This is rude and unsafe of the pickup driver, the merging traffic has the duty to either be in front of or behind the traffic they are merging with.
Every work day I cover 25 miles to work and then 25 back home. Often encountering drivers that make me wish for yearly or bi-annual behind the wheel testing. After a few close calls (and friends telling me I must be making some of this up) I decided to purchase an inexpensive dash camera that turns on and off with the ignition. These posts are pieces of the near daily antics encountered driving in the Antelope Valley and beyond.

050313 Rude Merger
On the way home a rude merger was spotted. The pickup truck was closer to the rear of the tractor trailer but rather than tap brakes to slow down and merge behind the driver stayed steady forcing the tractor trailer to merge left.
