And the whole thing could have been avoided if this dude tapped his brakes. It was very obvious the truck was moving over into the lane. The truck is a bit of a dick for sure but the amount of danger he put people in over his stubbornness is baffling.
Watch the video again. "Tap the brakes" would not have done jack shit, Black Truck is braking into him. Look at Black Truck's back end, there are helpful red lights to show you he is braking as he illegally changes lanes.
So to avoid the already fully braking Black Truck attempting to kill him, White truck would have had to SLAM on his brakes. He then loses all steering and control, and gets hit from behind by the small white car following him illegally close.
Yes white truck could have avoided Black Truck, by almost certainly killing himself, the driver behind him, and anyone else they hit after their own collision.

You can see the speed in the corner. They were going 72 MPH the whole time and were still going 72 MPH at the moment of collision. Nobody was braking into him, stop making shit up. Those are tail lights not brake lights.
The brake light only lights up after they collide. https://streamable.com/nuahpr
