Reply to comment by Unable-Bison-272 in Connecticut lawmaker dies in wrong-way crash after attending his own swearing-in ceremony by AudibleNod

Was on a two-lane highway on the way to Vegas with my brother and a semi moved over to our lane, against traffic. My brother and I were in such shock at that moment that we had to register what we were witnessing. Luckily it was about a mile out so we had time to respond to it but it was insane. Almost as scary as watching a minivan pummeled under a semi’s front end.

That is pretty common and legal to do to when passing other vehicles in the same lane. It has to be a dashed yellow center line and not on a blind hill or corner. Have to be careful though.

The same thing happened to me and my sister when I was driving from Vegas to Mammoth Lakes after having picked her up from the airport. Only the semi did that right in front of us, and were on the edge of the roadway as it illegally passed another semi so that there were three of us abreast on a two-lane highway in the middle of a blizzard! It was absolutely terrifying and my sister screamed the whole time! After the ordeal, she complimented me on my driving, and has done so ever since! Ha ha.
