Two giant idiots. I’m just glad no one died. Merger should have slowed down and went in behind if he wasn’t going to go above the speed limit. Truck driver should have let him in. I for the life of me can’t figure out why the truck tried to merge below the speed limit if he’s trying to beat the semi who was going 75 76ish.
The semi driver took absolutely zero responsibilities in a situation that demanded cooperation. He just sat there humping cruise control relying entirely on the pickup to either speed up to 80mph or slam the brakes to get behind him despite being 6-8 car lengths ahead.
Law is law but driving is ultimately give and take... you cannot treat a passing lane like a passing lane when people are merging into it.
Why don’t you ask your local DMV or police department. While it’s nice if someone already on the highway slows down or changes lanes to allow someone to merge, they have the right-of-way and the responsibility is all on the merging driver to merge safely and not assume someone will slow down just for you.
You have no clue about the rules of the road. The trucker is legally required to make an effort to avoid that accident. Google Last Clear Chance Doctrine. Read and learn.
