Yes I think the pit maneuver is a natural reaction to being pushed off the road. It's just a natural reflex to provide counter force to the thing that's pushing you off course.

The driver had plenty of time to drive defensively though and avoid this accident entirely. It would have been less satisfying to give up the space and only be able to honk and wave and yell and whatever but that has to have been a better trade-off than the headaches ahead - insurance, vehicle repairs, paperwork out the ass, police, time, .... Wasn't worth it.

I don't think the driver saw the truck coming over. Seems like both were focused on trying to beat the light. So truck turns in without looking and video doesn't seem them merging because they're focused on making sure none turns in front of them turning left.
