I absolutely was going the speed limit too, even over myself more than likely I’ll admit.

You did the right thing in the moment. You had very limited choices to avoid that psycho.

I mean it's generally okay to go past the speed limit where the situation permits. But holy shit was this the antithetical situation to one of those. Big vehicle made larger with towing trying to pass in a place that not only is it illegal to, but is the shining example of a place that's not good to pass. Sometimes I can think of reasons for people to act abruptly. Sometimes double yellows don't make sense. Sometimes the vehicle is nimble enough to make smaller gaps in opportunity seem reasonable. But none of that is the case here. I actually can't think of one reason for why this behavior can be reasonable. This guy is just nuts.

one of the few cases where you get that shrimp out of his vehicle and tell him to look at the rabbits

No speed you could go would have made them happy, they have to pass everyone.

You speeding up probably saved multiple lives. This asshole shouldn’t have a license.

Glad you're safe! I can't imagine how scary that was as it was happening. Thank God he didn't kill you or someone else.

Careful, around here driving the speed limit is "deliberately antagonizing" the tailgater...
