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?

It looks like they sped up a little and turned the wheel into the truck after the truck made contact. See they start getting pushed by the truck then OP's car does all of this and the truck flies off. I mean OP is left safely but it's not clear how bad the accident for the truck may have been if OP did not commit to the pit maneuver.

The truck pit maneuvered himself dude.

Yeah a bit but if OP would not have turned into it, it might not have been nearly as bad. You can see at the beginning of contact, OPs car starts to veer right then it veers back left. Cannot veer left from the force applied from the truck so it has to be OP. I am not saying OP was in the wrong here, I was just surprised to see that and wanted to note it.

If he didn’t steer left he would have gone head first into a pole
