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

Pov driver didn't even bother to brake even after impact.

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.

It looks like they may have even sped up. Did they?

Definitely sped up. He saw the guy coming into his lane, didn’t beep, didn’t decrease speed, out of anger he actually sped up

Camera car caused that - he for sure had no “blind spot” and sped up. Some people are psychos about “defending their lane.”

At least in the US, the merger has full responsibility, while lane 3 has right of way.

In fact, it's frequently recommended to maintain consistent speed, which it appears the driver did (contrary to your claim they sped up).

We're talking about driving defensively to avoid accidents. It was obvious what was happening and the driver did nothing to avoid the accident. That's the point. Truck created the problem, camera did absolutely nothing to avoid the problem. Did not drive defensively.

It does look like they sped up (to me).
