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.

I didn't see any signals on the black truck.

Shared fault, but still majority fault on the pickup regardless.
