Does it really appear to you that he did everything he could to stop?
Yes. Look (and listen) to the time it takes him to stop. I don't care how good your brakes are, the laws of physics apply here. From the lane change begins to the time driver is at a dead stop is 2 seconds. 18-20 on video. People have legitimate reaction times and the driver seemed to be acting within in them. Could you have stopped your vehicle (dead stop) in less than 2 seconds?
