Blind spot or not....the dips**t came across the solid line. He isn't permitted to merge until the solid ends. We all just saw why it's there in the first place; not that anybody ever pays attention to them though.

At that angle, it is really hard to see what's in the left lane. But big trucks have multiple mirrors. He missed seeing you. In our Zs , with the small mirror, I learned early, you have to get parallel with the other lane before you can count on your mirror.
Thanks for the post. It will help us all be even more careful. It is best to make a serious effort to stay away from big trucks when you can.
Cheers,
