How not to drive a motorhome

I don't see how there can be much blame put on the C driver, he braked when the A was passing, it just happened to be at the same time the A braked. As far as the pulling off the road for dramatic effect, he said he pulled off the road to calm his nerves, I can understand that.

Besides, the speed limit, 55 or whatever it was, is the maximum speed allowed, it doesn't mean you have to go that speed. I have to remind myself of that when I'm aggravated by someone in front of me going under the limit.

Here is another video of them having trouble with passing Class A. Makes one wonder if this group just has bad luck, or if they are a traffic hazard with their Class C rolling roadblock?

I believe that is the same incident recorded by a different person.

The class C driver, the passee was not the first in line of the caravan, and was not setting the Pace
He was following in line at a safe distance
The class A driver had room between vehicles, to get in after passing
What he did not have was time to get in place because of miss judging the on coming traffic, he was passing and weaving in and out , driving like he was in his toad, did not have the acceleration capability in the dp, to be driving that way

I am still searching for the fencepost that borne me LOL.

I didn’t see anyone blaming the passee instead of the passer. We were possibly blaming the passee in addition to the passer, with the passer holding most of the blame. Even then it was done with speculation since none of us has as of the facts. Everything is not as it seems, espceically on over-dramatic YouTube videos.

This victim may well have driven past dozens of pullouts while impeding traffic or as others assume could have been innocently minding his own business doing nothing wrong. Either way the passer took the risk and responsibility but in the first case the passee was a contributor to his own issue. When it’s happened multiple times to the same guy, I’m more likely to vote for the first one.

Be safe out there and try to stay out of other people’s accidents. ;)

You got to admit this thread has taken a better turn. Almost spit my coffee on the crow and the fence post theory!

Well, yeah .... but right after that initial couple .... can't maybe a whole bunch of mankind probably trace it's origins back to a murderer? ;)

Not me. I came from a monkey :B

ROFLMAO........Pops always used to tell me years ago that a crow shat me on a fence post, and the sun hatched me. No Monkeys involved.

GOOD LORD!!! LOL!!! That is some funny stuff!
