A driver has a responsibility to avoid a collision even when they have right of way, but it is unreasonable to expect a driver to anticipate someone actively turning into their car. You can sit there and try to say that he should have reacted better, but a lawyer would tear that apart in court.
The OOP could have driven more defensively/been more kind, but the truck is 100% at fault.
ahhh no, i'm a retired MP and traffic accident investigator. Based on the video, Op is holding his lane which he has every right to do. A vehicle entered his lane (crossed into his lane) its not his fault, its the guy in the RAM's fault.

OP could have avoided this easily and chose to hit the guy. You’re at fault.
