Yes, that was a really dumb/dangerous move by Subaru....but following it up with a pass on the inside doesn't show either professionalism, or a regard for safety, IMO.  You've just stated that you accelerated to give Subie enough room to fall in behind you, but now there's not enough room to back off the throttle to allow Subie to go ahead?  instead, you accelerate, pass on the inside, and shorten up the distance between you and the camper??

if the Subaru got stoved by the semi going the other way it would have been his fault no on else. even the trucker behind me commented on his radio that the Subaru driver was a moron..shortly after that event he then passed the camper trailer

while you are quoting motor vehicle act sections go find the one that says how to safely pass and find the one that says its okay to pass multiple vehicles and to do it when there is oncoming traffic and when you cant see ahead...

Passing on left

159  A driver of a vehicle must not drive to the left side of the roadway in overtaking and passing another vehicle unless the driver can do so in safety.

Clear view on passing

160  A driver of a vehicle must not drive to or on the left side of the roadway, other than on a one way highway, unless the driver has a clear view of the roadway for a safe distance, having regard for all the circumstances.

HB, I trust your judgement about the Subaru driver, okay? Just please, drive defensively.

That's Pixar's next movie. Ponch and Jon armchair patrol the highways of armchair land while armchair traffic annalists chronicle their adventures.

 

Required viewing for armchair traffic analysts should be Spielberg's early film.

Anyone know: Is it legal to pass more than one vehicle at once in the oncoming lane?

[HB]

He had plenty of room to get in front of you. Why did you speed up?

So why post the video in the first place then? I get you have some weird ego that needs fulfilling by battling off criticism, but hey, that ego could be filled twice as much if you throw us the rear view footage to chop apart!!

[HB]

Posted it like everyone else does when they have an interesting thing to share.

It wasn't put up for criticism it was put up for informational purposes.

There is no rear footage.

 

Carry on thanks for stopping by.

"Now I will sit back and watch all the armchair policemen and armchair traffic annalists pick apart the video like usual"

 

Sure thing.

Relax, nobody is holding you responsible for the Subaru's actions, and the issues with it are obvious.
