I was given a hard time by a coworker about this.
He thinks it was foolish to try and pass both cars, and it was fully my fault, no matter the action of the cement truck.
So, I’m adding this to defend my position, in case that may be the (unspoken) view here As well.
here’s pictures of the stretch of road. Long and straight for easily a 1/3 mile.
And while it was technically double yellow lines, the passing zone was eminent, I had a clear view of everything, with zero chance of cross traffic.
The pic on the left is where I was coming from (you can see where I hit the dirt after crossing lanes) and the pic on the right is where I was headed (can see where I left the shoulder, to cross the lanes)
This should’ve been a real easy pass. Wtf.
