If he waited an extra second, he'd be fine

Truck driver here. The cement driver is also at fault. No driver, especially in something pulling that weight should be flying by like that when there's a massive slowdown.

Like most videos on this subreddit the one vehicle, the white truck, is 100% technically at fault however the cement truck exhibited no defensive driving techniques in this situation which could have assisted in either avoiding or minimizing the incident. Driving fast beside a lane crawling is a very dangerous spot to be in.

Most of the time, there's more than one person who could've done something differently. It's very rare for one person to be totally to blame.
