a couple days ago, I was driving behind some guy who wouldn't go faster than 20 BELOW the speed limit. Mind it, I live in Germany. So next thing I try to pass him but I can't b/c the country road is way too curvy + there's traffic ahead. So finally I get a short, straight strip to pass him, I floor and just as I'm overtaking, he suddenly accelerates. So there's a T-crossing ahead, and I just managed to pass and then hit the breaks as hard as I could. I was really lucky I did that instead of just sliding thru, b/c when I stood there I looked left and there was a Renault Clio crossing like 4 ft in front of my hood doing a 100 km.
Thanks Brembo discs and ABS I still live...
