"...evidence in defense of the truck driver..."

---

As motorists we all have a responsibility to maintain control of our vehicles around other road users.
It is a wide-open desert, during daylight hours, good road surface, and what appears to be clear visibility.
If unsure of what he was approaching the safe bet is to put on four-way flashers and slow down until he could discern what is in the roadway.

LOL...Get real. Have you ever driven on a wide open desert highway? Some of the truckers are moving along at 80 and 90 ++mph out there. Of course if people are out there in traffic lanes riding around on their bicycles, they’re going to get busted up and killed. Trust me here.
