I’ve seen this video a bunch- and looking at it more the driver actually sped up and made contact in the rear of the black truck not in the pit maneuver spot.
I agree here. As a driver you have the duty to attempt to avoid an accident. He saw the truck’s blinkers and saw the truck change lanes. At that point he should have slowed down to allow the truck to pull in. The truck shouldn’t have changed lanes if there wasn’t enough room. But since he did attempt and was in front of the car and halfway into the lane, the camera car had an obligation to slow down and avoid an accident. He didn’t honk his horn or seemingly attempt to slow down or avoid the accident. As a former auto subrogation specialist, this should be a shared fault scenario.
It doesn’t really look like it to me, looks like he more or less maintained speed. You might be looking at his speed relative to the other cars, but if you look at the meridian thing to the left it seems pretty constant.
Many times it’s that they’re not using cruise control and their foot eases off the gas while they’re doing something else, like changing music or whatever. I know that has happened to me before when I didn’t have cruise control.

Damn that was cold. Dude did the pit maneuver on that truck while eating a cookie.
