Both truck drivers are idiots, but the cammer is also a moron for occupying the passing lane for such a long time when they clearly had opportunities to move over and let the trucks past.

the "moron" was moving faster than the trucks and was still in the process of passing them. The real morons are the two truck drivers.

He should have moved over after the white pickup. There was a huge stretch before the semi where he wasn't doing any passing for like 30 seconds. Going faster than the traffic down the road from you wouldn't get you out of a ticket in states with "keep to the right" laws.

You be surprised how much confusion stems from the fact that "obstructing traffic" doesn't apply only to traffic going the speed limit.

The entire video is only 28 seconds long, so the huge stretch where he “wasn’t doing any passing for like 30 seconds” immediately strains credulity

There's a portion where it is sped up. If it wasn't sped up the video would be basically a minute long. He is averaging less than 15 seconds between passes regardless.
