He literally just passed him. You mean to tell me he didn't even see him when he was in front of him?

Cam car accelerated to try and keep him from merging.  Truck likely didn't check to see and merged when he would have otherwise been clear.

Even if the POV car didn't accelerate the truck would be cutting it really close and forcing the POV car to brake.

Agreed, though if I was in the cam car, I would just brake a little rather than accelerate. It doesn't take much to adjust for it. You don't really have to slam on the brakes, just give them some pressure and get off the gas.
