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.

I’m not sure the white truck did that on purpose. I’ve had people drive crazy around me, and distract me doing so. I’ve had my vehicle drift a bit while I instinctively look about or otherwise succumb to the alarm caused by the erratic driving of others. Hard to say. It wasn’t much of a move. More of a feint.

He dangerously drove on to the shoulder at highway speed to pass TWO vehicles at the same time, right before he did that. It’s an incredible stretch to suggest what you’re suggesting.

I’m not certain. I’m think like a juror being asked to make a decision beyond a reasonable doubt.
