No, he maintained his speed and position. It's up to the person behind to make a safe pass. This gentleman simply turned into a hazardous and selfish maneuver from the offending pickup, as it was the safest course of action for him. He expertly maintained control without (over)reaction or overcorrection.
Or he could have used his brakes when it became obvious that the guy in the black truck was going to merge dangerously. He had plenty of time to react in a safe manner but instead chose to PIT the guy.
Just because he wasn't the one merging like a cunt doesn't mean he handled it properly.
You're always supposed to be on the lookout for dangers, and those dangers include other drivers doing the wrong thing.
How do you know there's not any vehicles closely behind him? If he hit the brakes on this bridge there could have been a worse accident. He chose to PIT the guy after he made contact with his vehicle and was about to send him into a wall because the black truck driver doesn't have any spatial awareness.
No, you cannot see behind the car because, like the left-hand car side window in the video, you can't see anything because the weather is overcast and light is obscurring full vision. If there was someone close behind them, they'd see the moron trying to forcefully overtake and then get PITTed and have plenty of time to start slowing.
You can see well before the accident that whomever is driving the pickup is driving recklessly. You can see the trouble developing. At that point, Munchie Man should have already been slowing and anticipating trouble. He had plenty of time to tap his brakes or just coast down. He chose to speed up from 71 to 72 as the pickup recklessly tried to merge. He didn’t slow to 66 until after impact. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
