Watch your mirrors.
This video was taken yesterday just north of Yucca Valley CA. Carl and Susan Youngren are in the trailer being run off the road. This guy had passed a grain truck, car and our rig before trying to pass Carl on the same try.

There's no shortage of morons that have no qualms about endangering others on the road. Glad everyone is OK.

Looks like a "no passing" zone to me.

Folks like that don't think the rules apply to them.

Yep, "No Passing" is just a suggestion.

Holy COW! That is why I have a dash cam and use it all the time, especially when towing. Glad Carl and Susan were 'on the ball' and maneuvered to avoid a terrible collision. Had to be a scary few moments though.
May the fleas of 1000 camels infest that idiot driver's armpits.

Hats off to Carl and Susan for being aware of their surroundings and having the presence of mind to take evasive action. Wow.

Don't have those kind of shoulders on the east coast. In VA, you're lucky to have a foot or two & then gravel for another one or two. People seem to pay more attention to those no passing 'suggestions' a lot more, because no one will (or CAN) move over.

Wow, we are thankful that Carl was alert and took the shoulder to avoid the stupid car driver, and thanks to Larry for documenting the car driver's willful neglect. Another thumbs-up for dash cams, way to go Larry.
