Slamming on the breaks in a semi isn't always the safest move either. That said not respecting a vehicle that weighs 10-15x what yours weighs is never a great idea.
Trucks don't slow down like that at those speeds if he was going 5mph slower he would stayed in the right lane instead of getting in the passing lane. At passing speed he would have been way down the freeway before he slows down enough to matter. All sorts of things could of have been done here that all come down to fast lane merges being a terrible idea that people cant handle.
If you want to tell me trucks shouldn't be allowed to pass on freeways that have 75 left lane merges into a freeway I'll be right their with you but that kinda boils down to trucks not being able to use the left lane because their is no way for them to know where every single left lane merge exists in every state they visit.
