[QUOTE="gpsman, post: 4381236, member: 131787"]You don't know that motorist applied the brakes for a "brake check". They might have reacted due to looking at the speedo, or their radar detector might have lit, ad infinitum. The truck driver shares a great deal of fault. When the first car was passing he should have assumed it would be moving to his front and backed off the throttle. He didn't. When the first car exhibited the intention to move L by signaling he should have backed off the throttle. He didn't. When the first car moved to his front he should have backed off the throttle. He didn't. When the second car was passing he should have assumed it would also be moving to his front and backed off the throttle. He didn't. Pretty clear-cut case of the easily avoidable "crash". The least funny thing about "driving" is those who are worst at it tend to think they're best at it. This nitwit should not possess a CDL.[/QUOTE]
