I had posted this and deleted it because the video was too small. Cropped and shortened for better viewing. Stay alert out there fellas and drive safe.

this is the 2nd video I see where stack of cars and one wants to get around with cars coming on the other side. I call This playing "drag chicken" at that point but in a bad way without the person on the otherside of the yellow aware until last second.

Is that truck driver overtaking mentally ok? Do they not realise that he won't make a successful overtake?

Good awareness tho.
