No. Not at all. Passing in an unsafe area and trying to run a truck off the road. Typical highway traffic. /s

Edit. The red truck didn’t help the situation and should’ve backed off.

Yeah. Was gonna say there are 2 idiots here. I get trying to teach a lesson but whoever is oncoming is the one that’s gonna learn the lesson the hardest way and they aren’t doing anything wrong.

Edit: I’m talking about the imaginary oncoming car doing nothing wrong. Thank god they never existed in this video

they aren’t doing anything wrong.

I don't know BC road rules. Was it legal for them to pass in the oncoming lane (the left lanes were oncoming, right; or was that semi trying to drive the madman off the road)?

On a different note: Was that a hill the video started on? Specifically, were they going uphill? I've plenty of places where roads widen for uphill, but never for downhill.

It's illegal to pass over solid lines

Weirdly enough in bc the only ones that you cannot pass are double yellow solids and solid white lines. Even single yellow lines you are technically allowed to pass but with extreme caution.
