I have to agree. The truck is at fault. Apart from not scanning ahead and slowing down, he is a professional driver (commercial trucker). He is supposed to be better than most drivers. Second point, CHECK YOUR REAR VIEW MIRRORS. The scooter rider did look, but by then it was too late. Everyone assumes that danger is ahead of them. A lot of people die because the fail to look behind them.
