She tried to pass in a no passing zone……I don't think the other driver is responsible for someone else's stupidity…..But if that was me in that situation(being the other truck) I probably would have slowed down)

I understand technically the truck isn't responsible but in the drivers manual (for Ontario at least) if you have room to move over and above a collision (head on, sideswipe etc..) you are obligated to do so. Also if it is safe to do so lets not forget that. In this case it would have been safe to do so as we both had a paved shoulder, not super wide but enough to move over a few feet each. Beside morally it's the right thing to do, even if someone is in the wrong you should do what you can do to save a life as long as it is safe for you to do so. -
Good job GOV'T_Trucker!
