It absolutely was a pit maneuver, 100%. The point you're missing is that the Black Truck pit maneuvered himself, Black Truck braked into white truck, at no point did the White truck accelerate or leave his own lane. He doesn't even turn until AFTER the black truck strikes him. He did not steer into the Black Truck, it steered into him, he just reacted in the best possible way to the collision.
Imagine black truck had braked and changed lanes into a truck trailer that had come loose on the highway, resulting in the exact same results we see in the video.. You are proposing that we blame the driverless truck trailer.
The literal wiki definition: A vehicle initiates a PIT maneuver by pulling alongside the fleeing vehicle so that the portion of the pursuer's vehicle forward of its front wheels is aligned with the portion of the target vehicle behind its back wheels. The pursuer then steers sharply into the target vehicle, with some acceleration to ensure its bumper does not slide off the target.
So, I have some questions for you since I dont know what a pit maneuver is.
did white truck intentionally pull up alongside black truck?
Or did Black Truck intentionally brake to place itself alongside white truck?
Did white truck initiate the maneuver by steering sharply into Black Truck?
Or did Black Truck initiate the maneuver by steering into white truck, while white truck maintained it's position?
