do this.your behind a car, wanna over take...the corner is very slightly curving so you carnt see if anythings coming really, but theres enough road if your quick..to overtake.As your passing the car you see a car coming round the corner and you kinda just make it in time, not like really realy close...if you get me

anyone done, or do this?

Only overtake if its clear and straight road

have to be careful as last thing i want is a bent car like mine and a hefty insurance increase

The answer is to get more power so the overtaking is easier

Least that's my excuse anyways!

I had visions like that once, to over take someone infront who was driving very slow, I was late and in a rush to get somewhere...

Ended up running out of petrol about 10 seconds later

you guys should be very careful!

how can you overtake if you can't see round the corner, it's just too much a risk for me, i kind of value my life... its not worth it, esp with those overtaking speeds!

i wasnt shitting it at all suprisingly, i think i took the chance knowing i would of made it even if a car was coming because the bend wasnt 'tight' i could see quite a way round and it bent quite slowly plus i couldent see any headlights because it was dark.i had a friend with me and they never even blinked an eye lid, so it wasnt that close..just i had to rush back in quicker than i would of liked.Stupid stupid thing to do though!! i carnt say i wont do it again though as its just a thing of the moment..once you go your commited and thats it! i know what the guys mean about the visions.I know this sounds silly but im scare of my own driving somtimes!

worst ive done is overtake at night on what I was sure was a straight road (I drove the road everyday, fuck knows what I was thinking - complete brainfart) But it turned out to be a corner, with a big estate coming the otherway. I was soo close I was fucking dribbling. I felt guilty for ages too, felt like a right twat.
