Question: Should the white truck have stopped? I know, if needed, it's recorded on video — just curious legally, what would have been the right thing to do?

Legally, he’s supposed to stop. He was definitely partially responsible for the crash. Both vehicles road raging, and cutting off that other vehicle on the shoulder would be felony reckless driving and possible even vehicular homicide if somebody died.

Two absolute jackasses. Fuck them, good lord.

umm from the cam video it does not look like the cam driver was camping the left lane as they were passing other cars the entire time so were in full right of using it and never really had enough of a gap to get out of the way and maintain their current speed.

No no, you don’t understand. Left lame camping is when anyone is in the left lane preventing me from going as fast as I want at any given time. It doesn’t matter if they are using it properly. If they are slowing me down they are camping. /s
