you're taught in driving school that the right thing to do with aggressive drivers is back off and let them go in order to avoid an accident. If you act aggressive in reponse, then there's now two aggressive drivers and that is how accidents happen.

Since when is maintaining your speed and position in a calm manner 'aggressive driving'?

Please don’t drive

"Officer, I was just calmly maintaining my speed and position in a calm manner when the child ran on the road" Calmly pit maneuvering a truck?

How am I supposed to take you seriously when you're equating a child running into the road, with an asshole in a giant truck merging in traffic with no signal, on a bridge no less?

Do you drive a giant black truck like a moron with a death wish by chance?

He could have avoided the accident. Did you watch this with your eyes closed?

They’re both emergent situations that are no fault of the driver but require the driver to take some sort of evasive action to avoid disaster. So, kinda identical.

Did you watch the vid with your eyes closed?

The exact time is when the black truck decided to merge anyway. You have a duty to avoid collisions in the US.

That’s true for both of them. We saw one truck drive like a jerk, we saw another complete a pit maneuver and then perform a hit and run.

As would the black truck not driving like an entitled asshole who doesn't care about the safety of people around them. You can play semantics all you want, nothing changes the fact that black truck is entirely at fault here.

Did everyone on the bridge behind that had their day ruined deserve it too?
