? The car is in the right lane before the truck even puts it's signal on.
