I was driving once one a 2 lane road (both ways). The road goes down a huge hill, and allows passing on the side I was on.
At the time I felt the need to be at the front of traffic (which was 2 cars), so I opted to pass them going down this hill. The problem is that oncoming traffic is also coming down a huge hill (think valley), so as a result I pulled out to pass, was halfway through passing the 2 cars on my right, and the minivan that was far off is suddenly dead ahead of me.
He pulled to the shoulder as much as he could and I gunned it and made the pass.. But I almost died, and unfortunately the driver of the van would have died too due to my desire to pass.
