Barely 20 years old and "young and dumb", I was driving my Mk 1 Cortina down an arterial Rd Near Sydney one night. For a while I had been held up by two slow cars travelling together. At the first opportunity to pass I pulled out to overtake, when halfway past the first car, an oncoming car came around the corner ahead of me, I tried to pull back in but they blocked me, no time to brake, so I turned my headlights off, but left the parkers on, indicated right and drove down the right hand shoulder of the road and let the oncoming car pass between us, closest I've ever been to oblivion
I have always been more care full when overtaking since then. and that was nearly 50 years ago.
