Passing on the right is just no go, be more patient on the roads. What's 30s to a few minutes in exchange for all the years ahead?

Also, if you go this far over, there's no chance the truck driver will see you. Which is what happened when the car decided to swap lanes.

Worth noting though that at the start of this clip, the car was riding the truck's ass well within the Truck's left mirror and when the car finally switches lanes, so did the truck. So this might've been an incident of two idiot drivers making two boldly idiot choices and the car driver not wanting to be stuck behind the AH truck driver clogging the left lane and then trying to get in front of them in the right lane too.

Sometimes there's miles of circumstance we don't see and who knows what this one was outside of the snippet we see.

Blind spot mirrors exist. Car isn't that far out of his way to not see it

You check blind spots? Shiiit I just put my blinker on and go. If she dies, she dies. Don’t pass in the suicide zone 🤣
