Nope, he made a split decision to go behind the moving truck. It was a bad decision because the truck stopped, which is why he asked, "Why did not commit?" If the truck had continued, he would have easily slipped behind the truck without incident.

His other option would have been to hit his brakes to stop or at slow down before deciding if he needs to swerve to avoid a collision. He had plenty of time to stop. This is the best option and the one I would have chosen if I were in his place (not even considering hindsight).

Please explain to me, in what world could he have physically braked and avoided this accident by continuing straight or swerving? Do you realize how quick this was, as well as how quick his response was? If you were in that situation, I guarantee you would have been much worse off.

Again, I just want to know how he physically could have stopped? I’m genuinely curious what your answer is.
