Both drivers were asshats in this situation. I don't think anybody's going to get out a yardstick to prove the cammer car entered the lane too soon. But the driver in the other car was clearly confused about where they were, coming to an almost complete stop in the thru lane before pulling into the turn lane without looking.
I don't think the cammer car was intending to pass. It's just that the other car was so slooooowwwww. Still, the cammer car should have started slowing down, when the other car slowed way down. Similar to situations where someone's trying to merge AHEAD of you, forcing you to brake, only a lot of these cammer cars do NOT back off, because they KNOW they're RIGHT. It's annoying as hell when people try to pass a line of cars JUST in front of the lane ending. If nobody will let them in, that's their problem, but the people not letting them in are turning bad situation worse.
I think this is a tendency with semi drivers when they have the right of way, because keeping momentum is such a big part of keeping those big trucks moving at speed. I'm just a 4-wheeler operator, but I've driven more than my share of the early rice-burners to be jealous of every bit of momentum, because it takes forever to build it up. Nowadays, most 4-wheelers are pretty peppy, but I (can only) imagine how a semi driver must feel about giving up the momentum because someone's actin' the fool.
