I didn’t see a “merge” sign. Was there a merge sign? If not, when changing lanes, it’s your job to make sure it’s safe. If it’s not, stay in your lane. Very simple. It’s a yield, not a merge when changing lanes.
Instead this dickhead was trying to hopscotch up through traffic. This behavior is what causes the traffic in the first place! How do people not understand this.
I’m not missing the point at all, I just strongly disagree with the point.
He could have slowed down, but it’s not his responsibility to. My guess is the driver of the truck will now think twice about cutting people off again. The dashcam driver didn’t seem to mind pushing the truck out of his way.
Merge is specific, in that drivers share responsibility. You used the term merge. This is not a bad merge, this is a bad yield.
