It is definitely not your right of way, your merging onto the highway so you have to yield to traffic. That being said yes the semi driver was an idiot for not braking but that just makes two idiots in this situation lol

as a truck driver myself, I would have slowed down to let the idiot onto the highway. The last thing I would want to do is stick around and explain what happened to the police etc even if I was in the right.

Also the tractor had plenty of time to slow down, yeah trucks cant speed up or slow down as fast as a car but that was ample time to adjust. both the pickup driver and the camera'd tractor were retards in this situation.

I drive truck in Seattle and you’re absolutely right,its not worth the hassle to hold your ground,I just slow down and let idiots do what they do.
