BUT I defy anyone to come to 'this' RV'ers defense, like in so many other threads, and say we don't have enough info to say one way or the other that RVer's like this have NO business on the road.

1. Obviously a high altitude road from the view of drop off on the right side
2. PASSING a semi on a 2 lane mountain road forcing semi to pull over.
3. SPEEDING to pass the semi
4. Too large of an RV for TV.
5. All caught on dash cam of who he was passing.

And anyone would ever wonder WHY he crashed this RV and flipped over. :R

Driver had is family and kids in that truck and had he flipped in the other direction it would have been all over for all of them.:(

Well can't say I haven't jumped to a conclusion before, but this is a bit.
The link not only in the video did the driver identify the road, but the write up also identifed the road as I82 east bound.

Some one pointed out the semi speed up from about 48ish mph up to 68 back down to 65. I have driven this stretch too many times, three steep ridges the 1st is the worst and pulls semis way down, likely just crested the the ridge and was picking up speed.
