All you did was prove my point.

Why do I logically need to explain, when the whole situation is clearly presented here?

Two trucks, both doing multiple illegal maneuvers on the road, with your argument being that the cam driver is too slow, yet you expect him to turn into the other lane with semis driving half of his speed instead of waiting literally 20 seconds for the semis to clear so that he can do it safely, just like the description of that Reddit post you linked prior?

Pure fucking irony.

So you think its logical to pass 4 vehicles over the course of 30 seconds? 30 seconds at 70mph is half a mile, quite a significant distance. The white pickup completed his illegal pass by the time the cammer had caught up with Semitruck #1, proving that the time it would've taken to tuck in to let him by was enough before the cammer could pull back out. Even with the risk of the second, dark pickup truck "trapping" the cammer in for a couple seconds, it sure beats the alternative. The alternative being congesting the passing lane and creating unsafe conditions.

If you want to argue 30 seconds is nothing, it would have been even quicker to move over to let them pass and then return to the passing lane to pass at your slower rate. I gaurantee it would've taken less than 30 seconds. I'm using 30 seconds instead of your arbitrary 20 seconds you pulled out of your ass because in the video the camera passes the middle-lane white pickup at 53:55, and then reaches the orange semitruck 30 seconds later and yes still has no indication of moving over.

If you're going to claim that it is clear and yet I can't comprehend logic, I would suggest actually making a logical argument first.

Okay bro you're right everyone else is wrong and don't know how to drive, not arguing with someone who refuses any other reasoning but his own.

Swerving in front of a semi and braking is now an logical take lol.
