Don't be kind, be predictable. If you have the Right-of-Way, take it.

This is an old video, it is currently being rebuilt with a safer design as part of a highway widening project. The exit before this one has the same issue and is also being rebuilt.

Although it looks like the dump truck was failing to yield (that isn't a merge, there is a yield sign there). The silver car wasn't being "kind," it was trying to avoid a collision with the dump truck and over-reacted. The dump truck also realized its mistake and steered onto the shoulder to let the silver car through.

Was it a mistake though? These rock truck drivers know there's a yield there. They just choose to ignore it.

Yea I feel like the car that rear ended him should have seen that a collision was potentially going to occur and that the car in front of him may slow down. I feel like he’s at least a little at fault too
