I watched that video
And he says he did slow down
Everyone of us know that slamming on the brakes at highway speed is a dangerous last resort, that can result in loss of control and roll over
And the side of the road at the time of passing was soft sand
He pulled over when he got to a section that was hard packed ground

The class A driver was an idiot, driving faster than all other prevailing traffic, and passing everybody on a two lane black top

Could have been mitigating circumstances like, the Class A driver had to go pee real bad or shat his pants and wanted to get where he could remove them asap....

Guess thats why I always drive slightly below the posted limit, leave plenty of space between me and the next vehicle and when I get passed, I immediately reposition myself to maintain assured clear distance. I'm never in any hurry to get anywhere. I'll die soon enough without being stupid.

I am betting on the shat his pants, not the RV driver but the drivers of the 3 cars LOL.

I am confrontational in such situations. If I was driving one of those cars, I would of turned a 180 and ran that guy down. It may not have been pretty but the next time he stopped he would have received a piece of my mind. Especially if I had my grand daughter or wife in the car with me.

Sadly you have too many incapable geezers out on the roads driving RV's that should not be driving a battery powered shopping cart at Walmart, as well as a fair amount of typical ******** that just do not know how to drive in general. I often commute I-79, I-70, and the PA pike 130+ miles per day, and see lots of stupidity or just plain incompetence with both MH's and bumper pulls. I -79 from Erie to the WV line is a hoot when the snowbirds are migrating. A good case for some type of required driving test with these things.
