Driver from a few cars back assumes we are all stopped waiting for Christmas?

Whoever's right or wrong, contact or no contact, blindspot or not, it will teach the car driver to sit along the inside of an HGV on a motorway matching it's speed, not to do it again.
Sorry, I can't see at all how that videos shows any blame at all on the car driver.Many a times in 50mph avg. zones on the motorway most cars slow down to 50 (most, not all) but most trucks seem turn from normal members of society to absolute w
kers in these situations.I see repeatedly, lorries bullying other vehicles who are doing 50, usually in the correct lane, by tail gaiting, making aggressive overtaking maneuvers and flashing their lights.
I suspect many lorries fitted with 54mph limiters simply want to stay on these but forget most people go 50 in a 50mph limit (heavens forbid).
Unless the vehicle snuck up on the inside of the lorry , which I doubt, then the Lorry has all responsibility.

I think the crux is that hanging around in another vehicle's blind spot is undoubtedly poor driving, though not necessarily blame inducing in any accident.
So, assuming the lorry decided to overtake the car and then sit there, that's the cars fault?In average speed camera zones, what are you to do?
You should take avoiding action of course, I hang back from lorries and generally give them an extra lane's breadth if I can, certainly wouldn't go up the inside of one, but if I was sat on cruise at 50, some chumpy lorry went past me then sideswiped ........................
Anyway, the above may all be moot if the car did undertake the lorry.
We do not know for sure, but I suspect not.

I can only assume their under such time pressures from their bosses for commercial reasons, combined with working time regulations and everything else, that those few miles per hour over the limit in average speed zones is essential if there's any chance of employee of the month, or something.
The same pressures that seem to justify the five minute, five mile overtakes that must gain nothing more than a couple of minutes over the course of a few hundred miles driving yet seem worth effectively forcing all other traffic to one lane and significantly slowing down hundreds of other vehicles for.😂

This clip is totally the truckers fault by the way - and you can see that as soon as the wagon clips the car he moves back to L2 so he's aware of the incident.

Or when your speedometer says 56mph, you're actually doing less. In average speed zones I turn on the GPS speed display in my dash and set cruise to 56 on the speedometer which is actually 50mph by GPS. The truckers know this, they all have GPS navigation devices so they just keep their foot buried.
Near enough, but if your speedo is showing 56 and you are doing 50 on your GPS, your speedo is out of calibration. The limits are 10% over-read and 0% under-read.The speed cameras won't go off until 10% +2 mph (so in a 50 zone, 57mph) therefore the truckers know that if their speedo (which is calibrated / checked at least every two years by someone like myself) is on the limiter at a maximum of 56 they they won't get pinged.
Outside of lgvs and pcv's, speedometer calibration regulations come under EU type approval iirc and there is no requirement 1) To have a type approved model or 2) To maintain your vehicle to that standard, so no calibration required
Plenty of cases or people being caught at lower than the 10% +2mph, thats ACPO guidelines and has been frequently covered here.

The car with the camera should have went and left the car sitting in the middle of the road. Letting the car go they made that accident happen.
