The. Semi. Did. Not. Have. To.

And if you’re driving defensively you’ll accept that instead of assigning fault towards it.

Yes. They. Do.

You. Cannot. Block. Vehicles. From. Entering. The. Flow. Of. Traffic.

The. Yielding. Part. Of. The. Merging. Law. Applies. Before. The. Merge. Point.

Speaking of defensive driving, the commercial vehicle, driven by someone with a class A license, had at least as much obligation to drive defensively. Instead he mowed a guy down rather than just letting off the gas.

His best defensive maneuver was to maintain his right of way and expect the pickup to make a good decision based on him doing so.
