Typical rookie moves. First, not foreseeing the uphill curve which unloads the suspension, then overcorrecting the slide.

Speed limits: ALSO there for a reason. What a jackass. I hope they had a bunch of out-of-pocket repair costs.

Speed limit is posted as 25mph. Car being passed is going 40mph. Seriously lucky this idiot didn't take someone out with him.

He's lucky it wasn't a head-on! Double yellow (often any indicator anyway) and speed limit aside, he had no way of confirming that he had passing room/time with that hill ahead. Stunts like this should be an instant 6-12 month suspension.
