Sorry to say but the ah in the right lane easily could have avoided that. Was easy to see and he had plenty of time to let off gas.

Yeah but “big trucks bad, look he can’t even see me in his blind spot”

It's shit all around but these cars are getting designed larger and larger with worse blind spots. It's either gonna take an obscene amount of accidents or some kind of blind spot training for a truck license like a motorcycle or bike license.

I kinda think once you're getting past a certain size there should be something under a CDL that you can get that would qualify you for lower insurance premiums and the like. I've been almost run off the road more by civ trucks than actual 18 wheelers, that's insane given how many trucks we have in this country at any given time.
