The Jeep driver was 100% in the wrong there. Completely oblivious to the surroundings, merging slowly without any attention paid, didn't even bother to accelerate to make it a smoothe merge. Additionally if the trucker had slowed down for the moron, he would've caused a problem for the other merging cars who suddenly have no place to go.

[@edwardhicks6018]

I live near Abbotsford and know that on-ramp well. The Jeep is at fault. Merge means you must match the speed of the flow of traffic and move into an open space. The Jeep did not match the flow to move into the space in front of the truck. However, it’s equally as dangerous when people treat it as a yield and come to a complete stop. Semi could have seen that coming and slowed to let them in though.

[@GTAmaniac1]

[@bmwrider7961]

the people merging are the ones responsible to yield, not the truck driver

[@jasonjohnson892]

100% right. I wish people get that in their thick skulls. The merging traffic is supposed to yield to highway traffic. In New York, yield means don't stop, take your time getting on the highway and cut someone off in doing so.

[@Narcissist86]

Normally truck drivers try to move out of the right lane near an on-ramp so traffic can merge easily, but there was no space for such a maneuver. The fact that merging traffic is supposed to yield, and given how heavy a fully-loaded semi is, of course the truck isn't going to slow down. Merging traffic is supposed to speed up to match the speed of existing traffic before merging.

[@MysticCrunch7]

You are very right. My parents were driving my new, at the time GL-550. Someone decided they were not going to look merging and just turned right into our SUV. Luckily the lane on the side of us was not occupied and we took advantage of that. No accident occurred thankfully.

Here is the facts i just looked up, you are right Nathaniel.. quote, Here is the fact on Canada merge highway law, the trucker does not have to slow down. If you merge onto highway you must yield to traffic, obviously. (Here's the lane truth: there's no rule that says you have to let in merging drivers. But, it is a nice thing to do if you can, police say. "If you're already in that lane, you're not required by law to let somebody in, but it's obviously a courtesy," says Vancouver Police Const.)

[@radicalrick9587]

Sorry, not buying it. The Jeep was clearly ahead of the truck when the lane merges. The truck driver forces his way to the front therefore shoving the Jeep over the side of the road. What was the Jeep driver to do? slam his brakes, with all the cars behind him, because the truck driver decided to roar pass him?

[@paveltolz6601]

That's the way it works in every state I've lived and driven in too...if you're merging, those already in the lane, like the semi, have no obligation to pick up speed or slow down to assist you.

[@terryb4563]

I don't know what it is with merging because it seems most people going down the ramp think " ya I know it is a 100k zone but I'm going to enter it at 80k" and that was what the jeep was doing. It is so easy, Match speed, pick opening, zipper in, but it seems the driver leading the line does not know these simple steps.

The truck driver was not at fault with the merging traffic, as it is their responsibility to find their own space onto the freeway. That front vehicle had plenty of time to speed up and get in front of the semi, and the one behind him should have gotten behind it. There was plenty of room for everyone.

[@Ratniko]

Agree, but i feel like the biggest idiot here was the car next to the truck, hogging the passing lane. They could have sped up, let the truck switch lanes and this way the people could have merged. At least where i’m from that’s the general rule tou have to follow to avoid accidents like this

[@leexgx]

There is a longer version of that clip the HGV driver was been aggressive at keeping in his lane, but legally he is in the right if drivers on a slip road can't get upto 60 mph to merge safely they shouldn't be driving

[@vladvoznyuk]

I am a CDL holder since 2013. I also used to drive an 18-wheeler for a few years before pursuing a different career. Concerning this accident, generally speaking it is the responsibility of the merging traffic to find a gap to merge. The traffic that is in the lane already has the right of way. However, the truck driver should still be held responsible for causing this accident. This is because CDL drivers must abide by additional set of rules. The THINK concept that all CDL drivers are taught to uphold lists a number of principles to ensure the safest operation of heavy vehicles on the road. One of such principles is "Leave yourself an out." This means that a CDL driver must ensure there is always a gap that would allow for either adequate braking distance or a way for a truck driver to swerve away from a potential accident. Clearly this truck driver completely and (what's worse) intentionally disregarded this principle. The THINK concept has been actually enforced by the court system in the past. Therefore, there is a precedent to charge this truck driver with being at fault in this accident. My personal opinion that truck drivers like this should have their CDL privileges revoked. An 18-wheeler is a potential weapon on the road (especially if HAZMAT is involved). All CDL drivers must be exceptionally defensive drivers under all circumstances. I think there should be zero tolerance for reckless behavior on part of any CDL holder. We should know better.

[@vladvoznyuk]

@@TheRealSykx, my apologies. I could quite tell if there way any contact for sure. It looked to me like there was. If I were in place of that truck driver, I would have slowed down way before I found myself in this situation. This brings me to another principle of the THINK concept that was neglected here: “Anticipate traffic changes half-a-mile ahead.” This means that, if a truck driver sees red brake lights ahead, he must slow down to ensure proper stopping distance way in advance!Because we sit so high up in our seat, we can easily observe the traffic far ahead. This truck driver ignored this principle as well and, therefore, is without excuse. By the way, I’ve done exactly what I preach. Sometimes I had to slow down to a standstill if that’s what it took in the name of safety. Most importantly, I always came home in one piece and clear conscience that I didn’t hurt anyone.

I had to change my roof 2x and I had the orange originally and then when I got my latest replacement, it was not orange anymore.

Type of roof glass depends on build date, they switched a few times with the 3, oil stain-ish when wet or black. Same with the backlit glass.

I don't think that semi was at fault. The people merging are responsible for getting up to speed and finding an opening. If he had slowed down, he'd have impacted everyone already on the road.

[@alexclement7221]

Look at that clip-there are 2 cars to the left blocking the semi driver in. He might've slowed down, but it looks like he was already going slower than the cars around him. Slowing down here would just cause a back-up behind him, maybe a rear-end collision or 2, and an issue with the NEXT cars to merge. A fully-laden truck takes a LOT longer to slow down, and then a lot longer to speed up again afterwards. And, on the entrance ramp, I see 3 cars bunched-up together. Not one of these drivers is merging properly. The Jeep just pulled-in while the truck was passing him. If we're handing out tickets for all the bad driving I'm seeing here on this clip, it would only be for those 3 cars merging from the right. Everybody else is driving properly and legally. It seems like a lot of people here don't know squat about traffic laws....

[@vladvoznyuk]

@@alexclement7221, a truck driver can perceive the proper stopping distance regardless of his load. He should have slowed down to ensure safe operation of the heavy vehicle and allowed for the merging traffic to merge safely. That is one of his responsibilities as a CDL driver. I am a CDL holder since 2013. I also used to drive an 18-wheeler for a few years before pursuing a different career. Concerning this accident, generally speaking it is the responsibility of the merging traffic to find a gap to merge. The traffic that is in the lane already has the right of way. However, the truck driver should still be held responsible for causing this accident. This is because CDL drivers must abide by additional set of rules. The THINK concept that all CDL drivers are taught to uphold lists a number of principles to ensure the safest operation of heavy vehicles on the road. One of such principles is "Leave yourself an out." This means that a CDL driver must ensure there is always a gap that would allow for either adequate braking distance or a way for a truck driver to swerve away from a potential accident. Clearly this truck driver completely and (what's worse) intentionally disregarded this principle. Another principle states "Anticipate traffic changes half-a-mile ahead." This means that, if a truck driver sees red brake lights ahead, he must slow down and (again) ensure proper stopping distance. Because we sit so high up in our seat, we can see over the cars far ahead. This truck driver ignored this also. The THINK concept has been actually enforced by the court system in the past. Therefore, there is a precedent to charge this truck driver with being at fault in this accident. My personal opinion that truck drivers like this should have their CDL privileges revoked. An 18-wheeler is a potential weapon on the road (especially if HAZMAT is involved). All CDL drivers must be exceptionally defensive drivers under all circumstances. I think there should be zero tolerance for reckless behavior on part of any CDL holder. We should know better.

from where I'm from, there's a law prohibiting giving room for merging traffic in a highway - changing lanes or braking would generate just additional risk - compared to the effort of merging traffic to adjust their speed/merging to the highway traffic.

[@stout_tossme7541]

Yep. This.

[@Matt18001]

While it's not prohibited in BC, Canada the highway traffic act definitely does not require letting people merge in. They have to match the speed of traffic.

Hi

[@rustybros]

I got my class A license and even the DMV handbook said that the semi truck had the right away because merging traffic has to yield. When they teach you in trucking school they also tell you to not slow down for merging traffic cause you will cause an accident for braking when the flow of traffic is going at a certain pace. Also to anyone that haven't drive a semi truck should know that when the truck is fully loaded at around 80,000 lbs, don't expect it to brake on a dime. It will not be able to brake before plowing you off the freeway, so don't cutoff semi trucks if you want to live.
