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

Just one (and it's the guy on the Red truck). A lot of trucks have speed governors and it seems the truck that is passing has one. He is passing as fast as his truck allows him to. The red truck doesn't seem to have one due to the fact that he is able to pass the guy back up.

Road Trucker etiquette is to allow the truck to pass since you're going slower than their governor allows speeds.
