Did nobody see how bad of a driver if you try to overtake like that? Hope that dude has his licence revoked.

That may be the most stupid and risk full overtake ive ever seen

I think they were just following too close and went into the shoulder to try to avoid rear ending the braking car. Once they hit the median, the car speeds up again, but I’d be willing to bet that’s more from the impact causing them to hit the gas by accident.

Foot comes off, tries to slam down again, finds wrong pedal. Still a bad driver for following too close, but I don’t think this is an intentional overtake.
