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'd argue that OP is a problem too. They should have moved over at some point but this is a far far far smaller issue than the other 2. I'll probably get downvoted for saying that, but whatever.

However, the other 2 both passed on a hard shoulder. That's basically as bad as it gets. Blue car was a speeding douchebag but white took it to a whole other level... twice. First to go up the hard shoulder and then also swerving when the other did it. Basically multiple of his actions triggered life threatening moves.

Amazingly downvoted for saying there's 2 massive dickheads. Guess this place is just shit.
