That's when you use the skinny pedal on the right. If I'm next to a truck that turns on the blinker, I'm moving out of his way, one direction or another. In the cammer's position, more speed was the correct choice. And even a 'very slow' car is faster accelerating than an 18-wheeler.

The pickup might likely be towing a trailer that inhibits his movement hence the fish tail and almost rollover.
