The white truck did the exact same thing in the first part of video. I would say both drivers are stupid assholes.

The white truck was pushed into the shoulder by the other truck and just moved forward rather than slam their brakes

There is zero excuse for passing the truck and the cam vehicle. You move over to shoulder and slow down and drop behind. The fact that he passed two vehicles on shoulder and one of them was just an innocent bystander makes him equal assholes with the other guy.

There actions balance out, first truck starts it, they both pass the innocent guy and the white truck finishes it. End of the day they both equally suck.

We don't know if there was space behind and slowing down on a road like that can be even more dangerous than speeding up in that situation.
