It is hard to tell from the video for sure. Obviously the passing vehicle is a idiot. It is a dotted line and therefore a passing zone so he should have been able to look far enough ahead and do his pass safely. But, he didn't.
The creator of the video does say that he is in pack of 8 RV's and it can be frustrating to get stuck behind a long line of vehicles.
That being said the passing vehicle screwed up bad if he is running cars off of the road.
And, it is hard to tell from the video but, it looks like the creator of the video could have done a better job of braking and allowing the idiot in the passing vehicle to get back over into the right lane.
The creator of the video says that he can not get onto the shoulder because it is too soft. But, he also says he is down to 45mph at one point. I wonder if he could have gotten over onto the shoulder at 45 ?? Braking harder and getting slower,, before pulling onto the shoulder,! would have been better yet. And, I can't tell what the shoulder is like from looking at the video but, we have soft gravel roads around here and we drive on them at 55 or better.
Nobody was being very nice to each other that day. (Or so it seems. I can't tell for sure of course)
