This is impossible to calculate without knowing the speed of each vehicle.

Answer:

4 seconds - Not practical

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the truck = 50'

Initial distance behind the truck = 30'

Finish Pass = 50' ahead of truck ,

Pass at = 60mph -- about 3.375 seconds.

- 70mph your closing speed is 130mph.

If you were less than a 1/4 mile away when you tried the pass you will be dead.

That would be a quick pass. You will probably want a mile beyond the oncoming traffic.
