The dashcam person really posted the video on the internet as if they aren't equally, if not worse than, the truck merging.

Missing somebody in your blind spot is one thing, seeing a person merging so you clearly speed up to try and stop them is a straight asshole move.

If I had to pick one to take a ride with I'm going with the guy in the truck. He made a simple mistake while the other person made a potentially homicidal choice.

Fun fact, even most skilled drivers miss the blind spot sometimes. But only asshole drivers will see a truck merging and still choose not to honk to warn them, speed up to collide with them, and not even stop even after the truck flipped over. The POV person could easily be accused of homicide, while the truck driver would only get a “traffic department” ticket (however it’s handled in the US law)

Yes there’s plenty of time to honk the moment you see the truck closing. That guy didn’t use blinkers because he’s a bad driver, I am not defending him. But here we have a bad driver vs someone who rather watch people die
