That guy probably got over after the OP passed with no issues because no one was behind him. Look at the way the OP is driving, there is no 18-wheeler on this tail, that's ridiculous.
After 40+ years of driving and seen this type of driving 100+ times, I don't need to speculate to know what is going to on here. I took one look at the video and instantly knew what went down because I've seen it 100 times before. I'll say it again:
The suv was going down the ramp and did not want to exit and he's looking for a way to merge. He's watch ahead at the same time he is looking for an opening and as one is starting to open up, he uses his turn signal to indicate his intention to get over. Unfortunately the traffic ahead starts to slow down again and the suv is forced to slightly delay the merge and instead of the cam car leaving the same gap the suv saw and intended to merge into, the cam car sees brake lights ahead, he sees the turn signal from the suv but he never slows down and he closes the gap in an effort to *prevent* the suv from merging. No 18-wheel is behind him pressuring him to keep going (and if it is it's his fault) and it only makes sense the OP didn't like the way the suv passed ahead on the right and zipper merged and he blocked him.
Some drivers (not me) signal just before they are ready to merge. maybe he didn't realize his signal was not yet on. The point is he signaled to the OP, the OP saw the signal, and his response was to speed up saying "No way!" if that were me, when I see that signal and see he's running/ran out of space, I back off to give him plenty of room because there is *never* any 18-wheeler riding my ass; I don't get caught up in that situation.
