You state that you were unclear if the Class A was accelerating or not...then you say he was...lots of speculation.
I'm still saying it's the minivan that was at fault and it's sketchy if any blame does or does not fall on the Class A.
If you’re driving defensively and you see someone passing you, you watch the horizon and take your foot off the gas.
Honestly, with the conflicting comments form the OP, we don't know what really happened and if the Class A didn't let off the gas. Going down a grade, letting off the gas may not slow him down much. Going in the opposite direction and admitting he was surprised and in shock, I'm not buying he was able to objectively estimate anything.
PS: It appears based on other posters comments that it was NOT a 3 lane roadway. I don't know why that red herring was thrown in because it confused the discussion greatly. This was a simple passing situation on a 2 lane 2 way roadway.
