I have no idea why there is so much confusion about the lanes and traffic. Here are the first 4 sentences of my original post:
"We were northbound on Highway 89 between Flagstaff and Page Arizona last Sunday morning. While this stretch of 89 is pretty good road it alternates between 2 and 3 lanes. About 25 miles south of Page southbound it was two lanes with just a double yellow line separating them from the northbound traffic.
Southbound traffic was fairly heavy as we ascended a long grade."
There were 3 lanes.
Two of the lanes were southbound.
One lane, mine, was northbound.
"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."
No conflicting comments were made. Sorry you just don't get that. Yes I was surprised but not in shock, just a little busy doing my best to save our {and probably others} lives. Could not care less that you are 'Not buying"
No "Red Herring" was ever thrown in ... except by you.
:S
Now I'm really confused...The story has become so convoluted and conflicting, I'll give in... the minivan and Class A were both horrible and evil.
At least everyone survived unharmed. I wish you well.
