I still think it's a case of driving too fast. And over reacting.

He was in left lane passing and going too fast. Had he been driving the speed limit a coach towing should have been in the right lane, it wouldn't have flipped over when he tried to go around around what ever was laying in the road.

Over reacted at high speeds. Just saying. We will never know what really happened from just the video though.

And how can you tell he was speeding or going too fast! You would have to know how fast the truck was going and that wasn't given. I have been certified as a police speed radar Operator in Florida since 1989. Part of that is being able to estimate speed of moving traffic within 3 MPH. From the cab of a truck though it is unlikely that anyone can accurately estimate either vehicles speed without knowing at least one of them. Give the driver a break! I usually drive at 62 regardless of the speed limit (you know what I mean) and I even pass a truck every now and then.

Actually, assuming the video plays at actual speed, it would not be too difficult to figure out the speed mathematically based on the time and the stripes in the road. You would have to know the distance between the stripes.

LOL, I'm a retired Navy Chief and State Cop not a rocket Scientist. I just hate convicting some poor slob here on this super fair and friendly forum when we don't have the required info to do so. My sense of fair play I guess.
