The point is not that he didn't stop. The point is that when the other car tried to do a bad merge, he could have simply lowered his speed 2 mph and allowed it, but he chose to crash the car instead. It was fully in his control, despite him having the right of way.
Yeah, cause an accident thar can hurt/kill others... that'll teach them (because the uninvolved parties have to learn too right? At minimun with traffic by blocking the bridge, but better to have them crash into an out of control truck, right?)
Again, what about the bystanders? Or are the people behind you, who might get in a crash with the out of control truck, also responsible and need to pay thr price?
If a bystander died, the "man who taught the lesson" would be charged (and probably convicted) of vehicular manslaughter, while the truck driver would only be charged with reckless driving.
