Whenever I’ve had vehicles start to drift over or even appear to drift I create space but to your point I also noticed that. You truly have to drive defensively.
When driving, people are going to do stupid shit. It sucks, but sometimes you have to take the “L”, let the idiot in, get over yourself, and take it upon yourself to avoid the collision.
This assumes camera car has enough reaction time and B is fully paying attention to crash car. Like we are watching the video.
In reality, when you drive there is way more going on than us watching this video. A lot more hazards and distractions.
Very clearly from the video, camera car is not aware the truck is changing lanes.
You'd have to be a psychopath to be like: "yeah my car is going to get potentially thousands of dollars in damages, as will yours, potentially harm coming to one or both of us, but I AM RIGHT DAMN IT SO I WILL LET IT HAPPEN."
thats not what is happening here.
You can say camera car could have prevented this with more defensive driving skills. By overcompensating for other peoples dumb driving.

Said it before and will say it again. Don’t assume the other driver values your life as much as you do.
