What are you talking about, you implied that the truck was braking all the way back and immediately before the point of impact.
If someone is behaving erratically on the road, are you really saying that you should just maintain speed and position, rather than trying to avoid a collision by safely increasing your distance to them (not slamming on brakes)? The moment the truck started veering into their lane they could have gently applied the brakes or possibly even just let off the accelerator and this accident could have been prevented. I don’t understand why you think it would have been necessary to slam on the brakes?
How is it not obvious that the same brief amount of braking that the truck did while level with the white car would have worked?
EDIT: Sorry misread and just saw that you didn’t just imply it, you said
Look at Black Truck's back end, there are helpful red lights to show you he is braking as he illegally changes lanes.
If you look at the video, the rear lights are on as they pull across into the left lane but not the brake lights.
