     @ai6yr There is a truck slowing for the exit up ahead. I don't think this is political. The Ram driver might have wanted to change lanes to the fast lane to avoid slowing down for the truck. The Cyberdumpster happened to be playing hopscotch just then.

     I'll take poor driving skills on both parts, and not glancing before merging for $100.

     His rear license plate is visible. CHP will come calling.

     Hmm, that Dodge Ram driver seems like he'd be a Tump-Melon fan. 🤔

     @ai6yr I was assuming it was a he driving the Ram. Then I recalled my ex-es.

     @steter @ai6yr The driver was arrested the same day according to Wham Bam.

     @steter @ai6yr
     They're also going into a fairly sharp bend immediately after the Ram passed. If that driver wasn't paying attention for a moment, continuing to drive straight would have caused him to quickly drift into the left lane.

     And the attempted pass by the Tesla started off pretty aggressively, both regarding acceleration and lack of clearance. While the Ram was definitely at fault, the accident would have been avoided with a more defensive approach from the Tesla driver.
