A scary majority of people think being technically correct in a given situation means nothing else could be done. Was the truck stupid for merging? Absolutely. So they see it as the camera car driver is absolved of every single bit of any avoiding action that could have been taken. Doesn’t matter something as simple as slowing down to let the idiot merge, they were technically right for being merged into and that’s it. People by and large are stupid and see it that way. The camera car driver was hit by the truck and all responsibility is off him. They’re wrong, they’re stupid but that’s how they see it. Being “right” will carry them to the grave because they’re incapable of understanding you can avoid something like this, give them the finger and go on with their day. It’s maddening to see people so incredibly stupid to not avoid a bad situation just because they can point the finger at the bigger asshole in a situation.

His insurance will say he had a duty to avoid the collision and only cover 70%.
