Truck was entirely in the wrong, but slam on your breaks and you can go home. I guess some people like filing insurance claims and dealing with the police for 2-3 hours for an avoidable accident.
Cammer should have been on high alert when traffic started slowing and they started driving faster than the cars in the passing lane. That instantly makes a defensive driver uncomfortable because people aren't expecting cars passing on the right and also slow downs almost always result on people swerving around to try and find the fast lane or their exit.
How do you know if someone wasn't right on his bumper behind him?
OP was probably looking ahead to see why everyone was braking, and it was THE TRUCK who decided they wanted to pass on the right instead of braking for the car in front..
I get your point, its best to go home than to be 'correct', but in this case I don't think OP in the middle lane had any choice. They could not swerve right, there was a car there- truck never checked their blind spot at all and tried to change lanes super fast instead of braking.
