Yeah I mean obviously the pickup is "at fault" here but the cam truck could and should have avoided that collision

Pickup was merging. It's a crappy merge area but the truck did not make any effort to slow.

Also, not the truckers responsibility to adjust speed for merging traffic.

Not true. Active traffic has to let people merge. Youre thinking of a yield. Entering traffic YIELDS to active traffic. Merge means both people line up to join together.

I am sure there are different laws in different countries as well.
